I love DC RSAN. There’s a huge sense of urgency to the messages they send out (for obvious reasons) and that generally trumps any kind of copy editing. Case in point: Subject: Police Activated. Police activity in the area of 6th and Maryland Avenue SW, Independence Avenue is closed from 7th Street to 4th Street [...]

Metro to do random bag searches (for real this time)
Remember a while back when WMATA said that everyone’s bags and whatever they were bringing into metro stations was subject to search? Well, they’re doing it again…or perhaps, actually doing it for the first time – or so they say. Two years ago, Metro announced that it was going to start random bag searches, but [...]

And now, for your epic weekly disaster…
Today marks the first day of what can only be referred to as “reverse Snowmageddon”. Rather than fleeing the city in a panic back out to the suburbs, commuters from Maryland and Virginia flooded into the city, especially clogging roads like 495-N and I-66 E.

On the Subject of Snow
For an area that is typically unequipped and not accustomed to a substantial (subjective term, in this case, I know) amount of snowfall, we seem to be getting a lot of it.
