Green color tones, a casual atmosphere, and lots of wine are some of the elements behind Robert Wiedmaier's newest eatery.
Wildwood Kitchen marked its soft opening in the Wildwood Shopping Center last week, and Eater DC sat with architects Peter Hapstak and Natalie Park to talk design.

High-voltage anti-Pepco madness, looking for a mystery man in Bethesda and even dogs in Montgomery County turn political. Oh, and a bunch of fifth graders call out The Washington Post. All this stuff really happened in Montgomery County last week.
Montgomery County might be known for its calm reserve but it turns out residents get outraged when they learn that under state law they have to help compensate for losses by one of the most hated companies in America—Pepco. Montgomery County Council President Roger Berliner said residents had had enough and held a press conference to call for improvements. Maryland's county executives, including Montgomery's Ike Leggett, blasted Pepco for failing to to provide specific addresses with outages so elderly residents could be helped during the heat wave.
