The Legal Cliche first alerted us around 9:30am: “Big police presence with guns drawn.”
Update from a reader 10:35am: “I live nearby, saw them bring out two teenagers/young adults just now. Looks like they may have been in the red house because earlier they had them come to the front window on the top floor and put their hands up.

Rest of the cops are leaving now. It was quite the scene over the past hour.” (more…)

As late December has come and gone and many, many folks have inquired what’s up with the Streets Market coming to the former Metro K space. The folks from Streets Market tell me they are now on track for: “a late Jan / early Feb opening. Almost done on the inside.”
We should have a firmer date in the next couple of weeks. STAY TUNED.
hahaha this one is great. A bit of a different tact from this one. Thanks to Will for sending from Georgetown.
The DC Chamber Musicians close out the 25-26 season with popular works by Brahms and Dohnanyi, and three selections of newer works that are sure to delight. All set in the lovely St. Thomas’ Parish Episcopal Church in the Dupont Circle neighborhood.
