DC’s Cherry Blossoms in Full Bloom
Here’s a few photos from this morning around the Jefferson Memorial and the National Mall. As you can see, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and spectacular!! The weather cooperated nicely today, providing clear, blue skys. But the strong winds may cause some of the blooms to be blown away prematurely, so if you want to see the trees in all their glory, it’s best to make a visit to the National Mall as soon as you can.

Government hasn’t made a decision yet, but DCPS administration offices have already decided to open on time tomorrow (classes for students had already been canceled for professional development), which means odds are excellent the District will do the same. How are you...

DCist’s highly subjective and hardly comprehensive guide to the most interesting movies playing around town in the coming week. Harold and Maude This cult classic was light years ahead of its time, a huge commercial flop and reviled by many critics at the time of its release before eventually finding its audience. In the early 70s, apparently, deft gallows humor and overt quirkiness were not...

Flickr user valkyrieh116 added this striking comparison to the DCist pool. Nicely done. From the Flickr caption : “this is my back patio. it faces a narrow alley and gets significantly less snow than out on the street, but it was the only place that wasn’t shoveled regularly.”

After being holed up in my basement apartment for five days, even the newest installment of The Real World D(upont) C(ircle) seemed like an exciting break from growing cabin fever. Unfortunately, what promised to be the most riveting inter-personal drama of the series ended up being nothing more than a tease. And yes, my growing fear of Ashley’s tantrums made it hard to sleep. If you need to...
