This post in the Washington City Paper hit particularly close to home: This morning, little did I know, a cop was stationed at the corner of 18th Street and Columbia Road NW searching for jaywalkers. A man was standing beside me as I waited to cross the street. He jumped the light by one, maybe two seconds. Luckily, I was in a pre-coffee haze and didn’t do this myself. The cop called him back, and as I was getting my coffee at Starbucks and looking through the window at the scene, it... Read Full Story

Hotel companies are developing more attractive—and profitable—airport properties to cater to the business traveler. For a long time, airport hotels were considered a necessary evil. Most travelers wouldn't choose to stay at one unless they had an early-morning connection, missed their flight, or their company was too cheap to pay for a pricier downtown hotel. And, because these hotels were regarded as purely functional, second-choice options by both travelers and hotel companies, there wasn... Read Full Story

Moody provide a tour but, if you can figure it out (naturally, you're not average because none of my readers are), try to make it happen. I took the obligatory seventh grade tour of Washington as part of my
junior high marching band (little known... Read Full Story
