Today's riddle: What did the bartender say to the jumper cables when they walked in? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 202Creates month marks 10 years of creativity in the District (wusa9.com) — DC is celebrating the 10th anniversary of 202Creates Month, with arts, music, film, fashion, and food events happening across all eight wards throughout September. Art All Night returns Sept. 11–12, transforming neighborhoods into late-night arts destinations and highlighting local creators, small businesses, and the city's Go-Go and cultural history.
2. DC mayoral nominee Janeese Lewis George hosts listening sessions to refine policy priorities (wusa9.com) — DC residents are being invited to a series of listening sessions where mayoral nominee and Councilmember Janeese Lewis George is gathering input on housing, healthcare, childcare, transportation and economic development. Her first stop in Ward 8 drew both hopeful residents and skeptics who want to see real follow-through, as her team compiles community ideas to refine her priorities if elected.
3. DC golf course remains open despite President Trump's timeline for major overhaul (fox5dc.com) — If you play or walk at East Potomac Golf Links in DC, the long-promised Trump-backed overhaul still hasn't started, and all three courses remain open. Workers, neighbors and high school golf teams are anxious about possible closures, rising prices and lost accessibility, while a federal court hearing this week may clarify what's next for the historic public course.
4. Kennedy Center set to remove 'Blue' statue, bringing partial closures to Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway (wusa9.com) — If you drive Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway, expect major disruption this morning as a crane closes northbound lanes so the Kennedy Center can remove its "Blue" statue. While nearby park areas stay open, an arts advocacy group is condemning the removal as part of broader political interference and urging residents to get involved through their website.
