Ray Sullivan (5/30/50 - 1/24/69) Scott Griswold (12/23/47 - 1/24/69) They were my closest friends at the time. Never forgotten.

THE HITS KEEP ON COMING: U.S. Park Police drove an apparent stroke victim to the hospital this evening after waiting about 20 minutes for medics to arrive just one block from the White House. EMS was delayed because DC911/@OUC_DC sent @DCFireEMS to two bad locations in the wrong quadrant of the city. While this was going on, US Park Police told DC911 that the patient’s “condition was deteriorating”. Listen to the radio traffic below 🔽🔽. US Park Police were at 17th Street and Constitution Avenue NW near the Lockkeeper’s House in the shadow of the Washington Monument, just south of the White House. Fire and EMS were first sent to 15th and Constitution NE, followed by 17th and Constitution NE. It took about 18 minutes before DC911 corrected the problem. OUC only learned of the mistake after US Park Police called on the radio, wondering where the medics were. About the same time, a fire officer who was sent to the wrong location noticed in the notes entered by DC911 that the correct location was by the Lockkeeper's House, a landmark provided to 911 by US Park Police. It should have been a big clue to call-takers and dispatchers that they entered the wrong quadrant. By the time OUC dispatched the correct fire and EMS units to the correct location, a US Park Police officer decided to drive the patient to the hospital. What does it say to visitors when a premier tourist city like the nation's capital continually shows that its 911 center can’t promptly send help to some of the best-known locations, not just in DC, but around the world? What does it say about the mayor and DC Council that DC911 constantly makes these mistakes, not just in tourist areas, but all over the city, with zero accountability? When will someone #FixDC911? @CMRobertWhiteDC @AnitaBondsDC @Janeese4DC @CMZParker5 @CHendersonBauer @charlesallen @ChmnMendelson @BrianneKNadeau @MatthewFrumin @CMWendellFelder @DoniCrawford @CMBrookePinto @kenyanmcduffie @tweetelissa @RiniSampath @goodweather4dc @cuneytdil @EmmaUber7 @TheArtist_MBS @oigdc @kpattdc @dclinenews @tomsherwood @NFTC_News @RamirezReports @SegravesNBC4 @ANCCostello @johnson4b06 @ANCJonah @MayorBowser @SafeDC @theHillisHome @PoPville @abeaujon @SchreiberSara @CapitalJeff @Brightwoodian @AlexKomaDC @maustermuhle

When using an apostrophe to indicate a decade, it goes in front to replace the missing digits: the class of ’26, which means the same as the class of 2026. There's no apostrophe before the s in a construction like the '20s.

It looks like the newly renovated Freedom Plaza is getting even more new statues. The one on horseback was planned, but there are now a dozen more statues lining the northern and southern edges of the plaza.

It’s giving tacky. (For those unfamiliar, none of these statues were in Freedom Plaza before the “renovation.”)

This has been DDOT's practice under the current admin. They go out of their way to ignore ANCs & residents. I have several dangerous intersections in my SMD they've refused to fix for years; decades in a few cases. This must not continue after January.

Tnx @CMWendellFelder once again, I appreciate you for taking seriously how @ANC7B_DC was DISRESPECTED tonight. I was so offended with how @DDOTDC showed up to TELL US not CONSULT US on adding TWO EXTRA LANES to Penn Ave SE.

“It’s not just biking to school, but it’s also all of the things that cycling can offer our young people." A teacher at a Northwest D.C. high school launched a “bike bus” to incentivize kids to show up on time. wtop.com/dc/2026/05/dc-…

@PoPville Dupont was off yesterday, day after ribbon cutting for its restoration. Anyone know if it's off today?

D.C. budget woes: It's looking more likely that some 8,000 families will fully lose TANF benefits over the next two years. The D.C. Council hasn't been able to reverse a $44 million cut to the program; it phases people off benefits if they have gotten them for 5 years.
