This reminds me of how locals in Louisville make clever housing opportunities or leave town during Kentucky Derby weekend. Quite a boon!

I’m curious if this trickles down to things like parking. Someone’s already stocked up on traffic cones in South Philly or near a connecting SEPTA station!

I keep forgetting to run for gentle pace setting. My legs are long and thick, so short/choppy steps and a slower pace doesn’t feel comfortable for my calves and knees 🤷🏾‍♂️

This! The amount of ads needed to generate revenue and keep content free (for readers) is so high that folks will choose to go elsewhere. I can‘t blame someone if there are multiple/distracting ads, they're hard to close, long ads for a short videos, or the site struggles to load from the bloat.

Deserved! Y’all have done wonders building this over the last couple years.

Slightly shameless plug: I run a image wire service based in DC if y’all need photos to complement the coverage!

I’d agree! In the PA side, I love how teams like the Philadelphia Ukrainians made a wildly deep impact on soccer in the US in the early/mid 1900s

Looking back: Teams like Boise State and Hawai’i having as much quality and notoriety 00s and 10s oddly made way more sense than than these teams being so good now 😂

A German reporter behind me had to go back into screening because they went to the bathroom while waiting at the red carpet checkpoint 😭 their team initially waited outside almost 2 hours for the initial screening

Got in *just* before the arrival deadline! Now we wait for (hopefully) one more screening before the red carpet arrivals.

I should’ve been at the Kennedy Center over an hour ago. Roads blocked, DC morning traffic, dignitary convoys, and (what seems like) one car screening checkpoint. Less than ideal.

I love this work and what the camera provides. The print shop and magazines help fuel NW in lean times and cover the costs of other coverage. It'd be great to earn enough from these initiatives to support others in need. For now, connecting with people through the photographs is a good start.
