Dulles Airport has a new $700 million 14-gate concourse expected to open in 2026, with plans for more expansions & concourses in the future. Eventually, the current C-D concourse will go away.

Once the World’s Largest, a Hotel Goes ‘Poof!’ Before Our Eyes (Published 2023)

The Hotel Pennsylvania in Manhattan was a virtual city within a city. But in the end, nothing could save it.

The Capital Weather Gang's predictions for a mild winter have proven true, and our hope for a big snow is waning. This time last year, City Paper staff photographer Darrow Montgomery captured the historically snowy month. His 2022 in Photos is at the link. bit.ly/3Wka9IY

Last fall, visual artist Adam Davis captured tintype photos of the descendants of Africatown during the premiere of the @HGMedia documentary Descendant. He recently took one of me, too. These photos were inspired by the images taken of a Clotilda survivor, Cudjoe Lewis.

We are living in a time of the forgotten smile. In photojournalism, it's almost a taboo emotion to show. This project, drawn from my archive, illustrates the beauty of the smile, shown on the faces of people from all over the world.

ALT KrebsOnSecurity.com headline: Identity Thieves Bypassed Experian Security to View Credit Reports

Article excerpt: But that didn’t stop Experian from showing me my full credit report after I changed the Experian URL as Kushnir had instructed — modifying the error page’s trailing URL from “/acr/OcwError” to simply “/acr/report”. Experian’s website then immediately displayed my entire credit file.

Fun fact. The house usually does not allow photographers in but since there are no rules we get historic 8photos. Ask your representative to continue allowing photogs in! @andyharnik @AnnaMoneymaker @jabinbotsford and @jonpcherry all get the grab.

The first time I got home after Jan 6, my then 5 yr old son hugged me and asked “Dada, are you ok?” “Why do you ask?” “Did something happen at your work?” I didn’t know what to say and never followed up.2yrs later I think I’m ready to talk to him. Here’s what I plan to say.THREAD

Congress needs smart people to function, but smart people are smart enough not to run for Congress. Quite a dilemma.

TIL that Elizabeth Magie, the designer of The Landlord's Game (now #Monopoly) was granted her patent on this day in 1904 & is buried in nearby Arlington, VA! Even though Charles Darrow commercialized her design to make a fortune, we honor her as one of the original #gamergirls.
