From the Watergate Museum (2542 Virginia Ave, NW):
“The Watergate Museum Corporation is pleased to announce that it recently opened a “pop-up” portrait gallery of the individuals associated with the Watergate scandal.

“Dear PoPville,
This morning in Adams Morgan I saw a woman sitting in the bus stop with a walker slide to the ground seemingly unconscious and twitching. None of the people waiting for the bus had any Narcan and so my friend and I went into Medstar Urgent Care, just feet away, to see if they had any on hand or could help assess the situation. The women behind the desk didn’t get up and said that they didn’t have any Narcan and there was nothing they could do other than call 911.

Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is a time for commemorating our ancestors. Rather than a period of mourning, it is an occasion for celebrating with family—both living and dead—and honoring the cycle of life. Learn about La Catrina and her joyful view of life and mortality. Enjoy family-friendly activities throughout the day, including dance performances, coloring activities, and paper marigold and mask making. Visitors are invited to leave photos and mementos of their loved ones on the ofrenda (altar) or commemorate them by writing their names on a butterfly to attach to the memorial arch.
