A few months ago I wrote about Split, a new DC-based ride-sharing service where you can hitch rides with others going in the same area.

Good thing it’s an Autobot and not a Decepticon. It’s nice to know that if the bad guys attack, 13th Street will have…

Colony Club, the cool coffee shop and bar at 3118 Georgia Avenue NW, is celebrating the opening of their rear patio next Friday. They’ll have the Timber Pizza food truck, drink specialist, a DJ and a balloon artist — a little something for everybody. (The before version of the patio is below, plus some interior…
