Weekend Flashback: 2/3-2/5

“what remains” courtesy of ekelly80 Well, exciting weekend. And after all the activity at McPherson Square and Freedom Plaza, no mere game seemed able to compete. And from the sound of it, the commercials were much, much worse than the game. I decided to read a book instead last night and can tell you that Wall still stands. I’m not sure the same can be said of the New England part of my family..

Weekend Flashback: 1/27-1/29

“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.

Weekend Flashback: 1/20-1/22

“Living in the Shadows” courtesy of csuspect Please raise your hand if you hate weekend snow fall as much as I do. Talk about a waste. At least everyone who follows the Federal Government got a two hour delayed opening. The rest of us get to walk/drive through the ice the slackers never around to shoving when it was snow (personally, I’m looking at you Park Service; if I slip while walking through Franklin Park, it’s on!).

Weekend Flashback: 1/13-1/16

“015 – Happy Birthday, Dr. King” courtesy of knascar When I said last week that we would be paying for those Spring-like temperatures later in the Winter, I wasn’t expecting it to be the next weekend. Man it was cold. I’d do some comparisons but I’ll just leave it at the scientific cold. As such, it looks like most people stayed in doors for the long weekend, only venturing out here and there.

Weekend Flashback: 1/6-1/8

‘Fresh Noodle’ courtesy of ep_jhu How did everyone enjoy their Spring weekend in the middle of Winter? Personally, I was both shocked and pleased to be walking around without a jacket on. However, as a friend of mine said this weekend, you just know we’re going to be paying for this weather later in the year. But let’s worry about those 30 degree days in May when they come. Check out what our photogs saw during the good weather and relive 60ish weather in January.

Best Of: Photos 2011

Four days left in 2011. It has been a doozy of a year: government shutdowns, and people protesting for their rights. Evil men dying, and squeal worthy, cute animals. Big events; personal milestones; and sad farewells. And throughout the year, our contributors to the We Love DC Flickr pool have kept the photos coming.

Weekend Flashback: 12/16-12/18

‘(352/365)’ courtesy of kimberlyfaye Over the past few weeks, in this column, I’ve been talking about all the holidays that come around this month: Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa. But I’ve left out the most important holiday; the one that is most overlooked and whose practitioners are most oppressed. That’s right, Festivus.

Weekend Flashback: 12/09-12/11

“(344/365)” courtesy of kimberlyfaye Christmas Season is in full swing! If you haven’t done it already, you’ll be spending this coming week and weekend doing shopping, tree raising, and party planning. And after that, then all those last minute people (such as myself) will get to work; so leave some for us lazy people. And to distract you…I mean entertain you, for a little while, check out this past weekend in photos

Weekend Flashback: 12/2-12/4

‘MPD watching the perimeter while the arrests take place’ courtesy of Joe in DC One more weekend down. The inevitable march to the Holidays and the New Year goes on. I don’t know about the rest of you but I’m looking forward to the coming of the Holiday Trinity, for no other reason than to get the traditional Kwanzaa gift.

Weekend Flashback: 11/24-11/27

‘Thanksgiving Day Trot for Hunger 5K 2011′ courtesy of Mr. T in DC For a weekend that was half the week, a whole lot was accomplished. We survived the Attack of the Killer Turkeys, where it was eat or be eaten. I hope you took out as many turkeys as you could.

So the weekend may be gone, but don’t fret, there’s another one coming up. And it’s long. And it gives you a great reason to eat lots of good food and spend money. Only 3 days, DC, before you turkey trot your way to a tryptophan-induced coma. In the mean time, let’s look at [...]

Weekend Flashback: 11/11-11/13

‘Moon, Clouds, Birds’ courtesy of ep_jhu It was the short, long weekend, before the big, Turkey long weekend. And judging by the pictures, people took advantage of the extra day. And all of us at We Love DC hope you had an especially memorable 11/11/11; either by honoring our nation’s veterans, or by wearing corduroy…wait, that doesn’t make sense.

Weekend Flashback: 11/4-11/6

‘past peek’ courtesy of philliefan99 We have officially fallen back. Now it’s the long, dark road to the Winter Solstice. But along the way is turkey day, seeing old Saint Nick, and an out of nowhere day off called Veterans Day (well, not all of us get Veterans Day off). And let’s not forget that this Friday is also Nigel Tufnel Day; because it goes to eleven (11/11/11). So though we lose some light, we gain some fun things to do; it all evens out. Check out below for what people did with last light of Daylight saving time.

Well, the chill is in the air for good, it seems, though we’re still feeling it a lot more at night than during the day. But we’re not going to let that stop us from enjoying those delightful 48 hours between quittin’ time Friday till the sad moments Monday morning when we return [...]

Weekend Flashback: 10/28-10/30

‘Occupy DC: Life in the Camp’ courtesy of ‘pnzr242′ It’s the big day. A day of ghosts and ghouls. A day of thrills and chills. A day…well, a couple of months really, of candy. It’s all hallows eve!

Weekend Flashback: 10/21-10/23

‘2011 Occupy DC 6316′ courtesy of ‘tedeytan’ The theme for this weekend’s flashback seems to be occupations and liberations. Not only the obvious ones, like Occupy DC and the local Libyan populations celebrations of the liberation of their homeland

Weekend Flashback: 10/14-10/16

‘Maryland Renaissance Festival (31 of 47)’ courtesy of caroline.angelo The first good weekend of Fall is behind us. Judging by the photos in our Flickr pool, you all took advantage of the excellent weather. I always describe this time of year as one of the best times to be in Washington. Cool but not cold weather; clear skies and still plenty of light; and lots of things to do. Check out the photos below to relive a bit of the nice weekend.

Good morning, DC. We know it’s hard going back to work after a three day weekend, so grab your coffee and hold onto the glory days just a little bit longer with some shots from our great local photographers.

The last week of September is upon us. For me, this has always signaled the true end of summer. Last bout of muggy, humid weather; baseball is heading into the playoffs; the football season is in full swing; and the days are ending much too quickly. Yep, the summer [...]
