Well, this and that $100 million contract to watch “this”, whatever the hell this is.

Regardless the politics, it’s great to have a first lady in the White House who seems to understand, utilize, and appreciate the Washington community and its beauty.

If you’ve ever wondered how the big city to the north reported on our new city on the swamp back in the late 1800s, wait no more – here’s the original article.

From our casual research we’re guessing this was the last positive thing NYT had to say about DC.

Can you blame them? I’d do the same thing if I felt continually threatened by the town where so many of my former residents have moved.

Andrew Beaujon of City Paper kindly requested in his posting yesterday that the Omni Shoreham hotel clear the bike path that’s not so close their hotel and not their responsibility, yet close enough that it’d be looked upon kindly by the riders that take that route every day.

The gang at Omni Shoreham could have overlooked it, but that would have been the wrong approach. Instead hotel manager Paul Sharp stepped up – along with his grounds team – and got to work.

Sometimes it’s not about what you have to do, but what you can do to take care of others. And it’s great when that courtesy extends beyond people and into businesses. After all, business are just a bunch of people like you and me, making easy and hard choices that sometimes cost a little extra money and time.

Thanks for being a great citizen, Omni Shoreham. You’ll be seeing us real soon.
