WASHINGTON, D.C. — My 3½ year old and I visited the 2011 U.S Botanic Garden Season’s Greeting Holiday Exhibit the day before it closed. I had hoped to get their earlier, but the schedule did not work out that way and I did not get to blog about it before it closed. Nevertheless, I took [...]

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 [...]

Eddie Murphy is going to star in a HBO movie about Washington D.C.’s “mayor for life” Marion Barry. He’s not the first person I would have selected, but if Murphy wants a serious acting challenge, he just signed on for one. [...]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — One of my favorite Christmas season traditions is visiting Union Station. After many years hosting a model railroad display from the Norwegian embassy, Union Station has partnered with MTH Trains of Columbia, Md. for several new displays. From the press release:

Interstate 695 reappears in D.C. – District of DeBonis, The Post
Three years and two days ago, I posted that as part of the 11th Street Bridge reconstruction, the bridge would likely become Interstate 695. Technically, the Southeast Freeway has always been I-695, but it has never been posted. Thanks to a photograph from Adam Froehlig, [...]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — “They are just lulling you into a false sense of confidence,” I kept saying to Philadelphia Philles fans seated in the section I moved down to after an epic rain delay. Down 4-3 in the bottom of the ninth after Drew Storen allowed a run in the top of the frame, the [...]
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Back in November 2008, Les Halles on Pennsylvania Avenue NW closed after not coming to an agreement on a new lease. A recent walk by the former location revealed that the spot was still empty. Well played, Asadoorian Retail Services!
I was disappointed by the closure, because Les Halles was my favorite Pennsylvania [...]

His revised version needs to accommodate the Silver Line which is being built along the Dulles corridor as well as include the new Blue Line split. He’s nervous about updating his iconic design.
Last month, [...]
Friday night, I listened to most of the game. John Lannan pitched really well on both ends of a rain delay. He put up 7 2/3 shut out innings. Then, in the ninth, while I was getting my son ready for bed, Drew Storen’s first pitch was hit out of the park by . I [...]
