When trying to write my last Looking Back post, I couldn’t find an interesting, great building to write about — so I decided to do a Looking Back post on the last 8 months or some of Looking Back posts.

I was first introduced to the garlic scape by former Washington Post food writer Kim O’Donnel back in 2006. These beauties, resembling scallions or young onions, are a cousin of these veggies, but unique and interesting on its own. Curlycued, verdant green, and pleasantly pungent — they are in season at the farmers market now.

Word came at about 8:45 this morning that Matt Hill, the G.W. campus outreach minister who had been missing since Tuesday, has been found safe and unharmed.

Good morning, Washington. Hope you’re enjoying your long weekend. For me, this will be the last time I wish you good morning, as I’m stepping down as weekend editor. You DCist commenters made it a good time, but as other things in life take priority (work is busy! hey, I’m getting hitched!) I’ve decided to stop doing this gig. You can always read me on my own blog, and you will be in capable hands with the new team. Now let’s get to the news.

Bonus is that this PBR, beer of hipsters and Rolling Thunder riders alike, manages to look artsy, if not downright pretty, in its ice bath. Enjoy a cold one this weekend, DCist readers, and happy Memorial Day weekend….

Yesterday afternoon and night saw no less than four violent incidents in the D.C. area. Two separate incidents involved youth in the Gallery Place area last night. One youth was stabbed, another injured with a cut hand in separate incidents on 7th Street NW. Missiles were also thrown at a bus in the same area. The incidents broke out around 11 p.m. last night.

Good morning, Washington and happy Memorial Day weekend. This holiday weekend looks to be full of America – Rolling Thunder motorcycles, barbecues, baseball, beaches, and …Sarah Palin? And of course, our patently hot D.C. summer days as we unofficially enter the summer season.

Pretty much everyone in D.C. knows of the Cairo apartment building in the Dupont area, on 17th and Q. The tallest residential building in the city, it was responsible for the height laws now in place.
