As long as they don't just plop down a big box store with massive parking lots, and make adaptations to their standard model, like Target did in Columbia Heights. The thing is, Walmart could bring a ...

Edgy. I've never heard of an adjective generally reserved for clothing lines also be used for crime. I also like the way she subtly makes fun of CVS's deodorant section, as if the people that shop t...

In all seriousness, what about Robinson-Jones-Moore Park? These are the last names of three young men who have been gunned down near or on the 1300 block of Columbia Rd. this year. They may not have...

Downtown Rez, What I mean is that why is a hypothetical fourth grader from last year gaining 10 points, and this year's is only gaining 6? Doesn't that indicate a loss from one year to the next, eve...

Wow, Henry, you just discounted a whole group of intelligent people. Bad apples in every bunch, and unfortunately, they come to represent the whole group. Sure there are those who throw rocks, but a...

I walked right into it I guess just after the shots were fired. Lots of people from the CHV and beyond were panicked and confused... I can't believe that three cops were right in the area and still ...

Great news! I get them on my cell phone... what?! I thought cell phones were impervious to telemarketers. Guess not. Anyways, one of the interesting things about getting the calls to a cell phone ...
