WHEREIN: We bring you the developments (happening in and around D.C.) that we think are newsworthy, or, at the very least, almost newsworthy…
- The only thing I’m going to say about the President’s “Salute to America” 4th of July event is that tanks have been spotted in D.C. Great.
- But our 4th of July Guide is pretty sweet.
- Jack Evans was asked to sign a petition recalling Jack Evans after a D.C. Council meeting. There’s a lot of fun things in that story, but that little anecdote at the end was my favorite.
- And speaking of local politics, it’s time to pretend that people (besides Washingtonians) care about D.C. statehood.
- Food workers at the Convention Center could strike at any moment.
- RIP Scotts Restaurant. You were only open for 8 months.
- And in more food news, Brothers and Sisters gets a normcore menu update.
- After years of fighting for the right to party, Chef Geoff himself has earned Virginia bars and restaurants the right to use prices and puns to advertise their happy hours. This is not a joke. This is a real thing.
- In more state news, Maryland is withholding $55 million from Metro until they can get a look at the books.
- And a Maryland man has been banned from county public libraries and charged with assault after shoving a library board member during a Drag Queen Storytime event.
- In all my years of doing this D.C. News round up, I can’t remember the last time a headline made me gasp out loud like this. Here it is, verbatim: Judge accepts insanity plea for NJ man who killed Alexandria man he thought was a werewolf.
