The Clean Water Network’s Earth Day Celebration
It’s hard to imagine what DC would look like if the city were not surrounded by water. There would be no sparking views of the Potomac from monuments, no canals to walk along in Georgetown, no falls to dip your toes in on the Billy Goat Trail and no hope of continued restoration and revitalization along the Anacostia.
So come celebrate the natural resource that makes our city so enjoyable with the Clean Water Network at the coalition’s Earth Day Celebration. The event, which will also commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Clean Water Act, one of our nation’s landmark environmental laws, will take place on Sunday, April 22 from 3:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. at 1st and Potomac Avenue, SE.
Bikes and Booze – Living Life in the Fast Lane
Next month, the Crystal City Business Improvement District is bringing gears and beers to Arlington with its inaugural Crystal City Diamond Derby.
On March 10, the parking garage at 18th and Crystal Drive will transform into an urban cycling arena, complete with a lounge (including an open bar and a big screen displaying the on-course action), spectator viewing areas, street art, live music and of course, cycling courses.
Super Bowl, Super Good Times
Get ready for kick off – The 2012 Super Bowl is this Sunday, February 5th, and we’ve got you covered for the best places to sit back and watch the New England Patriots face off with the New York Giants!
While sitting on my over-stuffed comfy couch with a six-pack of cheap beer and a bag of chips sounds like a great Super Bowl Sunday to me, I can’t help but realize that I do that for EVERY Super Bowl. This year, try spicing it up a bit, and check out one of these fun D.C. events, all themed around the biggest game of the year!
