Good morning, Washington. Now here’s a list we’re happy the District didn’t make: Bloomberg ranks the thirty most expensive cities in the world.
Good morning, Washington. Today, several Washingtonians will participate in the Washington Post’s annual Scavenger Hunt, though it’s unclear what kind of bonus, if any, hunters will receive for grabbing a glimpse of Denzel Washington or Ryan Reynolds.
Photo by maxwellvu Good morning Washington, and Happy National Pie Day! Yes, it’s a slow news day, but anything is better than discussing, or even thinking, about the blistering cold outside. So follow the orders of the menacing American Pie Council and stuff your pie hole. >> Hundreds gathered in Towson, MD to honor Baltimore County volunteer firefighter Mark Falkanhen Saturday. Falkanhen died in a three-story apartment fire Wednesday night while searching for trapped…
Photo by Amber Wilkie Photography In case you hadn’t noticed: this weekend has been a bit of bedlam for traveling on the Metro. Lumping together the severing of the Orange/Blue lines at the Foggy Bottom station, several track disruptions and a body found on the Farragut North tracks, a relaxing three-day weekend is not the first notion to come to mind.

What about the Redskins, what catastrophic event can be equated to our teams similarly dismal 5-7 record? A train wreck into the side of FedEx Field, or perhaps the stadium falling into a crater-like sinkhole. Either way, the…
Photo by dracisk Remember, remember the fifth of December — at least for being a snow-laden day on record. The Capital Weather Gang noted earlier this week that Washingtonians have seen a snow storm in five of the past eight years. Unfortunately that record will probably fall to 5-9 tonight, as flurries are the best we can hope for in terms of precipitation. Hopefully the Redskins and their similar record can fare better today….
Photo by maria jpeg Good morning Washington. Is everyone ready to venture forth for another day of travel? Just close your eyes, bite down hard, rip quickly and get it over with. And if you’re choosing to drive back home today, that band aid is going to feel more like a gunshot to the head, as our area is notorious for bottlenecks. For those of us lucky to have gotten our gluttonous fill of…
