“Someone thought it would be either funny or a great idea to remove the sod in front of 1209 Park Road and throw it onto 1207. This is why we can’t have nice things.”

Saturday, August 4, 2018. 3527 14th Street, NW
On Thursday I asked what is this ridiculousness? seen in the photo below. It was a huge fence only facing one side and it was ridiculous. So many questions. Anyway, on Saturday I saw the current set up of a now smaller fence and totally out of proportion giant door (photo above.) Many questions remain.

The passenger, it seemed, was stone asleep, and the driver apparently unaware of the critter trying to make its escape. The truck makes its turn, disappears up the street, and the next thing I see is a white furry face peeking out from behind the wheel of a parked car — the little guy made his escape. (more…)

The Wonderland Ballroom
1101 Kenyon St NW
Time flies quickly when you spend it swimming in streams of whiskey!
The Wonderland Ballroom’s core mission of coarsening the culture and greasing DC’s gears with beer continues into its fourteenth year this Sunday. What started as the ugly duckling of 11th Street has blossomed into an even uglier, drunker duck. (more…)
