>> Is the Rock and Roll Hotel haunted? While John Edward (not Edwards) or a similarly qualified expert has yet to confirm it, the staff says they’ve seen and heard a few eerie things.

>> The D.C. Sports & Entertainment Commission hosts a community meeting tonight to discuss traffic and parking surrounding the new National’s ballpark. Officials from the commission, D.C. DOT, MPD and the Nats will be on hand to answer questions and respond to public concerns about the traffic nightmare coming to the stadium’s neighborhood. Southeastern University, 501 I Street, SW, 6:30-8:30 p.m. [via The New Near Southeast]

>> In between the springtime merriment of cherry blossom season, the National Park Service has managed to impose new rules on how visitors can take it all in. New “Do Not Touch” signs are up around the trees to stop root trampling, bud picking and even tree climbing. The new museum-like rules around the tidal basin are meant to protect the trees, which cost $300 to replace. Now if we could only keep those pesky birds and squirrels away too. [NBC 4]
