Photo by FlipMode79Good morning, Washington. Howard University refuses to relegate homecoming to a single weekend’s football game. Instead, the historically black university boasts a multi-day bash that’s said to be unrivaled in the Mid-Atlantic. The 87th annual cultural celebration kicked off last week, and this morning is the university’s spirited homecoming parade, which will wind Howardites and friends along a half mile route beginning at 1400 Sixth Street and ending at the “Valley” in the middle of campus. The event kicked off at 9:30 am, so go grab a spot along Georgia Avenue near Banneker High School for a good view of the procession. (The Washington Post takes a look at the business of Howard’s homecoming.)
>> The Solar Decathlon isn’t just for show. A low-income family of four is moving into one of the 19 homes designed and built during this year’s competition.
>> Gruesome images in newspapers have historically been taboo. Social media has made them less controversial.
>> Peaceaholics co-founder Ron Moten is running for the Ward 7 D.C. Council seat. And not just as a Republican — as a “Civil Rights” Republican. The qualifier is even on his voter registration card.
>> Broken escalators at the busy Bethesda Metro stop are a major problem. So is the timeline for replacing them: Work isn’t slated to start until 2014. The Montgomery County Council’s transportation committee is holding a special meeting Tuesday, which could include discussion of accelerating the work timeline and installing a second entrance in anticipation of setbacks with the installment of the new escalators.
>> Loose Lips got word that the DDOT employee who was engaging in sexual activity in her office at the Reeves Center has been put on administrative leave with pay, along with the male employee involved and the DDOT employee’s husband (a DCRA employee who improperly dug through his wife’s office and email account). The male employee will be fired following two weeks leave. It’s unclear what will happen to the DDOT employee and her husband.
>> “It is a myth that the Reeves Center sparked the revitalization of U Street. It is an urban brutalist monster that sucks the life off of the street. Many of the retail businesses in the Reeves Center have failed–most leaving lease debts in the hundreds of thousands of dollars–debts that the District government had to eat.”
>> The Washington Examiner reports that poor oversight within two D.C. agencies resulted in a security company being paid $23 million more in taxpayer dollars without having to compete for the money. Hawk One Security, no longer in business, was said to be habitually ineffective in their work, which is why the city didn’t renew their contract with the company after 2009.
>> Virginia Congressman Eric Cantor was set to speak at the Wharton Business School Friday, but backed out when he was told the university would welcome Occupy Wall Street protestors into the audience.
>> Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will visit Virginia next week, and Governor Bob McDonnell will join him at an event Wednesday at the Fairfax County Republican Committee headquarters. McDonnell said he will wait until after the Nov. 8 statehouse elections before deciding who, if anyone, to endorse.

>> Colbert King refreshes our memory on the details of a handful of Sulaimon Brown’s attacks on former-Mayor Adrian Fenty during last year’s mayoral race — a not-so-subtle reminder that if Gray had been using Brown to publicly attack Fenty, he essentially tricked (some of) us into giving him our votes.
