Joan and I have spent nine happy years on Q Street. For a variety of personal reasons, we’re moving back to New Mexico, where we began our careers a few years ago – quite a few years ago, truth be told. We’ll be in Albuquerque, doing the same sort of work we do here, but … More So Long

The storm drain at that corner presumably is blocked, and has been for some time. I’ll be sending this picture to the appropriate city department. But I thought I’d share … More Q Street Pond
Some may have noticed the absence of a campaign to inform people where and when H1N1 flu shots are available. For the digitally connected, info has been readily available. The upshot, as the Washington Post reports, is that lots of unconnected people aren’t getting flu shots. For anyone who has neighbors or friends who want … More Digital H1N1 Divide

I’m assuming that everyone has read Scott’s piece, and/or heard about the meeting or was there. So I thought I’d post some thoughts and questions: What were the criteria for evaluating the proposals for … More The Fenty Session

I got off the G-2 a few minutes ago to find crime scene tape blocking off part of the 200 block of Q St. NW. A Channel 5 newsman told me that two people had been stabbed; one of them killed. The official word via the MPD listserv: Today at approximately 1430 hours the Fifth … More Crime Scene
