Dear DC, Please explain in what plane of existence one needs to inhabit in order for this intersection to make sense? This intersection is on IronCitySpy’s daily commute home. It’s also the home of IronCitySpy’s daily-vehicular-near-death/near-homicide. While it looks like a perfectly normal 4 way stop , look closer — only two parties are required to [...]

Fall is back in DC (also presumably everywhere else) and if my Facebook and Twitter feeds are any indication, the regional population couldn’t be happier. So I suppose you have come here to read what just about every other blog is writing about: favorite fall activities, favorite fall drinks, favorite fall fashion, etc… If this [...]

So a month ago, I was convinced that lion cubs were the cutest of cubs. Before that, I was sold on snow leopard cubs being the cutest of cubs. AND now, the Smithsonian Research Institute in Virginia has convinced me that cheetah cubs are the cutest of cubs. OBSERVE: Come ON. He fits in that [...]

So today “Living Social” is promoting a “Shootin’ & Drinkin’ Event” — right here in the District. I know what you are thinking; “oh good, alcohol and firearms are an excellent combination”. Fair enough, but it’s actually not as absurd as you may initially think. Take a look at their explanation: …learn the fundamentals of [...]

Morning reader(s). So we district residents are always inundated with the phrase “Yeah, well DC was built on a swamp.” It’s the catch-all explanation for the humidity, the mosquitoes, the sunken Nationals stadium, the big insects, the lack of snow, and the city’s general discomfort. Whether the causality is TRUE is irrelevant. We are loyal to [...]

What?? I know. Yes, these events exist and they are plentiful. AND, in what is probably a first for this blog, I am giving them to you with enough advanced notice that you can actually attend them. Yes, this blog is being useful. Do not adjust your expectations accordingly. But, without further ado, here are [...]

Good morning friends. With DCspy out spreading Western decadence in Red China, you are once again left with a far inferior post. Hopefully her cultural revolution will wrap up shortly, and she’ll be back to the emerald city soon enough. I, like most of you, can’t imagine not living in a city at this point [...]

So for god knows what reason, vehicles keep failing this week. A public bus burst into flames, a UPS truck crashed into the Hirshhorn Museum, and a car crashed through the window of Rhodeside Grill in Arlington (hopefully sparing some of their delicious chicken wings and clipping some UT fans). No, not killing the fans, [...]

Afternoon reader(s). What a day! Look outside! Doesn’t it make you want to go CAMPING??? … Maybe? … please … for Earth Day? Okay. For those of you that thought “yes!! what an idea! Wait. I have no tent, no idea where to go, god, SO tired, do I really want to spend time organizing [...]

One of my pastimes is buying hiking gear and never using it. I can’t help it. It’s just so attractive in the store. Boots that water just glides off of, a fancy pack that melds to your back, a camelbak water pouch that attaches to your backpack so you don’t need to even open a [...]
