Here comes July! As you consider going to concerts in the dead of summer, I just want to impart a few words of wisdom: you can’t always count on the A/C at some of DC’s music venues. I’m thinking specifically of Rock and Roll Hotel, where it is nearly impossible to go to [...]

Have You Seen Molly?
This is Molly. She’s a 4 year old Vizla who was tied up outside the P Street Whole Foods last night around 6:00 PM for a few minutes. When her person came back out to pick her up, Molly was gone, apparently stolen by someone with NO CONSCIENCE AT ALL. Seriously, who steals a dog?

One of the things I love about photography is that there are many different genres to keep things interesting for both the photographer and the viewer. I’ve dabbled in sports, macro, street, nature, and portrait photography and found that I enjoy something about each style. While each [...]

According to The Phillips, “Poets sit, read, eavesdrop, write, or hide in CAFÉ” and “There will be plenty of poets and opportunities to be [...]

Specifically, today’s story from WTOP about how much money the District’s parking enforcement group brings in: 25 times what is collected in Fairfax County, and a per-resident [...]

A week after the original projection for the RW cast move in date, there’s still no sign of them. The house looks like it’s more or less ready to go.
