There should be a law!
All I’m saying is that it should be illegal for the Five Guys at Columbia Heights to close at 11pm. Kyle and I got off the train, fresh from movies and drinking. There were plenty of Nats and DC United...
in DC: awkward for partners who are not similar in height
And I thought the posters for Crotch Rot were weird. I don’t get this one at all. I know there’s a real Interstate 69, but do we have something local going by the same name? Maybe this is just a...

We’re fine. We’re all fine here now, thank you… How are you?
Thank you very much train conductor of train 4045 for overshooting the U St. station platform and instead of announcing anything, just sealing the doors of the first car and continuing on as if nothing happened. I’m not sure what’s...
