Thanks to Lucas for sending: “I caught this hawk hunting squirrels on shepherd street NW in Petworth! Those scared squirrels were barking up a storm!”
If you spot a hawk, any interesting wildlife or celebrity skateboarder Tony Hawk, and get a good photo please send in an email where you spotted them to [email protected]. Thanks! Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.
Friends, Washingtontonians, countrymen, lend me your ears – irony is not dead.
I come to bury Taffer’s, not to praise it.
The evil that reality tv proclaimed experts do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their draft menus;
So let it be with Taffer’s. The noble Commentariat
Hath told you Taffer’s was ambitious…
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did mock them once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him?
O judgment! thou art fled to nearby fast casual cantinas
My heart is in the coffin there at this prime retail/restaurant space,
And I must pause till someone new takes it over.
Thanks to MML for sending to us yesterday, now that I’ve had time to digest the news, without further ado:
“Learned yesterday that Taffer’s is closing. We had reservations for after the Caps game Saturday and received this email yesterday.” (more…)
Thanks to AB for sending:

From MPD:
“Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department are investigating a fatal shooting in Northwest.
On Friday, October 25, 2024, at approximately 5:47 p.m., an officer of the Fourth District was patrolling in the 3700 block of Georgia Avenue, Northwest, when they heard the sounds of gunshots.
