Gingerbread House Throwdown is on – The Jefferson in Arlington


Photo by PoPville flickr user AlGrabow

Earlier today a reader shared his great gingerbread house and asked – Wonder if any of your readers have something more exquisite than this?

This one is a pretty good contender:

“This unbelievable elaborate gingerbread house was designed for residents of Sunrise Senior Living’s The Jefferson in Arlington. Each year, the Jefferson creates these amazing DC themed gingerbread feasts.”

Easy to Overlook Awesomeness Vol. 81: GPO Lights

I don’t like them as much as the awesome lights from the Cleveland Park bridge. But they’re still pretty sweet. Anyone know if they work? The building is at North Capitol and H St, NW.

I swear I’m not a morbid guy – Rock Creek Church cemetery simply has so much to see (as others have noted) especially in autumn.

Man Stuck in Storm Drain on 1200 block of 6th St, NW Sun. Morning – Update: Also Man Struck and Killed by Car in Alley at 1800 6th St, NW


View Larger Map

@IAFF36 tweets around 7:40am Sun. Morning:

“Confined Space Rescue – 1200 6th St NW – one person stuck in storm drain

*UPDATE – 1200 6th St NW – patient has been extricated from storm drain, EMS evaluating”

Still waiting to hear on how the guy got into the storm drain.


Alley of 1800 block of 6th St, NW

And in what appears to be a completely separate incident, a reader sends in the photo above from the Alley behind Shaw’s Tavern.

Update

MPD tells me that an adult Latino male was struck by a car and dragged. The body was found in an alley at 1800 6th St, NW. The victim has not been identified yet. This is being investigated by MPD’s major crash unit.

Are You Going to get a Flu Shot?

These flu shot signs are starting to pop up all over the city at CVS, Rite Aid, Safeway and pretty much everywhere that has a pharmacy so I’m just curious – how many people are going to get a flu shot and for those that get one will you use your doctor or just go to a pharmacy?
