Soooooo. We threw a little concert last night. And it was, to put in the simplest terms, teh awesome. But you know. Maybe a little toooooo awesome. Woke up late with a pounding headache kind of awesome. Ahem. Here’s your half-assed roundup.
From the WaPo: Hey, didja know it was still cold and icy and miserable out there? Oh OK, you did. Well then, how about the fact that five District schools have tested positive for dangerous levels of lead in their drinking water? Ah ha!
From the Examiner: Um, it’s still cold and icy and miserable and schools are mostly still closed. OK, not our best work. Wait, wait. Bribery! A corrupt Former D.C. Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs Engineer! Charges filed! Oh my!
From WTOP: What helpful information. First, avoid Wisconsin Ave. NW. A detour is set up at 34th Street and Idaho Avenue due to a fatal accident last night which is still being investigated. Next, the WTOP intern tells us ladies we can get free heart screenings today at the Verizon Center. We salute you on your byline, WTOP intern!
From NBC4: WMATA has ordered mandatory safety training for all Metrobus drivers in the wake of Wednesday’s fatal accident, which killed two pedestrians in Penn Quarter.
Other than that, it’s a pretty slow news day in addition to it being an official DCist Hangover Day. So we’ll check back in with the headlines after we get just a little more sleep. Thank you for your kind attention.
