We Love Arts: Red
De Kooning. Pollock. Rothko. Giants of the Abstract Expressionist movement. Killers of Surrealism, only to be swept aside themselves by Pop Art. At least, that’s how the legend goes (even Rothko would disagree with the precise classifications). But is a revolutionary’s story compelling if it doesn’t end in a young, glorious death? In Red, playwright [...]

Comparables: 1633 Hermitage courtesy of juggernautco Many of you that frequent We Love D.C. know me as the writer for the Redskins, Nationals, and other sports, but in the day time and sometimes at nights I am a licensed Realtor in the state of Virginia with Weichert, Realtors. What we have in this area is [...]

“Wisdom” courtesy of pablo.raw I decided to do something completely different for the Featured Photo segment today. What you see above is called a sterographic projection, or polar panorama. By using a photo editing program, like Photoshop, a photographer can take a regular, 360 degree panoramic photo and turn it into a little planet.

Derrick Rose courtesy of Keith Allison Reigning MVP Derrick Rose was in a mood. Sunday night he blamed himself for a loss against the Miami Heat that left him angry, emotional, and determined to make it up in the next game he’d play. Unfortunately for the Washington Wizards they were that next game. Rose looked [...]

Anacostia River – Rolling On the River – 5-30-09 courtesy of mosley.brian There’s a great video (after the jump) of Gabe Horchler of Cheverly MD. Mr. Horchler (the father of one of my friends from Cheverly) has been commuting to work on the Anacostia River for the past 14 years. The video is full of [...]

dupont circlecourtesy of dracisk If you use the South Entrance of the Dupont Circle Metro Station, well, I hope you like walking. You’ll be doing more of it, soon. Starting Wednesday, the South Entrance will be closed for 9 months while WMATA replaces the 185-foot spans that rise 85 feet to street level. The company [...]
More »Randy Wittman: The Coach Washington Deserves, But Not The One It Needs
Randy Wittman courtesy of Keith Allison “Why’s Randy coaching, Dad?” “Because we had to fire Flip.” “He didn’t do anything wrong.” Flip Saunders may have not done anything wrong, but he certainly didn’t do anything right. In one way Flip will be the fall guy for another failed Wizards season, but in another way Flip [...]

DC Empanadas – La Venganza de Tio Shawncourtesy of bonappetitfoodie Who are you kidding anymore? It’s late January and your resolution to lift more weights and less sandwiches into your maw has gone out the window. So why not get a big ole food truck lunch? Besides, walking to and fro will be some good [...]
More »We Love Arts: The Two Gentlemen of Verona
Ah, love. The kind that makes you stalk your lover, lie to your best friend, steal someone else’s girl. We’re talking young, hormone-addled, angst-ridden love. Add in some fervent karaoke singing, late night fast food binges and way beyond last call drinking, and it’s love in Shakespeare Theatre Company’s The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Rarely [...]

“Year of the Dragon I” courtesy of pablo.raw Happy Lunar New Year! Welcome to the Year of the Dragon. Granted the Chinese New Year started last Monday, but the parade in Chinatown was held yesterday, so I feel it is official, official. Hope this second new year brings you all good fortune and cheer.

7.18.10courtesy of Paige Weaver I’ve been trying to come to terms with this all day. I’ve been sitting on this post for a few hours, but it seems right now to post it. Since we moved to Brookland, our weekend haunt has been the beautiful steel diner on Bladensburg road, the Capital City Diner. I first [...]
More »Friday Happy Hour: Sunburner
My friend and I were heading more or less home for the night, but it was uncommonly mild and a bit early, so we decided to stroll a few blocks out of the way to get a drink before turning in. The last couple of times we had tried to slip into Tabard Inn, it [...]
More »Food Tweet of the Week
So I’m venturing out of DC for this Tweet of the Week and north to Bethesda. At Chef Tony’s the rotating menu is seafood focused. The only thing Chef Tony Marciante might care about almost as much as food is social media. On his website banner you can see a caricature, plus all the ways to get [...]

Brad Lidge courtesy of afagen The Nationals missed out on Prince Fielder when the Tigers swooped in at the last minute to offer a 9 year $214 million dollar contract. That doesn’t mean the off-season is over and it certainly doesn’t mean Mike Rizzo is done trying to improve the Nats. Since the Nats failed [...]

Photo courtesy of Angie Salame I write this while in a full blown food coma (#foodieproblems) with a delightful pain and taste bud/sensory overload, but more over, faced with writer’s dilemma, trying to find a way to describe the past four hours of absolute mastery that just went down at Rogue 24. Long -24 course [...]
