Interesting. The music didn't seem wildly out of place to me, but I don't remember it all that well. One thing I really did like about that scene, though, is that I believe it was filmed at the Blac...

In the Line of Fire has a ton of really great DC cinematography. Even Eastwood's apartment looks like a DC apartment! (points to State of Play on that front, too, though it's a much worse movie). On...

I'm not a fan of the guy, but to be fair he did win a Pulitzer. Presumably that provides a pretty substantial salary bump....

I still disagree. Last time I was in NYC Google Transit did a fine job -- but HopStop actually had a necessary transfer (the result of construction that weekend) in its route-finding database that GT...

By "tied" I simply mean that opening data in a general way should be WMATA's priority. Enabling Google's use would be great, and I think they should continue to pursue it. But WMATA is not obligated...

Not sure what you mean. WMATA is still working with Google to add their GTFS feed to Google Transit. Personally, I'd rather not see our transit agency tie itself to a single vendor. Google is big, ...

This post isn't meant as an invitation to spam people about your transit app....

Congratulations, Sommer. You've done a truly amazing thing here....

Agreed! But at least they had the good sense to do it on a slow news day....

I'm not really sure why someone should be given the benefit of the doubt after they've left the scene of an accident. They're at least guilty of breaking that law....

I've lived in the neighborhood since 2004. Sure, the convention center was already there. But I don't think you can say that this sort of event was expected. The number of high-security events at t...

I don't think it makes a ton of sense to talk abou traffic laws when the traffic patterns are completely screwed up. By all accounts this truck was moving to block the intersection. That's not normal ...

Is this really true these days? I'd actually be a bit surprised to find a higher percentage of cash transactions at bars these days than at other retail. Everyone uses plastic for everything these d...

There's nothing stopping those businesses from moving in. But you can't just pass a law mandating that a neighborhood get a bunch more cute, profitable & locally-owned boutiques, coffeeshops and books...
