I’ve been waiting all month for the calendar to near October 1, the self-imposed date that determines I’m allowed to eat as much candy corn as I want. Halloween is just around the corner, people! But what to do in the meantime besides raid the Halloween candy display at Harris Teeter? Read on. Voting begins [...]

The days are indeed getting shorter, the neighborhood squirrels are mad with nut harvesting and there are leaves all over my yard. But damn, these temperatures just aren’t taking the hint. The weekend doesn’t look like it’s going to cool off too much, but as promised, the list of weekend events keeps growing as the [...]

Given the number of people at last year’s H Street Festival, I’m expecting to see you all there on Saturday from noon to 7pm. There will be art cars and artists, Chinese dragon dances and speed chess, contests for tattoos and pie eating. Plus music and performances on stages at 8th, 10th, 14th and on [...]

Growing up in New Jersey I spent the better part of my summers down the shore–though many a grammarian would prefer I say “at the beach.” Memorial Day meant more time on the boat and at the beach, while Labor Day represented the end of everything good and wonderful about summer. However, Labor Day also [...]

So, this weekend may be your last chance for fun in the sun before the Labor Day long weekend, or it may be a soggy windy mess if Hurricane Irene decides to pay us a visit. Either way, you’ll probably have some free time and want to spend it indoors. Take advantage of your neighborhood [...]

I have to confess: I’m only doing the To Do List this week because none of our other writers volunteered to take it and I realized late last night that it wasn’t done. In fairness, it’s kind of a daunting task, trying to figure out what’s going on in our little neighborhood and suggest things [...]

Is it really August already? I can remember being little and feeling like summer stretched on forever and I loved it. Why doesn’t that happen anymore? Here are some options to fill what are hopefully the lazy days of an August summer. In a bit of shameless self promotion, my tomatoes, peppers and basil are [...]

The weather seems downright balmy right now since last week’s insane heat wave seems to have broken. Perhaps this weekend we won’t need to seek refuge inside refrigerated rooms. In fact it would be a great time to cheer on the home team as they face the Mets. They may be from New York but Met [...]

It looks as though the weather has decided to give us a break and bless us with tolerable weather. My hair for one is thankful for the decrease in humidity, which means I can tame my mane for what looks to be a fabulous weekend. This weekend the Atlas Performing Arts Center will be hosting [...]
