It rattled as far as Toronto, Canada all the way down to Georgia! As my office building evacuated and I witnessed everyone in D.C. flooding the streets, I couldn't help but wonder, is the DMV really prepared for an earthquake?

US Park Police arrested five people this weekend at the Jefferson Memorial.  The flash mob had gathered at the memorial to protest an appeals court ruling which prohibited dancing at the memorial "because it stands out as a type of performance, creating its own center of attention and distracting from the atmosphere of solemn commemoration."

Well, almost. Rih Rih is the latest edition to Madame Tussaud's wax museum here in the Distrct (I know, I had to look twice at the picture too). The rude gal joins the likes of President Obama and First Lady Michelle, Denzel Washongton, Tyra Banks and more. Madame Tussaud's is located at 1001 F Street NW. From now until September 30, say the word "umbrella" before reaching in your wallet and you'll receive buy-one-get-one-free admission.

On Friday night, D.C., Maryland and Virginia were hit with a record breaking blizzard. But that doesn't mean anything to all the snow enthusiasts in the DMV! Thanks to twitter and other social media platforms, a good amount of people got together and organized one of the largest snowball fights on U St (which ended with a police incident) and in DuPont Circle.

African Immigrant Enterprise in Metropolitan Washington, D.C.

Source: Africa Yellow Pages

Starting a new business requires innovation, risk taking, hard work, and a lot of discipline. For African immigrants, who have settled in the Washington, D.C., area at least 7,000 miles from home, even more is involved. African immigrants must learn American business practices, laws, and success strategies. Many rely on traditional skills, such as hair braiding, tailoring or dressmaking, and cooking as a basis for their businesses. At the same time, they rely on traditional social networks within their immigrant communities - friendship, kinship, and people from the same region or ethnic group back home - to help them succeed.


Suggested Reading

Light, Ivan. 1984. Immigrant and Ethnic Enterprise in North America. Ethnic and Racial Studies 7: 195-216.

When Barack Obama immigrated from France to the United States shortly before inauguration, he promised his elitist artist friends in Parisian salons that he would bring the Americans -- "those cretin hamburger-suckers" -- the delicate, vital tastes of Modern Art. That, and Grey Poupon mustard.
