Thanks to Mitchell for passing on the Change.org petition:
“The National Park Service plans to close the upper lawn at Malcolm X (Meridian Hill) Park from March through early September. This space is one of DC’s most important community gathering areas.
We support restoring the park—but closing the entire lawn for the entire warm season removes a vital public space. (more…)

From a press release:
“This summer, Itiyah, at an intimate 20-seats, will open in Washington, D.C. as one of the city’s only restaurants focused exclusively on Haitian fine dining.
Situated in Shaw, Itiyah pays homage to Haiti’s ancestral roots through a multi-course tasting menu driven by the seasons.
Chef Sebastien Salomon’s culinary ethos is rooted in early memories of his grandmother’s kitchen, where dishes were passed down through observation and memory rather than written recipes. A private chef for foreign leaders and prominent families in Haiti, his grandmother shaped Salomon’s understanding of food’s emotional core, propelling him to bring their homeland’s cuisine to new audiences.
Distinct Afro-Taíno influences that unify the Haitian people are woven throughout the multi-course tasting menu, from the symbolic use of corn native to Taíno cuisine to thoughtful reinterpretations of breadfruit, a once-marginalized staple of survival now reclaimed and transformed into elegant purées, composed desserts, and ice creams.

“Dear PoPville,
4 gunshots in Navy Yard. Apparently an earlier fight at one of the bars among the drunk patrons. I’ve seen 2 sitting down passed out young people. I saw at the same time several young women trying to fight more (it was stopped by respective friends). Just a messy St, Patrick’s weekend night in a lot of ways. Tons of police were on scene quickly.”
From MPD: “MPD officers quickly apprehended a juvenile after the discharge of a firearm around 9:45 p.m. Saturday near First and M Street, SE. A firearm was recovered. No injuries occurred.”
