After years of renovations, the Malcolm X Park will be fully accessible once again with a few new features. But the fountain is still broken.

Workers need to fix yet another pipe break.

Snowzilla Snowball Sunday Showdown, one of several organized battles that took place in the city today, went down at noon.

The Warder-Totten Mansion was built on 15th and K Streets by famed architect H.H. Richardson in 1886 in a Romanesque style.
