Washington, D.C. - heat epicenter - highest heat index in US (last two hours on weather.com maps)

Big change! DC's Metro subway now allows passengers to carry bottled water in hot weather. Metro has banned all food or beverages until now.

I'd like one day of nice weather. Is that too much to ask? #DC

the one day of the year i decide to wear my hair straight it's drizzly and DC humidity is out in full force #blackgirlproblems

My clock radio at 6AM. "Good morning. It is 78 in nation's capital with relative humidity at 99%."

After seeing the Men's Health magazine spread, I'm leaving cell phones around DC, hoping #Schock finds them as well: http://politi.co/pPDih0

Guy in Dupont Circle offering "money back guarantee!" if his ice cold water isn't

Just had a crab cake sandwich from Tackle Box in Cleveland Park. Yummm

Ex Central chef heading to Adams Morgan. Hooray!

I allowed myself to be a true American tourist today, walked around the DC monuments, first time since 5th grade. Loved it.

Im excited about the new mlk monument in washington

Vienna: most romantic metro stn in the system according to Craigslist’s “Missed Connections” section

The longer I live in DC, the more insane it makes me when TV shows have cars passing the lincoln on the way from ward 8 to the Mall.
