A lot has changed in D.C. in the last few years. New stadiums, new development, new jobs. But also inequality, crime, corruption. Despite all the good things, some things haven’t changed since the Marion Barry days.

Overheard of the Week

A man and a woman are walking dogs in Logan Circle:

Man: “You look familiar…”
Woman: “I think we are neighbors. 1st and Bates?”
Man: “Yeah, we live on the 1st street side.”
Woman: “Ah, I live near the crackhouse on Bates.”
Man: “Can you be more specific?”
Woman: “The RED crackhouse on Bates.”

After the jump, romantic evenings, a loose definition of the world, and ball problems.

For some reason, things seem funnier when it gets warmer. Send that stuff to overheardindc (at) gmail (dot) com.
