More than 10,000 citizens participated in our Citizen Summits and our Neighborhood Action initiative. We resurfaced more than 2,000 blocks in every corner of the District….And on September 11—and during the dark months that followed—we showed the world what it means to be the capital of our nation…………..Standing here today, I see before me the face of Washington. We are a magnificent tapestry made up of many peoples. It is the community we build from that diversity that makes us strong and proud. Today, we have the chance to live up to Dr. King's great...

Bladensburg 7-Eleven becomes Kwik-E-Mart

Twentieth Century Fox has teamed with 7-Eleven to turn 11 hand-picked locations into full-blown, real-life Kwik-E-Mart’s, of the fictional Springfeld, Illinois convenience store. The Bladensburg Kwik-E-Mart not only looks like a Kwik-E-Mart, but it sells Simpson's themed products. That’s right, Buzz Cola, KrustyO’s cereal and Squishees, the slushy drink knockoff of Slurpees. Make sure to purchase a dozen pink-frosted donuts with sprinkles. They are quite tasty. The only problem I found is that I could not Duff beer anwhere. Throughout the store there are life-size Simpson characters. The Simpsons Movie is scheduled to be released July 27. 7-eleven spokespeople say they're not being paid anything by the makers of the film, but they are hoping to boost sales as a result of the transformation.

MD Training Camp

"Are you in or are you out?" That is the question Coach Ralph Friedgen asked his players before the start of this 2003 Univ. of MD football training camp. Coach Friedgen got his answer only five days after the start of camp. His 2003 MD Terrapins squad is "in". The players are focused and determined to come out on top of the ACC Conference. Currently the Terps are ranked 13th in the country by the Bowl Championship Series. With the winning experience of the upperclassmen and the addition of talented incoming freshman, the Terps are going to prove that they are "in", and hoping to make college football history.

75-80 DRAGWAY In Monrovia, Maryland

Roaring engines and smoke bellows out of two metal beasts waiting for dragway lights to drop from yellow, yellow, yellow, GREEN . . . 75-80 Dragway ran its last race on Sunday, October 30, 2005. The drag strip, tucked among pastures and cornfields near the intersection of Routes 75 and 80 in Monrovia, has been sold to create a 1,600 house development. At the 75-80 Dragway, where what comes after the decimal point means everything and a thousandth of a second can shatter hearts, 45 years seems like forever.
