Segways Have No Loyalty

Upon hearing that Jimi Heselden, the man who owns Segway Inc. actually died while riding a Segway, I once again tried to resist making an inappropriate joke about life’s cruel irony. By all accounts, Heselden was a good man who gave money to a number of charitable causes. So as a result, I decided to [...]

ListenToLeon Best of the Year

A friend of mine was shot and killed last night, so understandably, I’m finding it extremely difficult to write anything right now.

We’ll Miss You Teddy Pendergrass

The world just lost one of the greatest voices in the history of Soul music. Teddy Pendergrass was a truly one-of-a-kind talent whose work I grew up hearing on a regular basis thanks to my mother.

R.I.P. Ben Ali, Founder of Ben’s Chili Bowl

Yesterday, I asked folks on Twitter what they thought DC’s “signature” food was. Everyone knows that Philly has famous cheese steaks and New York has good pizza, but in the case of Washington DC, 80% of the people I asked said that chili half-smokes from Ben’s Chili Bowl would be the best choice for DC’s [...]
