Overlooked: The Best Missed Connections of the Week

By Claudia Bahar

Every Friday, for some fun reading, we bring you the area’s best Missed Connections on Craigslist.

This week, we’ll start out with a two Craigslisters who will not let the cool fall weather stop them from enjoying some cold, sweet treats with a side of romance. And we’ll end with a couple of long-winded fellows, one of which is severely punctuation- and grammar-challenged.

I saw you in Mr. Yogato. It has been so long since we last saw each other. I know,we have become different people...but it must have been fate that our paths have crossed once again.

And yes...I like my women how I like my yogurt...tangy.

Please tell me, what qualities make a woman “tangy”?

The Morning Buzz

Good morning, Washington! Here's what we're reading around the web this AM.

Enjoying this warm fall weather we've had the past couple of days? It should continue through the weekend, with highs in the mid 70s and plenty of sunshine. 

Since it'll be so beautiful, why not go pick some pumpkins—then bring 'em back, carve 'em up, and send your best carving efforts into our pumpkin photo slideshow

Continuing to make us even more grateful we have a job in this market is this sad headline in the Washington Biz Journal: Study: Job seekers outnumber openings almost 3 to 1

A series of robberies in Maryland seem to have been targeting Asians

Besides the continuing economic issues, another sign that everything is seemingly spinning out of control: immaculate conception in sharks.  

Washingtoniana: What's Under Dupont Circle?

By Jesseka Kadylak

In this week’s edition of Washingtoniana—our Thursday feature where we collect your questions about Washington and do some sleuthing to find the answers—we find out what the deal is with what’s below Dupont Circle.

What the Dupont Underground could look like in the future.

Alejandro Salinas asks: “What is Dupont Underground? Where is the entrance located? What’s the story behind it?”

The National Capital Trolley Museum staff and the Web helped us unravel the mystery of the Underground, while members of the Arts Coalition for Dupont Underground discussed its possible reincarnation with us. Read on for the scintillating answers!

Dupont Underground is an abandoned streetcar/trolley terminal and tunnel, which is located underneath Dupont Circle but above the Metrorail tracks. Several boarded-up entrances can be seen around the circle, including spots near PNC Bank and Krispy Kreme.

Washingtonian Favorites: James Kotecki

By Alejandro Salinas

Every Thursday, we bring you interviews with noteworthy Washingtonians. This week, we chatted with James Kotecki, Politico.com video blogger (and second funniest celebrity in Washington).

Back in January of last year, James Kotecki was a senior at Georgetown University majoring in international security studies, who would post web videos critiquing the 2008 presidential campaign candidates in his spare time. Today, Kotecki is still doing just that—except now, he’s doing it professionally, as writer, producer and host of KoteckiTV, an online video series for the Politico.

Kotecki’s video blogs are witty, slightly cynical and sprinkled with pop culture references—not to mention the occasional musical performance from Kotecki himself, who raps and plays the guitar. Can you say triple threat? We spoke with Kotecki about Sarah Palin, which political party knows how to, well, party, and who’d make the ideal John Mccain impersonator.
