- The new local news web project from Allbritton Communications has been dubbed TBD.com. “Traditional journalism says you answer the five W’s in a story: Who? What? When? Where? Why? We’ll answer them, but perhaps a couple at a time, with the rest TBD. We’ll be honest with our community about what we know and what we don’t know. We’ll tell you what questions we’re still pursuing and tell you how you can help us find the answers.”
- Rend Smith offers some scene over at City Desk from this evening’s press conference on the move to drop all charges against 14-year-old Malik Carter, whom police now believe was not involved in the Mar. 30 shooting on South Capitol Street. Officials say they in fact arrested the wrong guy. ‘Chief Lanier called Carter’s prior arrest “well justified” given the “chaotic scene” of the crime, which involved a footchase in the dark. She added that fingerprints ultimately cleared the teen in the case.’
- Via PQLiving, Poste has at last opened its big, beautiful patio for season as of today, and is throwing an Earth Day-themed party tonight to celebrate.
- The East River Heights Community blog offers an early assessment of the new Ray’s the Steaks at River East. “The wait staff was very nice and attentive. You could tell some of them were training but still good. There were approximately 25 people in there so for a Wednesday night, that’s really good. The food was good!”
