Pick Up a Paper, or Better Yet: Fire Up the Comments!
The online component of our all-encompassing, incontrovertible Hoods & Services issue—your inexhaustive guide to D.C.’s neighborhoods—has gone live, people. And unlike with that dead-tree version right now in a box near you, you can instantly tell us what you think. Every hood profile has a comments section, so if our failsafe assessments of where you live fail to define it to your liking (the nerve!), why not let us know?
Have at it, D.C. We’ll run the especially fun/acerbic stuff in next week’s paper.

U Street gets the shaft? You split the neighborhood up like Jerusalem. The first injury came when they drew the cab-zone right down U — and now this!

Sounds like a Liquorridor resident wished he were living in Laptopia!

I love that cover. Almost as much as I loved it the first time, when it was on the New Yorker seven years ago:

Congrats, Reid. You got it!

“Congrats, Reid. You got it!”
By your tone I assume you’re saying “of course this is like the New Yorker cover. Don’t pat yourself on the back too hard for figuring it out. Jackass.” But it’s one thing to be an homage or a response to the original. This just seems to be an uncredited imitation because it doesn’t put a twist on the original, or say something like “with all apologies to the New Yorker”. Nor do I think the original is so notorious as to not need attribution.
Whatever. I think the names are funny, I just thought proper credit was due (which you might do in the paper version, I just haven’t read it yet).
