ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Over the years, I have wondered out loud why the Washington Nationals marketing has been so bad. They have done a poor job putting their brand out there, I’m not saying the Nats need have co-branded sponsorships for EVERYTHING or that they need “The Toyota Scoreboard brought to you by Honda” like [...]

I can only vaguely remember the Air Florida 90 crash into the 14th Street Bridge thirty years ago today (The Post). Mostly, I remember looking when we’d go over the bridge I’d ask where the plane crashed. A derailment of a Metro [...]

Every once in a while, I have recalled there being a ski resort somewhere off of Interstate 66 about 20 years ago. I never went there, but was curious if my memory was accurate. Recently, I was able to get the right search terms together and came up with this from DCSki.com: Mid-Atlantic Lost Ski [...]
ARLINGTON, Va. — A lane from the Fairfax Drive ramp at EXIT 67 is being extended along Interstate 66 westbound all the way to EXIT 69, Sycamore Street. This “spot improvement” (Virginia Department of Transportation) is less ambitious than I had hoped for and I am curious if it will provide much relief after it [...]

Metro gets to work on ‘transition’ map – The Post
A preliminary new design of the Metro map has been released. The map’s creator, Lance Wyman, has suggested that the new Dulles Corridor line be colored “cherry blossom” (pink) for some reason.
Metro is soliciting feedback about the redesign which has some improvements in station naming and [...]
TYSONS CORNER, Va. — Every Washingtonian has an earthquake story, here is mine.
I was at my desk in my Tysons office building when everything started shaking. At first, it was mild and I even got off a tweet “earthquake?” before it started intensifying. At that point, I decided that maybe I ought to get under [...]
…you are doing it wrong.

The grassroots/social media effort to save Norm’s Beer & Wine has paid off. The landlord of Danor Plaza, Norm’s longtime home, had offered a lease to Fresh Market that included a non-compete clause. Norm’s would have had to leave when its [...]
