- Unsuck DC Metro notices a pretty bad photoshop job on a prominent Metro advertising display, and WMATA tells them they pulled the ad.
- WTOP reports another near-miss for Metro: a track safety inspector from the Tri-State Oversight Committee was almost hit by a train himself on Dec. 10. Ironic? Certainly, though it seems this particular inspector was close to 70 years-old, had tripped and fallen a number of times while out on the tracks, and was “having a tough time keeping up with the group.”

- Locals driving out of the city along New York Ave. may soon no longer be treated to electronic headlines like “Tea Party head warns GOP of Fla. repeat”: Paul Bedard reports that the shrinking newspaper is looking to abandon its massive HQ and move someplace smaller. No word on where that might be yet.
- As PoP notes, D.C. neighborhood blog progenitor Petworth News is on hiatus for the foreseeable future. Three cheers to Bill for all his contributions to the local blogosphere over the years.
- Congress Heights on the Rise and And Now, Anacostia are getting understandably pumped about the grand opening of Big Chair Coffee on Monday.
