DC Blogs Noted



If you have ever wondered why
Bartholdi Garden on Independence Avenue is stunningly beautiful, the blogger at DC Master Gardener News will fill you in. This writer talked with staff and volunteers for this report. There’s information about how to volunteer and the benefits of doing so.

No need for a spoiler warning.
You already know how this film ends: Who Killed the Electric Car? Stef at The View from 16th Street gives it a thumbs up, and writes: You won't necessarily feel uplifted as you leave -- walking out, I turned to Onyah and said "How do we get around the fact that everything a company or our government tells us is a lie?" -- but you might just feel angry enough to do something about it.

The Catch Up Lady takes a clever look at the fashion taste of The Axis of Evil, in a post titled:
Being evil never looked so good.

Dupont Circle’s conversion into an upscale and yet-another-useless chain shopping venue is killing businesses that offer essential services. A lament at Random Duck. Richard Layman also wrote about this topic in January for the Intowner.

New blog look at
I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Wino. Well done.

Happy Birthday Week at DC Pussycat Doll.
