This past week brought January, that month of cookouts and picnics, beach trips and suntans, to a close. The local groundhog said winter is going to stick around for six more weeks. We’re not one to trust wildlife for our weather forecasts; then again, the groundhog knew shit was bad in New Orleans long before Michael Brown.
This week in DCist, we announced the long overdue return of Unbuckled, and we set up our own merchandising outfit.
Things are beginning to heat up in Washington’s mayoral money race.
The music staff checked out Colin Meloy and The Hold Steady, and we discussed how technology is changing the making of music.
Our commenters talked over the naming of D.C. neighborhoods and how parking ought to be enforced.
And we brought to your attention the endangered state of a District landmark.
Don’t forget to check out this week’s features in food and drink, arts, and sports.
