Meandering downtown through D.C. Lots of photos, especially after the jump.

16″ in Arlington is a lot. Not sure how much is here, but I like thinking it’s two feet of snow.

Not a flake has dropped in the D.C. area yet hype grips the region as another massive snow storm comes barreling down. Time to panic!
Amidst it all, I find myself laughing in the face of four feet of snow, skeptical that the impending storm will do much of anything. Perhaps I’m reaching back to my days as a primary school student, staking hope in the absence of school thanks to a few inches of snow. Those were the days when you’d wake up at 6am and not a flake was on the ground. Curse you weathermen!
It doesn’t look like they’ll be wrong this time — see map above — and as I write this out the first few flakes are trickling down. The resulting hype from this approaching snow storm has seen movies stripped off the shells at the library and panicky customers at the local grocery stores.
Bring it on. It should be fun.

Soccer City still needs some work
Published December 28, 2009 Soccer , South Africa , World Cup Leave a CommentSoccer City is the crown jewel of the 2010 World Cup. The 90,000+ stadium is going to host the opening and closing matches of the tournament, with a handful of other games sandwiched in between. While the interior is done, the exterior leaves a lot to be desired.
Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium
Published December 23, 2009 Soccer , South Africa , World Cup Leave a CommentOne of the five new stadiums built for 2010, Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium is the prize possession of Port Elizabeth. The industrial town on South Africa’s southern coast was referenced as the Detroit of South Africa — a backhanded compliment if I ever heard one.
Here’s some video shot from the interior.
