Big news out of the Capitol on Friday, where ducklings have successfully mastered the ramp installed earlier this week at the Reflecting Pool.
See, not everything is terrible!
The Voting Rights March and Rally in front of the Capitol Reflecting Pool today was by all accounts a big success despite chilly winds and rain. We estimate between 4,000 – 5,000 supporters came out to demand a full vote for D.C. in the House of Representatives. Many more showed up too late for the rally, which was originally scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. but was shortened and started early due to the…
As you’ve no doubt heard, we’re putting on our best coats and walking shoes to fight for voting rights with a march and rally this afternoon. Several blocks will closed to traffic during the events, which kick off at 2:30 p.m. in Freedom Plaza with a march that leads to a rally at the Capitol Reflecting Pool beginning at 4:00 p.m. Between these times Pennsylvania Ave. NW from 3rd to 14th Sts. and 3rd St….

Don’t let this…

Good morning, Washington. We hope you had an enjoyable weekend – whether it was checking out the D.C. United game (they tied Chicago 0-0 and will play again next weekend), discovering the FSM in the Metro, or checking out Howard’s homecoming. Be prepared for wet weather today – today will be cloudy with rain developing later in the day and temperatures in the 50s. Hip-hop Artist Shot Over Weekend: Hip-hop artist Cameron Giles was shot…
With Capital Weather indicating that this weekend should be quite nice, with temperatures in the low 80s with partly cloudy skies, DCist encourages you to get out, enjoy the weekend and perhaps do something new.

Or near the Capitol Reflecting Pool, there’s an outdoor exhibit from Jerusalem’s Museum on the Seam that is supposed to get viewers to think about living side-by-side. Then there is always the…
