There’s a time for anything-goes amateur art, but there’s also a time for well-thought-out curation. For last week’s Fiction Issue, John Wilwol chose four D.C.-focused stories from a remarkable trove of submissions from local writers, and the […]Retweeted City Paper (@wcp):

washingtoncitypaper.comJoe Biden: D.C. "Should Be a State"The setting was different, but the message was the same. Del.

The longtime D.C. delegate to Congress was introducing Vice President Joe Biden, who attended the event […]Retweeted City Paper (@wcp):

I've now spent 26 hours total trying to set up a simple health insurance plan with @KPMemberService and @DCHealthLink.

washingtoncitypaper.comBrohibition: With McFadden’s and Rhino Bar Gone, Where Will College Kids Go?On a recent Saturday night at Georgetown’s Rhino Bar & Pumphouse, the crowd is drunk, loud, and overwhelmingly young. From my position at the far left corner of the upstairs dance floor, the scene resembles an abstract painting. Pastel polos and oxfords are the uniform of choice for the men of Rhino, and they swirl […]Retweeted Adam Smith (@asmith83):

washingtoncitypaper.comD.C. and America, Moving in Opposite DirectionsD.C. is not quite like the rest of America. There’s the lack of statehood and voting rights, of course. There’s the wild Democratic tilt, which gave Barack Obama‘s a margin of victory in the 2012 presidential race that was twice as large as in any state. There’s the strong weathering of the recession, and the wilting […]Retweeted City Paper (@wcp):

Tour of Intermediate at Stroga for the Yoga Co-op. Priced low, totally accessible. For those interested in mysore, this is a great opportunity to interface with me in a chill environment.
I'm the director of DC Ashtanga, an ashtanga yoga school (often called a mysore program). It's easy to talk about money when you've got it (and especially what it'd be like if ya didn't), but (like always) Ru gets its.
Join me at the Yoga Co-Op on Sunday at 3!
I'm pretty excited for our Tour!

Hot time, summer in the city!
12 years at 14/P, and the only people who smile and say "Hi" or "excuse me" or "no problem" are the middle class employees who work here and live elsewhere. It has not always been this way.
