From WMATA:
“Starting this week, new decals will appear on the floor of some Metro trains, reminding customers sitting in priority seats to offer them to those in need.
Priority seating is intended for people with disabilities, people who use mobility devices, older adults, pregnant people, and others with not-always-visible disabilities. Priority seats are next to the center doors of each railcar. The seats are marked with signs above the seat, but they can be difficult to see in crowded trains or when customers are seated.
The floor decals will remind customers to look up and proactively offer the seat to fellow passengers who may need it more. (more…)

From DC’s Office of the Attorney General (OAG):
“Following DOJ Settlement, Bipartisan 27-AG Coalition Will Keep Fighting to Restore Fair Competition to Live Music Marketplace
Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb released the following statement regarding the ongoing antitrust case against Live Nation, which owns Ticketmaster, for illegally monopolizing the live entertainment industry and concert ticketing services:
“DC’s live entertainment scene is vital to our local economy and culture, and the recently announced settlement is simply not adequate,” said Attorney General Schwalb. “Live Nation has raked in billions from an illegal monopoly that stifles artists, harms venues, and makes it harder for fans to see the performers they love. We will continue fighting to hold Live Nation accountable and restore competition to the live entertainment industry.”

“Dear PoPville,
This morning at approximately 8:30 a.m., on the D94 bus near 18th Street and H Street NW, a physical altercation broke out between an adult male and an adult female. Everyone on the bus froze in shock, but fortunately a young man stepped in and was able to separate the two. I just wanted to express my gratitude to that young man for his quick instinct and courage.”
