If you’d like a way to ease yourself into the Halloween spirit there’s a free reading tonight that might be right up your alley. Petworth’s own Eric Nuzum, author of The Dead Travel Fast, has another book in the works. Dead was about vampires and our obsession with them. Nuzum describes [...]

If last weekend told you anything, it’s that cold weather is right around the corner. I’m writing, dear reader, to inform you of a method of defense against chill. I want to bestow upon you a chili recipe that will warm your body and soul. A chili recipe that is, as [...]
Brewfest: Here again, marginally closer
Brewfest time again! They’ve moved the fall event in a little closer than Summer’s Leesburg, though not a lot: This Saturday and Sunday the event will be going on at Broad Run Park in Centerville, otherwise known as “way the hell out there by Dulles Airport.” I’m interested in going, but unfortunately the options for [...]

There’s one thing on everyone’s mind in DC this week. Health care, taxi cab fraud, economic recession…they’re all taking a back seat for now. I mean, they’re important and stuff. But the one and only thing you should be worried about right now is what you’re going to be for [...]

The DOJ announced that Gregory William Fair of Falls Church has been sentenced to 41 months in prison and three years of supervised release. It would seem that peddling “counterfeit” computer software is pretty profitable. Fair has to pay just shy of $750,000 in restitution after already [...]

I ran across an interesting piece in the Post today about Adam Lewis. You’ve never heard of him, but he’s the guardian of the Wikipedia entry on Washington, DC. It seems that under Lewis’ careful eye, the DC entry has gone from a shoddy, decaying entry to a [...]

Got time for a long lunch? Then head over to the Center for Digital Imaging Arts (CDIA) on Friday, October 30th from 12-2pm to check out “Art & Copy,” a documentary about advertising and innovation that includes some of the industry’s greatest minds, like George Lois, Mary Wells, Cliff Freeman, Dan Wieden, [...]

Hi, and welcome to another edition of Where We Live. This week, we’ll be looking at a DC neighborhood that is older than DC– Georgetown! Home to beautiful architecture, a thriving commercial district, and a major university, Georgetown probably draws more out-of-towners than any other DC neighborhood (except maybe Adams Morgan on [...]

As part of the promo for the movie Armored, due out in December, you might spot a beautifully painted Armored car, complete with security guard and redone interior, in the DC area this weekend. I caught it in front of Ben’s Chili Bowl this afternoon, where it will be part [...]

Awesome photo courtesy of Karl Johnson
If you read my post from a couple of days ago about the Ballston Super Pollo suddenly shutting its door, you may still be rather distraught and unsure of how your life will ever return to normal. Call me the bearer of GOOD news (if you will) because today we [...]

Charley Cooper, Georgetown sophomore, has a problem. He’s just so… busy. Classes, part-time job, lifestyle maintenance, it’s all too much. So he’s advertising for a personal assistant. The successful candidate will do Charley’s laundry, schedule his haircuts, drive him to and from his part time job, gas up his car, etc. For [...]
