From I.M.P.:
“Night after night, The Anthem fills The Wharf with fresh beats, having hosted nearly 3 million fans since it opened in 2017. But for its latest release, The Anthem and its kitchen partners at Eco Caters are bringing something new: fresh frites! Eco Caters serves both artists backstage and fans at concessions at The Anthem, and, starting today, artists, fans, friends, and passersby alike are in for some good eats with the all-new Frites and Greet stand, located just across the walkway from The Anthem, by District Pier.
Serving fresh, hand-cut, European-style frites (like French fries, but better!), the potatoes at this stand have been double-fried to ensure maximum flavor with just the right ratio of crispiness. Each order comes with one free housemade dipping sauce with uniquely musical takes on classics, like Mean Mr. Mustard, Smoke On The Water, or Ranch Against The Machine. With seven different sauces* to choose from, it’s okay to get lost in the sauce, as each additional flavor is only 75 cents. The final piece of the puzzle? Pair the frites with one of three different housemade sparkling lemonades (strawberry, mango, or blackberry) to stay refreshed despite the sweltering summer sun. (more…)

The DC Police Union (“D.C. Police Union represents the 3,000 officers, detectives and sergeants of the District of Columbia’s Metropolitan Police Department.”) wrote:
“Over the weekend, DC Council Chairman Phil Mendelson called the police because there were peaceful protesters at his house. Because he decimated the police department with horrible legislation and our staffing now has 800+ vacancies, there was a delay in responding to his home.
Because of the delay, @ChmnMendelson called and screamed at the OUC and MPD staff. There is now a PERMANENT security detail at his home staffed by an MPD officer who should be handling more important matters.
We currently have 3,100 total sworn members, the lowest in 50 years, and we now have to dedicate one of them to be a security blanket for a man who hates cops, while other people calling 911 for real emergencies will have to wait. This nonsense must end immediately.”
A resident, Meg Krause, replied:
“It’s entirely unhelpful to spread inaccurate information about incidents like this. Highly doubt the Chairman called and screamed, especially having witnessed how kind he was to the officers that showed up after the protesters left. A few other lies in your story. (more…)
