Frozen Tropics
Neighborhood blogs are a good way to learn about the city. Unfortunately, the list of neighborhood blogs is short. But there are, nonetheless
, excellent neighborhood blogs in DC, and Frozen Tropics is one. It’s about the neighborhood known as Trinidad -- a tiny neighborhood located north of Capitol Hill (or in Capitol Hill according some realtors). Actually, it's next to Galludet. If you look at a map Trinidad looks like someone took it and just twisted the entire neighborhood a bit. The streets don't exactly match up with the streets outside the neighborhood. Trinidad is a tiny almost square patch that was originally a rich man's country estate. Its author often uses photos to tell the story of neighborhood concerns, both large and small, as in this recent post.New Spin on Spinsters

Here’s a list of wedding do's and don'ts. Inspired by a recent Connecticut wedding. With photos. Two from this list:
Do not take a shower while the wedding is still in progress, or even worse, answer the door in a towel. Even if the estate has twelve bathrooms, you are playing Russian roulette. Never know who will come a knocking.
Do not let your intoxicated friend attempt to find the car; one just may end up disheveled and in an abandoned soccer field two miles away.

…Cyclists have suffered from a virtual dictatorship of cars on America's roadways for the better part of the last 50 years, and we're the ones deserving of your hatred? Please. We're forced to the fringes of America's transportation network, given slivers of road to navigate on (which are then take over by double-parked cars anyhow), pitted against tons and tons of steel and horsepower driven by people too lazy to rely on public transportation themselves…
Also Noted:
New blog named DC Pussycat Doll, who introduces herself this way: I’m just a squirrel trying to get a nut in this wasteland of exploding manhole covers and abominable Ann Taylor suits ... otherwise known as the DC Metro area. Some of her initial postings are about dancing, the Jumbo Slice and attempted relationships. From one post: … and I spotted a guy to dance with who was superfun until.... he leans over and says, "You're cute...real cute. But I bet you already know that." OK, seriously WTF? All I did was smile and dance with the guy and he thinks I'm stuck on myself.
Dangling Conversation reports that this was her last Monday in DC. Moving. She writes: The last week was one of the best of my life, as far as friends and fun. I'm going to miss everybody so much. I am going to miss this city but it will always be here.
Tourist report: A couple from northern California traveling around the country visit the National Mall and marvel at its grandeur and human diversity. For good or bad, I’m not often prone to having feelings of pride in my country, but this is one place that always makes me feel it strongly – from Bridging the Chasm, Matt and Karen’s Journey through America.
DC Theatre Reviews is a new site that will have news and reviews about the DC Metro theater scene. It announced itself July 4th and it’s by Walter Ruff and Delinda Frazier. The site will provide professional reviews of DC theatre and direct links to the reviews written by other local critics. In addition the website will provide listings of all new productions …. Although it’s using a blog format, the site isn’t accepting comments from visitors just yet, but its publisher said they plan to open up parts of it after it gets going.
