Good morning, D.C. It was a rather hot and humid but full weekend for most of you, if the DCist Flickr pool is any indication. Although surely, some of the rest of you must have also avoided going outside and spent the weekend watching the Redskins win, Tiny Fey nail Sarah Palin, and some pretty bad vampire acting. Or was that just us? Looks like it should cool down at least a little bit after today, thank goodness.

Union Station Movie Theater Closing: So The Union Station 9, the worn around the edges movie theater in the basement of the train station, is going to close, and Washington Post Columnist Marc Fisher seems elated by the news. That the theater was located “at the crossroads between the affluent and impoverished parts of town,” or in other words, that the crowd who went there was mixed, apparently made people uncomfortable. We’re willing to listen to arguments that the theater’s tiny screening rooms and uncomfortable seats aren’t worth saving, but in a city that’s underserved by multiplexes as it is, losing the only one that’s not in Northwest doesn’t seem like something worth celebrating to us.

Zanzibar Gets Nightclub Approval: More development angst from the WaPo, this time down on the Waterfront, where Zanzibar has won approval to become a nightclub after nearly losing its liquor license recently. Residents are, predictably, upset that their neighborhood is becoming home to most of the city’s enormous nightclubs.
