- There was a pretty bad vehicle collision at Pennsylvania Avenue and Alabama Avenue SE this afternoon, which caused the intersection to be shut down. Avoid the area for the next couple of hours at least.
- Don’t plan on using the UMd. library in College Park this evening: a suspicious package investigation caused the place to be evacuated.
- New Columbia Heights is reassured that the annual Columbia Heights Day event is not being re-branded “CoHi Day,” despite the recent appearance of T-shirts bearing the shortened logo. The shirts are now for sale for $10, too.
- Nice to see that those long-empty retail kiosks outside the Gallery Place mall are finally being used. Penn Quarter Living reports that a Smoothie King recently opened in one of them.
- Prince of Petworth shows his readers where Julia Child once lived here in Washington.
- The excellent Silver Spring Penguin updates on the construction progress of the new Silver Spring civic building on Fenton Street at Ellsworth Drive, along with its adjacent plaza, which is a bit behind schedule.
