Man, this tax case scandal just keeps going on, and on, and on...

Did you go to the Obama rally last night at Nissan Pavilion, a.k.a the ninth circle of hell? Was the traffic as bad as predicted? Let us know.

It's Thursday, and that means one thing: it's time for our weekend guide. Here it is, and boy, is it chock full of stuff. Take our word for it.

So, uh, that was some crazy storm yesterday, wasn't it? How were you affected by it? Power out? Attacked by hail? See a tornado?

We don't want to say "police state," but that term seems unavoidable when talking about Police Chief Lanier's plan for sectioning off certain areas of the city. Police would set up check points, and demand to see the IDs of people entering the areas—and if you don't live, work, or have a "good" reason for being there, you will be denied entrance.

The Reluctant Groomzilla, our guy guest wedding blogger, meets the queen of cakes. You know she's famous because she made a cameo on Gossip Girl once!

Sex and the City—and the Best Drinks to Have Beforehand
In celebration of the release of the Sex and the City movie, we’ve put together a list of favorite spots to break out the swizzle sticks and sip that are (relatively) near area movie theaters showing the film. Put on your favorite dress, gather the girls, grab a drink at one of these places, and then take in the movie.

Make sure you avoid the Woodrow Wilson bridge this weekend. Starting tonight, several ramps will close as crews work on paving and striping connections from the highway to the bridge's new span.

Is Maryland responsible for the worst drivers in the region? Yes, according to D.C. Council member Jim Graham. He tells WJLA, "[Maryland drivers] have got to be the devil incarnate once they get behind the wheel." What do you think? We've seen our share of awful Maryland drivers, but Washingtonians are pretty terrible too.

We may not be the best behind the wheel, but, hey, we're fit: According to a list of the fittest American metropolitan regions released by the American College of Sports Medicine, D.C. is the fourth most physically in shape city in the country. Take that, New York!

Washigtonian's lucky winner.

Congratulations to Andrew Radcliffe of Arlington, winner of two first-class airline tickets to fly anywhere in the Continental United States—the prize for one lucky reader  who voted for the Best & Worst of Washington poll on Washingtonian.com.  Radcliffe is a software engineer who works in Tysons Corner and loves running and golf.

The results of the poll will be published in the July issue of The Washingtonian.  And you won't want to miss the Best of Washington party on July 8 at the National Building Museum. For more information and tickets to our party, click here.

Looks like the finger-crossing worked after all: Fort Reno Park has reopened after new tests revealed arsenic levels in the soil to be within safety limits...

...But maybe not: The City Paper reports that "one of the test readings revealed high amounts of lead" in the northwest area of the park.

Sex and the City's tagline may read "get carried away," but we've been feeling more swept away than carried by the film's media onslaught. This past weekend, the Post's Robin Givhan profiled Patricia Field, and today both Ann Hornaday and Monica Hesse have bylines about the movie. Hesse's piece profiles a group of fans who—holy Jimmy Choo knockoffs!—gathered for drinks at a Maggiano's before catching an early screening of the film. Seriously, girls? You can't celebrate Sex and the City by getting drinks at a family-style restaurant. That's, like, against the rules of feminism or something. To prevent similar tragedies from occurring this weekend, we've compiled a list of bars and spots where you can grab a drink in style, just the way God Manolo intended.
