Before I say anything else, let me just say that I have nothing but love for Christmas Music, and in the general sense, for Christmas Caroling. But is the Metro the right place to do it? Organizers of this evening’s caroling flashmob on the Metro, Melanie Spring and Jason McCool believe that [...]

Lucky for me I didn’t have to go to work today, which would entail riding the Orange Line to Rosslyn.
If I did I’m sure I would of been one of the many angry tweets about this morning’s commute.

There’s an old saying that goes “it’s darkest before the dawn” or somesuch. Maybe the Caps need to engrave that mantra in the locker room, because this last stretch of games sure look as bleak as the Washington skies this morning; if the team lives up to its preseason hype in [...]

If this morning’s dusting wasn’t enough to convince you that the cold heart of winter is here, the next few days of cold temps will probably do it. Fortunately, we’ve got the warmth of the impending holidays around the corner to beat back the chill for [...]

There’s a moment when “There’s only three games left in the season?” turns into, “Phew, there’s only three games left in the season.” That may have happened yesterday, and so you get the intonation of that sentence right, we here at We Love DC are proud to provide you with [...]

On Saturday, Washington was hit by an Avalanche.
The Capitals dropped their fifth straight game on Saturday, losing 3-2 to Colorado before the 78th consecutive sellout at Verizon [...]

The Knicks entered the Verizon Center Friday night riding a seven game winning streak on the road.
In other words they were exactly the team the Wizards are aspiring to be after starting the season 0-12 on the road. The Wiz came back home after a long stretch away from DC, playing the [...]

A We Love DC Interview: Amy Morton of Morton Fine Art
*A Pop-up Project, Pretty Little Things, 2010.
Since art appreciation and collection has historically been considered a past-time saved only for the affluent and rich, it is no surprise that a fine art gallery can sometimes be an intimidating place to enter. However, a new take on the art gallery in DC, called Morton Fine Art [...]

It’s snooooooowing. Don’t ask me why the trucks are out in full force when it’s snowing, but not when it’s raining. (Probably because it’s not really snowing, but whatever.)
