His speech --spastic and halting, destroys the overall pleasure from the listening experience. Please enroll Matt Dayton in a speech therapy class: having him announce classical works in a spastic, halting and hesitant manner brutally breaks the spell of the music by forcing the music lover's attention to his idiosyncratic speech, which I'd call a Spastaccato; if you can bear just a few moments, you.will.know.what.I.mean! It is like listening to a grade schooler's rendition of Shakespeare. His speech deficiency stands in stark contrast to that of the regular announcers--Linda , Bill , Chip, Evan, Rich , John and Nicole, who enhance and prolong the pleasure of the work with their cultured and refined speech.

As one who must spend far too much time in my car, I am often frustrated by tuning into the middle of a piece and seeing on my car screen WETA Classical at the top, Classical for Washington at the bottom which is redundant and provides no information about the piece that is playing. Frustration abounds. Lately, information has always been sporadic, but lately it has become worse. The simple fix is for all hosts to routinely turn on the feature that gives the title and composer of the work. By making this practice official in your manual of standard operating procedures, all hosts can solve the problem with a flick of the switch. WETA Classical is missing a great, just-in-time opportunity for classical music education, leaving your semi-literate listeners to guess ...and to stew unnecessarily over lack of information. Please help us out here: Kindly, TURN ON THE TITLE! All of Washington will thank you. Yours in awe of the composers and performers who have bequeathed an incomprehensible gift of music that brings so much joy to our lives, Meg Maguire *****

While the other review (at the time of this writing) is one of the least useful reviews I've ever…read moreseen on this site, I hope mine can shed some more light and encourage you to attend in future years. A brief overview: - The Festival is held on Walter Reed, between the Arlington Drafthouse/Bangkok 54 and Twisted Vines (which if you know Arlington well, should give you a good idea of the location). It stretches from the Pike to just before the library (where the stage is). I can't personally comment on the parking, but I heard it was tough, so Metro or rideshare. - While there are black folding chairs available, I recommend bringing a blanket (there's lawn space) or your own chairs. - You could bring a picnic, but they had interesting food options, such as Suya To Go (Nigerian kabob), Sloppy Mama's (BBQ), Mazagan (Morrocan), Cantina Mexicana, Carol's Jamaican Cuisine, Mac's Donuts, and some lame festival/fair concessions. - You can buy beer and wine, which is basically a necessity. Beer was from Yuengling and Twisted Vines did the wine. - There were a lot of stands to explore, but many were for timeshares, or doors, or windows. Quite boring. However, there were some fun vendors selling jewelry, arts, etc., and I appreciated that. There were also Arlington civic organizations. I had a fantastic time at this festival. While I was unfamiliar with the performers, I thought they were all great, and represented a mix of styles. There were a few traditional performers, and then some that had more a funk or R&B mix. The festival started at 1, but didn't really get busy until around 4 or so. For food, I tried Suya, Cantina, and Mac's. I had a pupusa from Cantina, but didn't love it. It's a little hard when pupusas are not straight from the griddle. Suya To Go was delicious, though you get a tiny portion for $14. The jollof was boring, but the chicken kabob was spicy and delicious. The plantains were an interesting blend of of tostones and platanos. Basically, they took a yellow plantain and fried like a green plantain. I've never had one like that, but I loved it. I've had Mac's Donuts before and those are always a good bet. I think this festival is a great way to showcase more Pike restaurants, so I'm not sure why only two were there. I'm super looking forward to following years, and definitely think this is a festival worth checking out.

She was very friendly and gave me a quote based on my description of my house and the tasks needed, and she was able to schedule me on the day before our sale was active on a weeks' notice. M&D sent out four ladies, and they did a great job. We were mainly looking for baseboards, high dusting, and light fixture cleaning, as well as floor cleaning (hardwood, carpet, and bathroom tile). They worked fast and cleaned more than I expected. I was very pleased with the results, and for the size of home the cost was very reasonable. I will be recommending them to my neighbors, and will likely call them in for a move out cleaning if our sales contract stipulates.
