Traffic alert: Stay away from Verizon Center. There's been a water main break on 7th Street, NW. Is it just us, or does it seem like there's a water main break in the city every other day lately? We need some investigative reporting on this front.

Bush found his two terms in office instead marked by a series of cataclysmic events: the attacks on September 11, 2001; the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; the devastation wrought by Hurricane Katrina; and a financial crisis during his last months in office."
A new sushi spot, Sei, has opened in Penn Quarter.
