Having strong opinions about Colbert and late night TV is absolutely valid. Saying the cancellation of a network TV franchise, coming from a person who made their career in network TV, ignores the behind the scenes people who will lose jobs, too. Not a great look, IMHO.

The retail stall at Alethia Tanner Park finally has a tenant - Tommy's Tacos is opening later this year from chef Thomas Stacy, a Houston native who worked at Pineapple & Pearls.

Check this out. Car swept up by flood waters. AND an estimated 20 people stuck inside a building who are trapped by flood waters. In the last few minutes, it appears first responders think the flood waters have finally receded enough for them to get out. #Fox5DC #FoxLocal
