Hollow tribute

ARLINGTON, Va.— In front of my apartment building is Grace Murray Hopper Park, a pleasant county park that is great for a little recreation and a buffer between the rest of Pentagon City.
Back in late February, after six years of living behind the park in Riverhouse, I noticed above rock was not actually a [...]

The Onion 2 CityPaper 0

ARLINGTON, Va.— Last week, two newspaper boxes for The Onion appeared on my block in Pentagon City. Back in January, I blogged about The Onion’s arrival.
The Onion is not available until April 5, but it already has two more boxes on the block than the CityPaper. Even though they are different types of publications, [...]

Finally, a decent snowstorm (for a while at least)

ARLINGTON, Va. — The “light snow & sleet, turning to rain” forecasted today has turned out to be a 3½ of snow instead, our highest total of the season. I am not complaining though, if it is going to be cold out, it might as well be snowy. Erica, Fritz and I took advantage of [...]

SNOW!

ARLINGTON, Va. — I was just outside with the official WWN ruler measuring the snowfall in Pentagon City. Total as of 7:15 p.m. EST: just under 2 inches. Not a lot, but better than nothing.
Wasn’t it great watching the Bears vs. Saints game today? Snow, grass, mud, and frozen breath — real footbal. It makes [...]

Observations XV: Scenes from a Mall

Aside from cutting through the food court at Pentagon City to get to the Metro, I spend very little time in malls. I did little Christmas shopping at Tysons Corner Center last week. I was successful, but reminded that even in one of the best malls in the country still suffers from the same problems [...]

Fire next door

ARLINGTON, Va. — There was a fire around 10:15 tonight at Woo Lae Oak, a Korean restaurant that is equidistant from my apartment building and Fritz’s. I covered it over at Metroblogging DC. The fire does not appear to have been too serious. More tomorrow, I have to get back to bed.

Storm wrap-up

ARLINGTON, Va. — Well, up to a foot of snow fell in some parts of the region, but at WWN headquarters there was about five on the tops of cars and four on the grass — in other words a cataclysmic Washington snowstorm. Had we gotten what the Ombudsman got up in New York, well [...]

APRIL FOOLS

ARLINGTON, Va.— It seems like every year on April 1 my apartment complex starts filling up the swimming pool. It winds up being a cruel tease on days like Wednesday (high 80+) of course, because it will not open until Memorial Day weekend. April fools!
