The bill shows a ridiculous amount container fee and the food came in containers you can see (more…)
Thanks to Stacy Beck for sharing these incredible photos: “I also spotted a bald eagle in Rock Creek Park this week (on Halloween morning) and later that day saw a long-eared owl in my neighbor’s tree in Chevy Chase DC.”

I was admiring this little new (to me) park in Mount Pleasant (kids playground is above) and giving the leaves changing I’ve got parks on my mind – so besides the magnificent gem of Rock Creek Park – what are your other favorite parks in DC? In can be anything from a pocket park or smaller like the Spanish Steps, larger like the Franciscan Monastery grounds, or quite large like the Arboretum or anything in between. What are some of your favorites? Also wondering about your favorite parks a short drive to get too?
