I stumbled upon a site called Life in the district , its a site by Jason Novak, he is a writer, photographer, and web developer living in Adams Morgan.

I think the site looks very clean, sophisticated, they might have started it pretty recently so the amount of articles thats in there are less and there are some kinks that they have to work out.

Like an Archives page is missing and they have to provide better support with login and users. I created a login but was not directed to the right page and I was left no where..Maybe they are working on these bugs.. And there are articles with closed comments ?!?!

Having said all that I still see a great addition to our Dc city guide blogs.. I read Daily candy almost every week esp. their Thursday guide to the weekend.. So Litd can speed really well and try to compete with daily candy. who knows/ Jason sounds like a young guy, (correct me if I am wrong, but thats what I am guessing with your style of writing) and he can do it.
