Another strange bike ride encounter. This time at Cable’s Mill, a old grain mill built around 1747, located in the Ellanor C. Lawrence Park in Fairfax County.
I saw what looked like some naked sunbathers on the patio of the mill.
I wondered if the park had gone clothing optional.
When I got closer, I realized it was […]
Here’s the challenge - take one of the most globally successful pop band’s library of hits, and make a high-energy, campy, fun musical that makes people smile, laugh and leave feeling great.
Try it with just about any band and the expected result would be total disaster.
Nut take the music of Abba, and […]
Before the 1872, Constitution Avenue in Washington, DC was a small creek and later, it was turned into a shipping canal, as part of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal system.
The original Tiber Creek was widened during the initial construction of the Capital City between 1810 and 1815, when it was converted into part of […]
If you need a great picnic while in Washington, DC, your first stop should be Dean & Deluca, in the heart of Georgetown. It’s one of my favorite gourmet food shops in Washington, DC. And perfect for creating a memorable picnic.
Artisan breads, gourmet cheeses, high-quality produce and case after case prepared foods, desserts, and […]
Believe it or not, there’s a club called the HighPointers Club, who’s mission is to encourage people to climb to the highest point in every state in America. Additionally, the club aids in the preservation and conservation of all 50 highpoints across the nation and educating the public about preserving these landmarks.
Last year, the […]
By definition, the word ballyhoo means flamboyant or sensational advertising or promotion. Today’s infomercial might fall into that category, or perhaps anything promoted by Donald Trump.
Around the same time as the word was coined, in the late 1800s, the walls of Paris streets began to be plastered with colorful art nouveau advertising posters. […]
Now that the weather is warm (or perhaps hot), it’s time to enjoy a casual and relaxing cocktail outside, overlooking the Potomac River.
One of my favorite places to do just that in Washington, DC is Cantina Marina.
Okay, the above photo was taken in early April, on a Sunday morning, so the place looks dead, but […]
In one lab, a 60s-era rocker geneticist takes the DNA from Bob Dylan, Question Mark & The Mysterians (”96 Tears”), and The Seeds (”Pushin’ Too Hard”) and mixed it up in a test tube and lets it ferment for a while.
In a second lab across the hall, an 80’s-era mod-punk-garage band rocker geneticist does the […]
The Love Goddess, Judy Tenuta graces her loyal subjects and slaves with her silly, unique persona along with her accordion in suburban Washington, DC, for three upcoming shows.
The Aphrodite of the Accordion will, as usual, attempt to convert to her fans to her own personal faith, the religion of “Judyism”.
If you don’t know Judy, […]
Heather, who writes The New York City Traveler, uncovered another new I-95 corridor bus line, operating between Washington, DC and New York City.
While I wasn’t able to find the $1.00 fare she mentioned, I did find several one-way tickets in the $5 - $8 range.
In order to be more cost-effective in a […]
