Taking Philly shelter dogs on field trips wrecked me, and I can’t recommend it enough

I didn’t know what the future held for these dogs but I knew my colleagues and I were going to give them the best day we could through ACCT's Pupventures program.

Girard Avenue’s antique trolleys have been missing from the streets. Here’s when they’ll ride again.

The restored historic street cars have not been running since early May because of a sinkhole next to the tracks on Girard Avenue.

When your name is Oil Can Boyd, you better believe pretty soon you’re gonna require a sweet pair of shades, neck towel, and an embroidered jacket with “Oil Can Boyd” on it.

The end of East Potomac Park as we know it. The Trump deal to take over Hains Point will create new, better golf course - but end 3-4 miles of riverfront land for running, biking, grilling, chilling. Best cobyline possible: @JoeHeim @RickMaese washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/…

Those who love this D.C. park fear Trump’s golf proposal will push them out

A high-end course that the president’s top fundraiser has proposed for East Potomac Park could sharply limit access for birding, fishing and cycling.

I used to get nagged nonstop by my husband for buying two robot vacuums. Now he’s gone and turned them straight into tanks 🙂

'Miniature Wife' seems like it will be another disturbing sign of American devolution. But at least it's not 'reality' TV.

A truck loaded with thousands of copies of Roget's Thesaurus spilled its load leaving New York. Witnesses were stunned, startled, aghast, stupefied, confused, shocked, rattled, paralyzed, dazed, bewildered, surprised, dumbfounded, flabbergasted, confounded, astonished, and numbed.
