The case, which will be heard in March, could have a wide-reaching effect on gun laws and regulations nationwide. According to Virginia Attorney…
Last night, Fox 5 reported on an alarming attack of a gay man by six or seven men on the Metro. “Nathaniel,” as he’s referred to in the report, was riding alone on a train Friday night. As the doors closed at Metro Center, the group surrounded and beat Nathaniel, kicking him as he fell to the floor and yelling “faggot”.

Being somewhat of a history buff, I remember being bummed when I first moved to D.C. to discover the National Archives were closed for renovations. A few years later, the doors opened again, and finally seeing these amazing, centuries old documents in person is something I won’t forget. Flickr user FrogMiller took this crystal clear photo (with no flash, of course) of Mr. Hancock’s famous signature. EXIF. Entrance to the Rotunda at the The…

Written by DCist Contributor Laura Logerfo For the central cathedral in a major city, St. Matthew’s somehow blends in. The Cathedral is surrounded by offices that stand nearly as high as the church, and its brick façade resembles that of adjacent buildings.
