Pulling up to the 7-11 for a quick Slurpee fix, I eye Dude in the Red Shirt, sitting on a milk crate as he prepares to pounce on me with some type of line once I get out of my car. One hand smoking a cigarette, the other hand grasping a cup, foot tapping to the new Junkyard I’m blasting, he seems capable of gainful employment to me. But what do I know? Not able to judge him or his circumstances, I’m still not giving him no money. I have long been turned off by panhandlers, particularly the ones that … Continue reading Panhandlers: To Give or Not to Give?

Presenting a video and tune that somehow went under the radar, this clip showcases lyrical skills of 32 as he delivers. Funny thing is… I have no idea who the hell the band playing the music is, and looking at the some of the scenery, I’m guessing the some of it was filmed at BayStreet. So… why am I posting this joint? Because regardless of who the band is, the joint Cranks like a mug and need to be pushed.

With no time to spare, the D.C. Public Library announced last week that the money needed to keep Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library open on Sundays had been found. As part of the 2012 Fiscal Year budget, which goes into effect tomorrow, cuts to the library system’s budget had forced the city’s flagship library to discontinue Sunday hours starting October 2.

The library is the only one in the District that is open … Continue reading MLK Library Now Able to Remain Open on Sundays
One City One Hire is an innovative strategy that will encourage Washington metropolitan area employers to commit to hire at least one unemployed District resident.

The initiative is being launched with support from the D.C. Chamber of Commerce, and is modeled after Atlanta’s highly successful Hire One Atlanta jobs program which achieved nearly 13,000 new hires within six months of its launch.
