• Same article says, "The city is not as safe as it once was...keep an eye out around you," Cafe 227 asks: "Adam, how old are you? 16? 17?

• Heatherssequel to be set in DC, with Christian Slater and Winona Ryder. This is totally unsubstantiated and terrifies us. [ The DC Universe ]

• Maureen Dowd smiles, shops inappropriately for her age. [ DC Chai ]
