* SECURITY EXERCISES: From Feb. 2 to Feb. 13, naval bases and installations in the DC area will be conducting an annual security training and readiness exercise, dubbed SOLID CURTAIN-CITADEL SHIELD 2015. "Measures have been taken to minimize disruptions to normal base operations, but there may be times when the exercise causes increased traffic around bases or delays in base access. Area residents may also see increased security activity associated with the exercise."

BLOOD DRIVE: There is a
community blood drive on Saturday, Feb. 7, from 10 am to 4 pm. The truck will be parked outside of Lot 38 Espresso at 2nd and L streets, SE, and Lot 38 is offering a free drink for each donor.
Reservations encouraged but not required.
Read more here about Davon and Kai, the young residents whose need for blood products inspired the event.

NO MORE LOT P: A season ticket holder was informed by the Nationals that Lot P--the garage below
1015 Half Street--has been dropped from the lineup of
parking lots available to season ticket holders. With CBS Radio and the National Labor Relations Board preparing to move into the building (and with
Bonchon in preparations to open in the ground floor), it's perhaps not a surprise that there may not be quite so many spaces available in the building anymore. But at least a a surface lot should reappear at 1st and N (the old
Spooky Building 213 site) in the coming months after being out-of-circulation last year.
