We’ve now had our first 100-degree heat index and it’s not even June. Is anyone else a bit worried about what kind of summer we’re about to experience? My new running routine will need to move to the treadmill if things don’t improve out there soon! …that, and I will need to find a friend with a house in Maine and convince my day job to let me telecommute for the next three months. While I come up with ways to make that happen, here is some reading for you to catch up on while enjoying that morning cup of coffee.
- There are rumors of Wegmans and AMC Theaters being approached about coming to Near Southeast. Unlikely, but I would love to have a Wegmans so close to home! (via JDLand)
- A business trip last week prevented me from making it to the Ward 6 redistricting rally last week, but Greater Greater Washington and the City Paper were there.
- ANC Commissioner Brian Flahaven posted a recap of the Redistricting Subcommittee hearing.
- Just in time for the heat, the Capital City Diner has opened its outdoor seating area and outdoor bar. They have plans to start a midnight breakfast buffet on weekends — music to my
earsstomach (via Frozen Tropics)
Here’s one you missed on the redistricting. Bill Turque on Sharon Ambrose’s roll in keeping Elliot-Hine and Eastern in Ward 6.

Anyone have any idea what was going on in the block of the Harris Teeter yesterday (Sunday) afternoon around 5:30? The DCPD had closed off the entire block, both traffic and sidewalks, for an unknown (by me) period of time.
Ask on the MPD 1D Yahoo group. They are consistently responsive to such questions.
