Meet the 4 newest, possibly ugliest, D.C. taxi cab designs http://is.gd/CmmZCZ  (@wcp)

Which do you prefer: Jurrasic Park or Ambulance? > "DC Unveils new Taxi Cab color schemes" (@JoshuaFrankel)

I Need To Move To Baltimore n Find Me A Boyfriend Cause I Haven't Found One In DC (@EgoSentric)

On a shuttle bus at BWI Airport Baltimore and there is not one actor from The Wire on board. Trip a total disaster so far. (@KristerJohnson)

A $13 corned beef sandwich on Conn Avenue? Four bucks for cole-slaw? Three bucks for a can of Dr. Brown's cream soda? Puhleeaaaaze. (@paulschwartzman)
