Rantworthy

Ah, rush hour. There are only two things in the world I hate more than rush hour. One of them being spiders and the other being that notification you get on your iPhone saying you haven’t backed up your iCloud in like 345 weeks. Like sending me an irritating notification …

If you work on Capitol Hill you see, hear, and overhear many things that the rest of the mortal world isn’t privy to. These privileged professionals that serve our US government acquire a wealth of knowledge that sometimes is just too good not to share. We’ve provided a platform on …

Whether we’re traveling home or to another loved one’s house, everyone will be traveling in some way, shape, or form this holiday season. However, as rewarding as being around loved ones for the holidays can be, traveling comes with a few not-so-festive perks all of its own. From overbooked flights …

Here in the District, like many other cities, we have our own set of unspoken rules. Among them, there is one that extends to the common courtesy we should all exercise while using the D.C. metro. The only way in and out of the underground transit system are by escalators. As such, we …

The epicenter of power in Washington, D.C. isn’t on Capitol Hill or in sprawling K Street offices. It’s not even in DC. It’s in some trendy dot-com lounge in California where a tanned hipster in thick-rimmed glasses decides which snaps are worthy of the DC Snapchat Story. That kind of …

As a Washingtonian commuter, the DC Metro and I have been in a long term relationship that spans from my morning ride into work to my 1:30am stumble off U Street on Saturday night. First thing is first, what is the deal with the 15 to 20 minute train waits …

The Famous DC team loves us some Uber. Our team uses Uber multiple times a day every day. Uber in the morning, Uber in the evenin’, Uber at suppertime! Due to the fact that we fancy ourselves the ultimate DC Uber supporters, we feel entitled to rant about something: those …

“The maintenance backlog for DC’s public spaces administered by the National Park Service has gotten so lengthy, it would cost $1.195 billion to bring everything up to date.
