We are back for another epic week of everything great here in the DMV. Culture is at its best in all elements. Let’s dive in, shall we?
In politics, it looks like Maryland and Virginia’s officials have both bid to have the FBI headquarters in their respective states. The White House Easter Egg Roll opened its lottery yesterday. Sign up now for your chance to win tickets! Having the kids on the White House lawn is a big deal here.
Lastly, communities have rallied ahead of the Senate’s vote on D.C. Criminal Code, and let’s just say Capitol Hill meant business. Take a look now on BridgeTV.
In general news, a D.C. woman is searching for her missing wedding dress stolen from her car. Unfortunately, no details have been given at this moment.
Have you been to restaurants lately, seen gratuity plus a service charge, and could you care less for neither? The D.C. Attorney General warned the restaurant industry against misleading service fees, meaning restaurants should explain their service charges before diners decide to eat at their establishment.
Get this, the former head of the D.C. 911 Office is suing Mayor Bowser. She’s alleging that she was retaliated against after speaking up about many failures in the agency.
Let’s get down to sports. The University of Maryland Women’s Basketball team secured the #2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, while the Men’s Basketball team secured the #8 seed. In hockey, Rasmus Sandin is now the only player in Capitals history to have three or more multi-point games in the first four games with the team. The DMVs own Rico Nasty and NBA All-star Lebron James snapped a picture for Instagram!
In bad news, Coach Juan Dixon has been fired from Coppin State University as the Men’s Head Basketball Coach.
Entertainment is now here, guys. The DMV’s own Alex Vaughn is providing us the soundtrack for the Spring with the release of her “Homegirl” album pack out today. It features Summer Walker, Muni Long, and another DMV great, Ari Lennox.
Erykah Badu links up with Brent Faiyez. Take a look now on BridgeTV. Our Southeast queen Taraji P. Henson does the unthinkable as she talks in space. Meanwhile, Tokyo Toni continues to unleash her rage!
Let’s end things off with what’s happening around town. Pharrell Williams with a message for Virginia. The Something in the Water Festival is coming! It looks like the cherry blossoms will arrive early this year. Predictions have been suggested as early as March 22nd
