Via MovingMomentarily comes the story of a couple who got engaged right on a Metro escalator:
“We went down to the metro platform, I was beaming and looking at my ring and a woman standing near us asked if we had just gotten engaged. I said “Yes! It’s kind of [...]

It’s June! We made it! Finally, an end to those cold temperatures and a hearty welcome to sundresses and summer concerts. I know I’m excited. For that reason, I have included a couple of larger venues in my June concert preview that I’ve been leaving out in the past. Because what better [...]

The National Museum of Natural History is going macro with its new exhibit, The Hidden Life of Ants. Natural History is already one of the bigger draws on the Mall, especially with the recent release of Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (which they are playing on their IMAX, btw), but [...]

You may have already heard the news, fashionista, but one of my favorite DC clothing boutiques, Moojoo Ken is closing. Moojoo is selling virtually everything in their store, including appliances, at up to 80% off, now until, well “closing”.
Moojoo Ken’s twitter account has something slightly fortelling, “closing up the U Street brick-and-mortar. We [...]

Frankly, I’m surprised it took us this long to gobble this entry right up on the Omnivore’s list.
Ok, I’ll admit it right off – I love comfort food. I don’t like the massive amount of exercise I need to conduct to burn off one of these babies [...]

Thanks, RFD, for the hilarity that ensued when I grabbed a menu to order a mug of suds last night while on a date with my lovely wife. I think RFD only puts out new menus when they are [...]
More »Monday Morning Metrofail: Orange and Blue Lines
Orange and Blue Line riders had a hellish commute this morning thanks to a train down due to mechanical difficulties at Foggy Bottom station, causing single-tracking and trains held at stations up and down both lines in both directions. I waited on a Vienna-bound Orange Line train at Metro Center for about twenty minutes before [...]

The Twitterphere’s a-twitter this morning with news that the Real World DC will begin filming on June 20th. Their Location? … Dupont Circle. I guess this was to be expected. With plenty of places to eat and bars to destroy frequent, the general Dupont Area is an unshocking choice for RW locale. [...]

This weekend’s take in the WLDC Flickr pool was dominated by photos of Artomatic, many by our frequent contributors.
If you’d like to see your photos in Flashback, there’s really only one guideline we use: it has to be a shot taken between the Friday and Sunday prior. When we have extended [...]

The buzz inside the National Building Museum Saturday night was near deafening. Glasses clanked, people’s discussions echoed through the great hall, and music floated through the air. From jeans and tee shirts to high heels and cocktail dresses, the crowd at the American Craft Beer & Food Experience known as Savor was in [...]
