I visited all of DC's boundary stones over the course of a 9.5 hour minivan ride. I wrote about the journey -- and the history of DC's oldest federal monuments. npr.org/2024/07/04/nx-…

This is supposedly a triangle park on my DC park map. I think when they built I-695 some little parks were collateral damage, but they still appear on some maps.

Virginia Ave. today, next to the freeway. You can still see the Washington Monument in the distance and get a sense for the pre-freeway design of the city street grid.

Digging into the question of swimming in DC's Yards Park Canal Basin... The website of the Capitol River Front BID (which maintains / operates the park) features numerous prominent images of people in the water. The park rules section of the site has other ideas.

I’m glad to see so many people mocking this story. As a frequent bus rider I’d love to be interviewed about how dangerous and annoying it is when the bus stop is blocked by a car, so the bus has to unload in the traffic lane. One entitled driver vs dozens of transit riders.

I had a fun experience recently: met up with this crew from NBC, doing a story about my quest to visit all 697 of DC’s parks. Anyway the story is on ⁦NBC Nightly News with Tom Llamas⁩ today!

Kinda tempted to steal a few of these commemorative White House traffic cones.

Not thrilled to see the return of the plywood in downtown DC.
