Morning DC. Looks like we’re in for another beautiful fall day – pretty perfect for ye old Tweed Ride, which will roll through DC this afternoon. If you want to join in donning your Sunday best, there’s still time to register.

>> The New York Times published an editorial, strangely about a very local DC issue, slamming the council’s consideration of turning away homeless families that cannot prove they’re DC residents. Tommy Wells, Ward 6 councilmember, has been a pretty vocal proponent of this for the main reason that DC cannot afford to take in other state’s homeless. The New York Times argues that “Poverty, hunger and homelessness know no borders” – which no one can deny, but I’d like to see them find the money in the budget. After the editorial published, Wells took to his Twitter feed to defend his position and ended up holding a pretty open conversation about his thoughts.

>> In not surprising news, the Washington Post reports that the better teachers in DC public schools are not evenly spread throughout the city: the best teachers are in the richest wards. 22 percent of the top-performing teachers are in Ward 3 in Northwest, conversely just 5 percent of the top performers work in Ward 8 in Southeast.

>> New Columbia Heights reports that the IHOP in the DCUSA complex in Columbia Heights will have its soft open November 16, and open officially a week later on November 23 (just in time for Thanksgiving!) And yes, friends, it will be open 24 hours.

>> The InTowner has a fascinating post about the history of Rochambeau Apartment in the Farragut area. The luxury apartment building, which once housed some of the best known Washingtonians, was summarily converted into an office building in 1935.
