Many of you are coming to this site because you read Why I Hate DC. I'd like to thank you for coming along to this new outpost, and I hope you'll decide to stick around. If you've been reading Why I Hate DC for any amount of time, you'll likely understand why I've created District Daily.

I've created this new site to focus on cutting through all of the smoke and, for lack of better words, bullshit that goes on in DC. I spend a good amount of time following the news in the DC area, and I spend even more of my time researching stories. For the last few months, I've been able to fit these in with the whole motif of "Why I Hate DC." However, I've grown increasingly frustrated at the limitations imposed by that moniker.

There are a lot of stories to be told in the District. Each and every day I come across a story that should be told, and should be told in an accessible manner. This site, District Daily, will be an outpost for people who want to get a clearer picture of what is happening in the District of Columbia.

As I have done in the past, I will spend time getting to the bottom of stories of interest to people in the Washington, DC area. I will also attempt to cut through the smoke and mirrors that surround many 'complicated' stories, and bring you the bottom line. 

District Daily will cover all types of stories, including city politics and business development. That said, I won't be attempting to duplicate every other DC blog already in existence. Instead, I will focus on going a bit further with the stories that might fall through the cracks elsewhere. I'll track down stories that readers feel are important. I'll follow up on the stories that have been neglected by others. There's a lot of room for improvement in local news coverage in DC. I hope to fill in the gaps.

Of course, this isn't to say I won't retain my humor. To cover DC area news without a sense of humor is to be on the fast track to the crazy house. I'm not going to forget where I came from, but I know where I want to go. I want to see important stories brought to light. I want to see a brighter future for local media.

Let's get started.
