WHEREIN: We bring you the developments (happening in and around DC) that we think are newsworthy, or, at the very least, almost newsworthy.

- Civil Rights figure Julian Bond was honored last night at a memorial service at The Lincoln Theatre (via Washington Post).

- Spotted on U Street: Kush God, an out-of-car-edible-selling service (via DCist).
