Why Do Eastern Shore Families Keep Driving To These 6 Small-Town Seafood Diners?

Just Cats Clinic: Where Every Cat Gets to Live Beyond Nine Lives

Ask any cat owner about the worst part of a vet visit and you will hear the same story: the carrier, the car ride, and a waiting room full of barking dogs. Dr. Elizabeth Chapman decided Reston deserved better. In April 2014 she opened Just Cats Clinic at historic Lake Anne Plaza, becoming Reston’s first veterinary practice dedicated exclusively to cats. Twelve years later, it has grown into one of Northern Virginia’s most respected feline hospitals, now open 365 days a year in a newly renovated building at 11401 North Shore Drive that anchors the front of Lake Anne.

Southwest D.C. has a new movie theater — and it's not showing Marvel

There's a new movie theater in Southwest D.C. screening films you wouldn't normally find on the big screen. Why it matters: It's the Southwest neighborhood's only dedicated cinema outside of the IMAX at the Air and Space Museum, and comes as several beloved indie cinemas in D.C. have closed in recent years, like the Uptown Theater and E Street Cinema . State of play: 4EYE Film Center launched last month in the new Revada Arts Center , which also houses theater and opera groups. The nonprofit screens its films in the space's 58-seat cinema, but there's also a 140-seat black box theater and a cafe in the Revada building. (And, yes, you can bring your wine into the movie with you.) What they're saying: "We won't be doing Marvel," says 4Eye founder Emily Lenzner, who once worked in Hollywood and at the Motion Picture Association, and who previously led an effort to revive the Uptown Theater. Instead, 4Eye will screen films by indie and local filmmakers, documentaries, international films and the classics. Lenzner says movie-goers are looking for more of an experience from their theaters now, and so she plans to host Q&As and panels tied to the featured films,

Nonprofit animal protection organization sends a cease and desist letter to Mallard demanding it stop advertising its foie gras as “responsibly-farmed” and sourced “exclusively from humanely-raised and fed ducks.”

Update from Ben Williamson, Executive Director of Animal Outlook:. “We’re pleased Mallard has taken down the claim (describing its foie gras as “responsibly-farmed” and sourced “exclusively from humanely-raised and fed ducks,”). It’s hard to read that as anything but a recognition that foie gras isn’t something they can credibly call humane. Having reached that conclusion, they should cancel the dinner. Our letter also asks them to notify guests who booked on the strength of the original ad, and we’re still waiting on a written response by 5pm Monday.”
