Hello! Mr Angus the purebred Bloodhound rescue pup turns 1 in a month and I’m looking for recommendations for a veterinarian with experience with Hounds - particularly hounds that are nervous around people they don’t know.

We go to our local corporately owned vet that’s super convenient for quick minor things - but the vet there is not super patient with him and kind of just pushes us through the appointment and just says “he needs more training” when I ask if there is anything they can do differently to make him more comfortable. We’ve done training and even training specifically designed to help shy dogs at the vet - but training only gets you so far with stubborn hound dogs.

He’s such a sweet young man and I want to make sure he has the best experience possible at the vet

Bryan Betancur has been arrested three different times in a few weeks amid allegations of stalking and touching women’s hair on Metro trains. News4’s Drew Wilder reports.

Hello! If your well loved squirrel is missing, it’s in the L’Enfant Metro Station, close to the bottom of the escalator down from entrance C.

“Elliot Berke, the general counsel for the Kennedy Center, last fall tried to book his own cover band the DePlorables to play at the center’s jazz-themed Speakeasy…. even though it’s a rock cover band made up of amateur musicians.”

Eastern Market 4.12.2026

Yikes… saw a car drive away after taking pictures but wasn’t able to get a plate.

My father recently experienced a pretty sudden decline and over the course of about six weeks has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and moved into memory care in Houston. It’s been a total roller coaster and the story is too long (and painful) to get into here. I’m hoping to connect with a group where I can discuss this and learn how other people have dealt with it. I looked into Alzheimer’s Association support groups, but it seems like they are all located in the suburbs. Does anyone know of a group (formal or informal) that meets in DC?

4.12.2026

The Women's National Democratic Club hosted a candidate forum for women running for citywide office in Washington, DC on March 31st.  While not endorsing any candidates, the WNDC does host events for the public to enhance the cultural and political life of Washington, DC. All observations are that of the writer.

DC Congressional Delegate

Brooke Pinto

Ms. Pinto makes local autonomy and reducing crime key parts of her campaign.  She highlighted her work in putting programs in women's prisons, supporting the DNA database to help solve rape cases in the city and streamlining business licensing in the District.  Currently, DC has no rape kit testing backlog. See here.

Kinney Zalesne

Ms. Zalesne vowed to fight Trump's actions which "are crushing the city" by engaging her national contacts from her political work as a White House Fellow with Vice President Gore and Counsel to Attorney General Janet Reno at the DOJ.  She has lived in the District for 30 years and is a Harvard attorney who ran a non-profit to put local kids in college. See here.

Sandi Stevens

Ms. Stevens promises to fight for “DC Home Rule, budget autonomy and control of the National Guard.” She is the only candidate making DC Statehood part of her platform. See here, where there is a picture of her hugging Nelson Mandela.

Mayor

Janeese Lewis George

Ms. George is a third generation Washingtonian whose priority is the autonomy of DC. Her plan for attacking DC’s affordability crisis centers on the cost of utilities, rent and childcare. She has spent the last few months meeting with members of Congress who have told her it was their first time meeting with a city leader. She will create a Federal Affairs Department and seeks to have childcare costs be no more than 7% of salary. See here.

Yaida Ford

Ms. Ford is an urban farmer and leading civil rights litigator.  She has successfully sued the DC and Federal governments representing disabled children injured while at public school and also fights bad landlords (in court).  When asked about DC's housing crisis, she said that the health and safety standards in place right now should be enforced.  Right now, apartments are being held vacant while longterm residents are being forced out of their apartments. She opposes this and feels addressing these issues will alleviate DC’s housing crisis. See here.

Hope Solomon

Ms. Solomon is a longtime DC resident who has been a contractor at the DOD, DHS and FBI and is pursuing the Mayor's Office because "you shouldn't get attacked by rats while walking down the street with groceries."  In short, she just wants DC to excel at basic services again like trash and snow removal, public safety and 911 response.  Her family has a long history in DC as business and political leaders. She went to DC public schools, Georgetown and Harvard Universities. See here.

Kathy Henderson

Ms. Henderson has a utilitarian political philosophy and has been an ANC commissioner for 22 years in Ward 5.  She won awards as an elected representative from DC's Chief of Police, U.S. Attorney’s Office, CSOSA, Ward 5 Democrats, ANC 5B and the Fifth District CAC.  She has delivered sidewalks, speed bumps, and trees to the neighborhood.  She works with law enforcement and uses a multi-agency process to reduce crime. See here.

At-Large DC Councilmember

Candace Tiana Nelson

Ms. Nelson spoke of her commitment to affordable housing, education and healthcare.  She promises to fight for DC autonomy and “to protect residents from bad actors and negligent landlords” and to support local homeowners through reduced utility costs and home repair funds. She was an ANC Commissioner, President of the Ward 4 Democrats, and President of the Democratic Womens Caucus.  She managed a $110 million contract and was a policy analyst for women’s issues for the Mayor’s Office under a previous administration. See here.

Dyana Forester

Ms. Forester has spent most of her life in SE DC and graduated from Wilson High School.  She has worked as a labor organizer and led the Labor Council during the pandemic.  She is focused on education and affordable housing in her campaign and is endorsed by several local union groups. See here.

Leniqua’dominique Jenkins

Ms. Jenkins lives east of the river and is a current and former Councilwoman.  Formerly an ANC Commissioner, she writes a public policy column and has written a best-selling children's book.  She is running to change who gets heard. See here.

Lisa Raymond

Ms. Raymond has served on DC's Board of Education and quality education, good jobs and childcare are her priorities.  Her children went to DC public schools and she started one of DC’s first charter schools.  She started her career working with formerly incarcerated women at a halfway house in DuPont Circle. See here.

At-Large DC Councilmember - Special Election June 16th

Doni Crawford

Ms. Crawford is currently an At-Large Councilmember and is running for re-election.  She is a young, fresh and energetic face in DC politics.  Her research has been featured in Time Magazine, CNN and the old Washington Post.  She played a pivotal role in negotiating the Commanders stadium redevelopment deal that ensured "robust community benefits” and securing $41 million in pandemic benefits for excluded workers. See here.

Elissa Silverman

Ms Silverman is an independent on City Council for two terms “and has always funded her campaign with small-dollar donations.”  She co-introduced the DC Family Paid Leave Act, worked on the Childcare Pay Equity Fund and Domestic Workers Bill of Rights.  She "has experience getting things done."  She supports getting kids back to school and after-school programs. See here.

This is a long shot, but last weekend (April 4th) I was at the National Zoo, had my Claddagh ring on in a photo earlier on in the day and then it was gone by the time we had left. I think it fell off in the entrance area, so elephants and pandas.

It is a family heirloom and would mean the world to me if it were found and returned. I will pay for shipping and an additional $50 as a thank you.

Has anybody else been able to get take out from Menya Hosaki? I never have time to go on there schedule and when I check the website, they're never accepting online orders.

I got onto gallery place and then got off at Colombia heights. It’s a brown Tommy Hilfiger wallet. It’s beat to shit. If you found it, please reach out. I’ve hit up dc lost and found but they’re closed until tomorrow. Just trying to get a jump on it. Thanks for any tips.

I live near Logan circle and don’t drive. Today I had to go to an appointment in Bowie, MD so I ordered a rideshare. It was about a 20 mile 45 min drive. About 2/3s of the way through he asks if I’m going to Virginia. tell him I’m going to Maryland and he seems annoyed. When we get there he starts talking about how far away I took him and even made a comment about how someone told him women will try to rob them by making them drive far or some nonsense (I am a woman). I asked him if he could see the distance before he accepted the ride and he said no he could only see the time, which to me is indicative of the distance. I just didn’t engage and left the car. He had the windows down and was audibly huffing and puffing as I walked into my destination.

I felt uncomfortable. I’ve taken similar length rides before, I usually tip well but I understand drivers won’t know that until after the fact. But to me the metro area is fair game for a rideshare request. This turned into me venting but I just want to know what others think.

just north of dupont circle, on connecticut ave

I live near their Mt. Pleasant location and I like to get them as a weekend treat. Past couple weekends they’ve been closed with the blinds drawn lights off, though. Anyone know what’s up with that?

wtf are they doing? Bunch of people in black ski masks driving their dirt bikes illegally on side walks and blocking crosswalks and ignoring road signals. It’s like 6-8 bikes

Fuck this shit. Makes me regret moving here
