This week, ANC2C02 home owner Garrette Moore launched the 2.0 version of his online video-only cultural magazine. The Around DC tab currently features a piece on last month's Servathon 08 at Scott Montgomery Elementary in which I got a chance to interview SME principal Melissa Martin. You can also take a ride with Master Patrol Officer Tommy Barnes as he gives his perspective on policing PSA 308. From haute couture benefits for our four legged friends, to tips on tying the perfect tie and great dining and drinking venues in Shaw and throughout the District, this is sure to be a popular site to bookmark.

In the DC Compass directory, the owners of Good Libations, Veranda Restaurant, Queen of Sheba and Big Bear Café get some face time as DC Compass explores some of our favorite local businesses.

There are also shout outs about upcoming "festivents", including this week's gay pride festival — as well as past events you might have missed, but can now get a flavor of on this great new site. Check it out this week and every week.
