This be dope? ---- Hip hop on the Hill Nia-Malika Henderson Nia-malika Henderson Tue May 19, 5:18 am ET Buoyed by Barack Obama’s election as president, a group of hip-hop artists and other activists is taking to Capitol Hill — trying to harness the wave of support for Obama among young voters into an ongoing political force. The group, the Hip Hop Caucus, has a nine-member Washington office — but its real reach comes from its ability to harness the power of hip-hop artists to put a famous face on issues and draw in their young, multicultural fans.

Valet Parking at a $10 minimum appeared in front of the ground-level Macy's Men's Store, whose merchandise became increasingly bizarre - I assume reflecting their new customer base. The 2 hour Valet tariff was recently cut to $7, but it's still an interesting study to see the type of status-seeking sociopath who parks there rather than self-parking upstairs at a rate of $1 for four hours. .
