Washington, DC

Today I got to be a passenger for a change, and took in a hill that goes up from Rock Creek Parkway to Georgetown. This week, it is covered with bright yellow daffodils. Since I wasn't driving, I grabbed my I-Phone and got snapped this during a moment of slow traffic. This is just a beautiful drive!

Ah! Springtime in Washington! And we haven't even gotten to the cherry blossoms yet!

Politics and Prose: Bookstore of the Washington Cognoscente

If you are having no luck at all finding a parking place near Connecticut Avenue and Fessenden Streets, it's probably because some Pulitzer Prize winner is doing a lecture and book signing at my favorite book store, Politics and Prose.

It's a book store.

It's a coffee house.

And oops! It's a cell phone free zone. Well, I do put mine on vibrate when I go inside, but then if it rings, I run outside to answer.

Whether it's a children's book for a friend's new baby or a volume on Washington neighborhood history, you can find it at Politics and Prose. And whether you are liberal or conservative, all of your favorite presidents will be on their shelves. I remember getting Bill Clinton's autograph in his autobiography when it came out.

Politics and Prose sponsors many local book groups, and any group can register and arrange to order whatever you are reading at the special book club discount. And they offer many courses with themes, like literature set in Paris - my personal favorite.

Visit their web site for a calandar of events, a list of courses they offer and book groups they host.

Or if you're hungry, drop by for lunch or a healthy afternoon snack at the cafe downstairs.

In addition to any book you could want, they also have a great collection of music, greeting cards, and T-shrts in all sizes with their "So many books! So little time!" motto printed on the back.

There is free parking in the rear of the store (all bets are off when someone famouse is doing a book signing).

Politics and Prose is located at 5015 Connecticut Avenue NW.

For a long time now, one gigantic chain of drugstores has dominated the market (at least for legal drugs) here in Washington, DC. Over the last few years, they have expanded rapidly, buying out small independent pharmacies and opening stores in virtually every neighborhood in the city.

For a while now, their service has gone down the tubes. If you can't find what you walked in to buy, good luck finding an employee to come to your aid, and the few there are raise surly to an art form. And if you do manage to find your items, there will be a long line to pay for them.

Last night, we noticed a brand new drug store - a Walgreen's - half a block south of the giant chain we love to hate! It's right near the corner of Connecticut Avenue and Veazey Street NW.

It's a new, bright and sparkling clean. Everything is easy to find, but there was still a friendly employee who asked if I needed to be pointed to the cough syrup department.

Walgreens saw an opportunity here in DC, and if their other stores do as good a job as this at putting the competition to shame, they will do well. Of course, some day Walgreens could get as fat and lazy as the current big chain. And if they do, I can only hope there will be another upstart to come in and give them a run for their money.

Am I actually calling Walgreen's, a company founded in 1901, an upstart? Charles Walgreen would be proud.
