The Washington Post City Guide finally posted a review of Lavar Arrington’s Sideline Sports Bar on Friday (3/21) — editor’s pick. The reporter covered the play-by-play from the menu to the dress code to the “airport-style search” at the door. I have to co-sign on the crab cake review.
BTW - Has anyone checked out Game Fridays with DJ Trini or Seductive Saturdays at The Sideline yet? Any reports back on the scene? Feel free to comment here. Also, read the many comments about Sideline from readers like you. Keep them coming!

Last week, Keith A. Washington (former county Prince George’s County corporal and former former Prince George’s County homeland security official) was convicted for involutary manslaughter in the shootings of two Marlo deliverymen in his home last January. The latest news is that correctional officers found a universal handcuff key in Washinton’s shirt pocket a few days after the conviction. I guess he was planning on trying to escape?! Can you imagine? What is this Prison Break? lol (I have to give credit to State’s Attorney Glenn F. Ivey for that gem.)
This whole story from the shooting to now is just crazy. The words “above the law” come to mind…I guess only in Washington’s mind. Check the full story at “Ex-Official, Jailed in Md., Found With Handcuff Key” (Washington Post, 03/05/2008).

My heart goes out to the friends and family of those killed in the tragic accident on Saturday morning. This must be a nightmare for the driver of the Crown Victoria who hit the crowd and for those affected by the resulting deaths and serious injuries of loved ones. More information is needed at this point, but it doesn’t sounds like many people are coming forward with eyewitness accounts yet. Yes, there was an the illegal street race that was ultimately the reason for bystanders being out at that hour standing on the road. However, people lost their lives, so witnesses need to come forward.
In this subculture of illegal street racing, we have now seen the generations of race enthusiasts. But, my frustration — I just don’t understand how it’s ever okay for 13- and 15-year old children to be accompanying parents and grandparents to such dangerous and not-to-mention illegal events (at 3AM in the morning). Maybe I’m the prude? If it’s not one thing in this county, it’s another…

If you are looking for some local entertainment, check out Neil Simmon’s Barefoot in the Park at the Prince George’s Little Theater in Bowie, MD. The last two shows are February 22 & 23 at 8pm. This performanace of the play received positive reviews in last week’s Baltimore Sun article, ‘Barefoot’s’ Comic Flights.

Finally, some semi-positive news on the crime front in Prince George’s County. I say “semi” because the numbers are still pretty bad. Carjacking went from 476 in 2007 to 338 in 2008. One is too many, in my opinion. How about striving for zero carjackings? Carjackings are down and homicides are slight up. I guess we have to pick our battles.

Over the past several years, you may have subscribed to or have been forwarded messages from Bid Ed’s DC-Area listserv (see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dcarea/). It looks like he has been doing the listserv since 1999…has it been that long? Anyway, someone recently sent me a link to Urban Flavorz TV, which has several clips of nightlife in the Washington D.C. area and interviews of “hometown heroes” and professional athletes. The main host is none other than hometown comedian Lazee Lamont. I guess D.C. is the focus, but Lazee if you’re listening…you should come with your camera crew to some P.G. spots too. Represent Glenarden! lol

Yes, we can! Both the Obama and Donna Edwards wins give me that feeling of change that I talked about yesterday. Just a short post today. Check out this interesting Marc Fisher column from the Washington Post, “Change Is In the Air, At the Polls” — especially the reference to the “Obama effect” for the Edwards vs. Wynn race.

I attended a family event this past weekend and it was interesting to listen to the elders engage in the great debate going on in our community…Clinton or Obama? The younger relatives (40 and under) were mostly vying for Obama, but the older relatives had mixed feelings. I heard everything from, “That Obama talks to much…” and “I like Obama, but can he win a general election” and “You know, that Hillary is no Bill Clinton.”
I loved listening to and chiming in on this presidential discussion with my immediate and extended family. In the air, there was and still is the strong feeling that regardless of what happens, history will be made. And, more importantly, we are a part of this history being made. Many of the elders in the room, were active participants in the Civil Rights movement from sit-ins to marches and more. They lived their history. I feel like our generation wants to make history and be part of something new. Something different. Something progressive. Change.
Please exercise your right to vote today. VOTE!

Along with the presidential democratic primary tomorrow (2/12), the highly visible local race is the 4th Congressional District rematch of Donna Edwards and incumbent Albert Wynn. Both candidates have endorsed Barack Obama.
The Gazette ran a few interesting articles last week that give background information and a key differences between the 4th District candidates. Also, there was coverage on PBS NOW a few weeks ago that goes into detail about the national attention of the 4th District race — progressives against conservative Democrats.
Please remember to vote tomorrow - Tuesday, February 12th!
