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 [...]
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The second snowfall of 2012 is another small one and it came with ice. We have just about an inch of snow here in the West End.
Beautiful powder starting falling here around 10 p.m. last night. Sadly, by this morning, it was covered in a icy glaze. There is currently no [...]
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Yesterday’s snowfall was surprisingly measurable. I took several readings with the same method I always use (a yard stick in one hand, camera in the other) and all came in over 1½ inches. I grabbed this photo (sorry for the blurry) as the median of the readings. Let’s go with 1.75 inches, [...]

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 [...]
How much rain has there been this week?
If my memory serves, that is US 29/50 Fairfax Boulevard (nee Lee Highway) just east of University Drive.

Now, I don’t think that quite reaches the level of a Darwin Award; I certainly would not do it, but I’m amused someone else did.
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 Washington Metropolitan Transit Authority has hired Lance Wyman to update the Metro map he created over 30 years ago. 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, [...]
