DC Blogs Noted:
I’m Sorry, Who are You Again?
Hey Pretty
The new date seems perfect. Cute and charming, opens doors, pays for dinner, is a decent kisser, and then it all changes. Excerpt:
Suddenly you're ceremonially deleting his number from your phone while at lunch with your girlfriends and actively seeking out rebound hookups
Pride Has ChangedMore Than My Luggage
Observations about Pride, including the political invasion. Excerpt:
Also Noted:The parade was interesting, but not as "affirming" as I somehow remembered it to be. There were a surprising number of politicians in the parade.
The title and fire of Rock Creek Rambler’s post, The Nanny State, is worth the $50 ticket (perhaps not to RCR) that led to it. His post has been featured on DCist and WaPo’s Express. RCR believes police have better things to do than to ticket those caught sans seatbelt. Check out DC Crime Maps. Those little red things that fill the map are crime incident reports, and if seatbelt enforcement helps reduce the crime rate then it may have some justification. But if that isn’t the case, then take a trip though this excellent NE neighborhood blog, stop, blog and roll for its round up of garden tours and homicides. The seatbelt enforcement campaign follows last year’s jaywalking enforcement campaign.

Chili dogs with the works for $1.50, burgers under $4 and frosty mug drafts at less than $3, writes WFY in an appreciative report about the Vienna Inn. At Washington Metblogs. But what makes the place is atmosphere. The cushions in the booths have needed to be restuffed since at least the Reagan administration and don't count on your fries and dogs coming out the same time.
Vietnamese Pho that’s as good as what this writer was served in San Jose is available on 6th by the MCI, writes Zutroy at this is by us. Another writer on this group blog, AmaZingGold, goes to La Tascas and makes reservations in advance at opentable.com

Reston loses a minor charm: the small white-on-navy blue street name signs. The very bland white-on-green and “blaringly large” white-on-blue signs are the new standards. Photos illustrate the change at Pedantic Nuthatch.

awww...thanks. you're so sweet for mentioning my lil ol' blog.
Thanks, KOB. I learn things the hard way so that others don't have to (hopefully).
Thanks for the mention! Though I swear there's so much more to NE than garden tours and homicides - we've just had a whirlwind week or two, and the info's not always easy for folks to find. Good things are happening (beyond the Brookland House & Garden Tour), and I'll continue to post on those, too :)
Thanks for the shout-out, Pat! We'll have to have brunch again soon....
As a cabbie, when ever I get a fare going in to NE, I take a couple of seconds off to go back to my trunk and wear my bullet proof vest and the tin helmet.
Nice post OC and true. Hey Pretty, if it wasn't for failed relationships the number of blog posts would decline by 65.7% (scientific studies, I think). Jamie, of course there's more to NE than garden tours and homicides ... Dennis, for sure; dctaxistories, look forward to reading them.
