This is what was happening the week of July 20 in 2011.
Lost Capitol Hill smartly tried to keep cool by educating us on how the Congress used to stay cool. Have a little pity on the poor sods, they had to deal with lots of hot air without relief until 1928.
Bikeshare was still “newish” but adding scads of new rental locations, including three on the Hill.
And then, just like now, the first day of school on the horizon. And then, like now, school wait lists were a drama-ridden topic.
And a few memorable nuggets from Hill Buzz:
- Loose Lips examined why it looks as though Tommy Wells has no friends. I particularly like his comparison of local politics to The Jersey Shore.
- Did you notice the old Erol’s sign on the old Blockbuster? Quite the flashback for those of us who lived here in the 80’s! Prince of Petworth shared the history of the old video store.
- The Ward redistricting may be done, but the SMDs still needs to be worked out. The Ward 6 Redistricting Task Force Blog has a handy map to help you see the population of different blocks in each current SMD
