DC News You Can (Maybe) Use
WHEREIN: We bring you the developments (happening in and around D.C.) that we think are newsworthy, or, at the very least, almost newsworthy:
- RIP Town (via Blade)
- The Metro is staying open until midnight on July 4th but I highly recommend you stay as far away from it as possible. It’s always packed with tourists that night and it’s always the worst. (via Post)
- We did it, guys! D.C. and Baltimore drivers are the worst drivers in the country! We won! (via WTOP)
- A man got attacked with an ax outside of the Metro because life is a slasher movie. (via Post)
- If you want to have nightmares, read this story on whether a London-esque apartment fire could happen in D.C. (via WAMU)
- Also, Megabuses keep crashing on H Street and no one knows why (PS – It’s because Megabus is the worst). (via GGW)
- White Supremacy posters have appeared in Bloomingdale because the world is a vampire. (via City Paper)
- D.C. residents can now get gender neutral drivers licenses! (via Fox5)
- And we get a brand new art venue. What a good week. (via DCMD)

Murder House Party
A Renwick Gallery Murder is Her Hobby Opening!
EARLY BIRD TICKETS ON SALE NOW!
A murdery after hours featuring exclusive access to the BRAND NEW exhibition
Murder is Her Hobby: Frances Glessner Lee and The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death!
Frances Glessner Lee crafted her exquisitely detailed miniature crime scenes to train homicide investigators to “convict the guilty, clear the innocent, and find the truth in a nutshell.” These dollhouse-sized diorama composites of true crime scenes were the equivalent of virtual reality in their time, and helped to revolutionize the emerging field of forensic science. Constructed in the 1940s and 50s, they are still used to train homicide investigators today.
Enjoy bloody good beatz from:
Barber Streisand (DJ Set)

Rick Araluce: The Final Stop
Transforming a gallery into an abandoned underground subway platform in the artist’s first large-scale installation on the East Coast. Stepping on to the platform, visitors are enveloped in the illusion of an eerie subterranean world where flickering lights and distant rumblings suggest the comings and goings of trains that never arrive.
COOL.
