September 8th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Barracks Row, Capitol Hill, Capitol Riverfront/ Near Southeast, H Street

The weather forecast for the weekend looks grim — that is, if we all don’t wash away by Friday. After a few wet days wherein my feet begin to turn to webs, I think it’s best to plug ahead, make grand plans inside and out for the weekend and pray these tropical storms just get [...]

The To Do List

April 21st, 2011 · No Comments · Capitol Hill, Eastern Market, H Street, Near Northeast/Atlas District, Stadium Armory
