Next time you visit D.C.’s World War II Memorial, find wartime graffiti etched in two places. Near the backside of the PA pillar is one “Kilroy Was Here” & the other opposite of it. U.S. soldiers carved it all over Europe & Asia as a sign of comfort & lightheartedness.

UNIQUE BOOK EVENT: @JoeHimali , Cynthia Schiavetto Staliunas, and I will be at @eastcitybooks 6/3 to briefly talk about the book, answer D.C. trivia, and go on a scavenger hunt around Eastern Market. RSVP for free here: withfriends.co/event/28188339….

Now that #Survivor50 is over, where does it rank?

@Meagan_Flynn Congrats to all of you, Meagan!

Happy DC natives day to all who celebrate but especially the newest, tiniest one! Introducing our bundle of joy, Micah Thomas Selk, named in honor of my dad Tom, who lived by Micah 6:8. I’ll be taking some time away from the D.C. beat to be with him.

@_FromTheIsland Amazing! He’s one of my friends in D.C. bestie. I recognize him from her IG. Rooting for him!

@BarredinDC Detroit? 🙃

Guess the city

@chefilicios @eat_dc I used to go here often back in 2012-2013. You could always find a seat and their wifi always worked.

In my 5 years living in Navy Yard, I have never seen anyone come in or out of this cafe. Dark windows, no outdoor sitting, no chalkboard sign. It’s giving what Pho Junkies gave: a front. But at least Pho Junkies had delicious pho. Anyone? 👀 @eat_dc @FriendsFamilyDC

My wife says this only encourages more scammers, but it’s still a fun game. 🙃

@mattadler81 I love this ice cream!

Guys! As I said I would, I got some freeze-dried ice cream!!

NEW: After visiting every neighborhood in D.C. with his young daughter, @AustinKGraff rounded up her favorite spots in a new book. Here are 10 places the pair says your family should visit: 51st.news/things-to-do-w…

@amg_teach That’s so exciting! Can’t wait to see where you explore. Most local bookstores should have it, but you can call and ask. If not, they can order it. I do know that Solid State & East City Bookshop have it. Politics & Prose is getting it this week!

@AustinKGraff I loved following your posts with Addy during the pandemic. I’m excited to see how those memories have evolved into your book! And extra excited now that I have my own daughter to venture about the city with! Do you know some of our local bookstores that are carrying your book?

My book is out! Based on my daughter & I exploring every D.C. neighborhood, the book is the collection of Addy’s favorite places. My hope is that this book inspires curiosity & exploration of all parts of the city. Here’s more info: bit.ly/DCKidsBook.

@HomaBashNews So fun to chat this morning! Here’s to us all exploring the city.

we LOVE finding new things to do and see all around DC with our kids - so excited to check off 111 places with @AustinKGraff new book, inspired by and written with his then-4yo daughter as they explored DC during the pandemic. new book out now 👇🏾

@chefilicios @dearwhitestaff @capitoljill @washingtonian @jsidman Jill and her baking are a treasure!

DC’s hottest bakery is a home bakery. Finally got my hands on Capitol Jill Baking’s baked goods! Got a dill pickle biscuit, mango lassi donut, Swedish cardamom bun, & rhubarb earl grey cake! @capitoljill was also featured in @washingtonian latest piece on dc-area bakers. @jsidman
