Last week two D.C. restaurants announced that they were scrapping late-night hours. That's OK—D.C. isn't a 24-hour type of town, at least not yet. more ›

Icy treats! Picnic blankets! Rock! DCist's frantic refreshing of the 2010 Fort Reno website finally paid off!

D.C. Public Schools released its snow make up calendar late on Friday, and while it could be worse, District students are indeed facing a dreaded lengthened school year after losing four-and-a-half days of instruction due to February's historic snowfall. more ›

So, the Federal Government has decided that tomorrow is a work day, albeit with a 2-hour delay. The D.C. Government hasn't made a decision yet, but DCPS administration offices have already decided to open on time tomorrow (classes for students had already been canceled for professional development), which means odds are excellent the District will do the same. How are you going to get to work tomorrow? more ›

One day into to the official relaunch of WMATA's Next Bus service, and we've heard a lot positive feedback from bus riders about the usefulness of the system. But some problems with the real-time Metrobus arrival tool are already apparent. more ›

Metro is relaunching Next Bus on Wednesday, July 1. The service originally debuted about two years ago, but WMATA wasn't happy with its accuracy, which it said was only about 80 percent, so they shut down the pilot program in October 2007. After spending almost two years making upgrades, Next Bus is back, and we want to hear from bus riders as they try out the improved real-time Metrobus locating system. more ›

On paper, the Redskins’ 2009 schedule looks a lot like their record last season: average. The ‘Skins get three primetime games in 2009, all at home: Week 7 and Week 15 against the Eagles and Giants on Monday Night Football, and Week 16 against Dallas on Sunday Night Football (after playing Philadelphia in Week 15). more ›

Veterans Day is Tuesday, which means federal workers have the day off and transit schedules will be different. WMATA says that Metro will be operating on a modified Saturday schedule tomorrow; that means the system will open at the regular 5 a.m. time, but peak travel times will operate on a non-peak basis. In other words, budget a little extra time on your way in to work tomorrow, since there will be fewer trains running than normal. Other changes for Tuesday include that off-peak fares will be in effect all day and parking at all Metro lots will be free. Metrobus and MetroAccess will operate on a normal, non-holiday schedule. more ›
