Biked other day up to Silver Spring, the across to Hyattsville on Sligo Creek Trail, and back down to DC on the Anacostia River Trail.
Though slow, Sligo Creek, particularly around Silver Spring and Takoma Park, was pretty awesomely scenic, tons of bridges. No idea where I was
Don’t think I’ve been here, the Jefferson Memorial (vs Tidal Basin), in at least 10 years, probably longer.
It’s quite awesome on a day like this.
Outside my coverage area but I needed to eat dinner the other day so checked out the newest location of The Commodore on a sorta tucked away Old Town Alexandria block.
Huge space (old Myron Mixon’s), had a great fish sandwich.
Very close to the water taxi. Will do well

Media previewed Bumblebirds, opening next Monday (this Sat 11a-1p giveaways to first 100 in line) in former Good Stuff Eatery space.
