From the office of Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton:
“Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) said she is very pleased that the House today passed her amendment to the fiscal year 2022 Legislative Branch Appropriations bill to prohibit the U.S. Capitol Police from enforcing the prohibition on scooters at the Capitol complex. The House subsequently passed the bill. The report accompanying the bill also contains a Norton provision directing the Capitol Police not to enforce the prohibition on sledding at the Capitol complex. (more…)

Thanks to Caroline for sending. And the reviews are (mostly) top notch:
“Great food and drinks made and served by the owner/chef. Deducted one star because the proprietor mocked me mercilessly for ladling soup onto my entree (I thought it was a sauce after a few drinks).
You won’t go home hungry, sober or early.”
“I must say I’m a bit surprised at the lack of Michelin attention given some of the other restaurants on the list in the area.
Also, the soup ladling story mentioned in the four star review is NOT the full picture and leaves out some EXTREMELY important details that would change everything. Do not trust it.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
There’s been an abandoned car sitting on Virginia Ave SE between 6th and 7th street. There’s no parking along this stretch but there are three lanes of active traffic, one of which this car is blocking. It’s been there for at least two weeks. It had a ticket written right away but nothing has been done about it. (more…)
