MARYLAND In early April, a 4-year-old boy spotted a 3-foot black rat snake emerging from the facade of his family’s Annapolis home. Jody and Jeffrey Brooks initially were excited about their son’s discovery. They had encountered a snake’s shedded skin in the house months earlier and thought they were now able to dispose of their serpent problem. But a week or so later, Jeffrey Brooks found a thick, 7-foot black rat snake. Then the family found another. And another. They called in a contractor and snake inspector, who gutted the basement and deemed the house snake-infested and unsuitable for children. They moved into Jody

Md. family sues for $2M, saying real estate agent hid serpent infestation

Black rat snake skins that were found in the home purchased by Jeff and Jody Brooks in Beechwood, Md., are displayed last week.

Brooks’ parents’ house — leaving their new home after four months. Now the couple are suing the previous owner of the house and the real estate agent who sold it to them last year for $410,000, claiming they knew of the snake infestation and concealed it from

them so they’d buy the house. The couple filed suit on May 19 and are asking for a combined $2 million in damages. The snake infestation was so severe, the suit alleges, that an inspector observed “highways in the basement walls that the snakes use

to traverse the home.” “It was a house we could make into our dream home,” Jody Brooks said. “We had a fear that the [snakes] would go into our daughter’s crib and, like the movies, wrap itself around our baby girl.” Black rat snakes are nonvenomous and are not typically interested in humans. Black rat snakes leave behind a distinct smell and because of this, Jody Brooks said, the family could never move back to the property. The smell can attract more snakes and there would be a risk of them returning, she said. “Unfortunately, that’s us, we’re the snake family. … We’ve learned more about snakes than we’ve ever wanted to know,” she said. “We just want them to let us start over and take the house back.” PERRY STEIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Officials say a D.C. teacher is accused of sexually abusing a juvenile who attends the school. Members of the Youth Investigations Division arrested 31-year-old Giovanni Pena on Tuesday, one day after Metropolitan Police Department investigators received information about the accusation. The Oyster-Adams Bilingual School’s website lists Pena as a fourth-grade English teacher who joined the school in 2008. Officials say Pena was removed from the classroom when D.C.

A grand jury indicted Hughes on six charges that carry up to 9½ years in prison. Hughes, who lives in Ruskin, Fla., said he’s received tremendous public support. The tail section of Hughes’ gyrocopter carried a Postal Service logo, and Hughes was carrying letters for each member of Congress. (AP)

Court documents unsealed Wednesday also show that police are taking an interest in an iPhone belonging to Savvas Savopoulos’ assistant, who collected and dropped off a $40,000 ransom before the killings, and then, according to police, lied to detectives about the details. He was acting on a request from Savopoulos made while police believe the family was being held captive. Authorities also had initially said there were no signs of a forced break-in, but one warrant

Mills was across the street from a fire station when he collapsed, and multiple people went to the station to request aid. But none of the five firefighters inside provided any help.

‘Don’t touch that … not that either.’

Boston police officers on Tuesday investigate where Usaama Rahim was shot by anti-terror agents.

FBI: Slain suspect was plotting against police When confronted, man refused to drop a large knife, police say BOSTON A knife-wielding black man killed on Tuesday by the terror investigators who had him under surveillance was confronted because he had purchased knives and talked of an imminent attack on “boys in blue,” the FBI said Wednesday. Usaama Rahim plotted for at least a week to attack police, the FBI said in a complaint against David Wright, who was arrested the same day Rahim was shot to death. Wright was ordered held Wednesday on a charge of conspiracy with intent to obstruct a federal investigation.

49°

The FBI says the two men bought three fighting knives and a knife sharpener on or before May 26, and alleges that Rahim told Wright on Tuesday that he would begin trying to randomly kill police officers in Massachusetts. Faced with an imminent threat, the anti-terror task force of FBI agents and Boston police confronted Rahim on a sidewalk, and fatally shot him when he refused to drop his knife, authorities said. Authorities moved swiftly Wednesday to manage public perceptions of the shooting. Rahim’s family is prominent among Muslims in Boston, where his mother is a nurse at Boston University. His older brother, Ibrahim Rahim, is a scholar known for preaching that violence is anti-Islamic.

Ibrahim Rahim initially posted a message on Facebook alleging that police shot his brother in the back on Tuesday. But the imam’s version unraveled Wednesday after police showed their video of the confrontation to community leaders. Darnell Williams, president of the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts, said afterward that he could “150 percent corroborate” the police account. The images clearly show that Rahim “was not shot in the back,” Williams said. The video, which police have yet to make available publicly, shows that Rahim menaced the officers with a large militarystyle knife and that they initially backed away before shooting him when he refused to drop it, police said.

A small private school in Minneapolis made headlines after its principal took some middle- and high-school students on a field trip to a sex shop.

Hedges told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that the purpose was to give the students a safe space to talk about sex. Since the trip, at least one parent has pulled his kids from the school.

Drugstores have reported a run on surgical masks since MERS hit S. Korea.

S. Korea contends with deadly virus SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA South Korea scrambled Wednesday to try to contain an outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome, a virus that has already claimed two lives in the country, with more than 1,300 people quarantined and upward of 500 schools set to close their doors Thursday. Amid criticism it has been too slow to respond to the virus, which has no vaccine or cure, President Park Geun-hye ordered the establishment of a task force to try to contain the infection and to be more transparent along the way. “There are a lot people worried about this situation,” Park told an emergency meeting of officials and health experts Wednesday.

“We must make the utmost effort to stop MERS from spreading.” Two people have died from MERS in South Korea, while 28 others have been confirmed as having the virus, five of them on Wednesday alone. This makes the outbreak the largest outside Saudi Arabia, where MERS began three years ago, the World Health Organization said, warning that “further cases can be expected.” The case brings back memories of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, that began in Asia in 2003, spreading to Europe and the Americas and leading to 774 deaths worldwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control.

UK journalist vindicated after FIFA scandal It was just after dawn on May 27 when journalist Andrew Jennings’s phone began ringing. Swiss police had just launched a startling raid on a luxury hotel in Zurich, arresting seven top FIFA officials and charging them and others with running a $150 million racket. The world was stunned. If Jennings had answered, he wouldn’t have been surprised at the news. After all, he set the investigation in motion with his 2006 book, “FOUL! The Secret World of FIFA: Bribes, Vote Rigging and Ticket Scandals,” followed by an exposé on the BBC’s “Panorama” program that year, and another book in 2014, called “Omerta: Sepp Blatter’s FIFA Organised Crime Family.” For half a century, the 71-yearold investigative reporter has been digging into stories about organized crime. For the past 15 years, Jennings has focused on the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), international soccer’s governing body. Now, after decades of threats, suspicions and only intermittent paychecks, Jennings is being vindicated. During a phone interview Tuesday from his home in England, he called FIFA President Sepp Blatter “a dead man walking.” Two hours later, Blatter said he was stepping down, just days after being re-elected. “I know that they are criminal scum, and I’ve known it for years,” Jennings said.

NSA bill marks a milestone Reining in surveillance is a turning point in the post-9/11 world POLITICS The USA Freedom Act, signed into law by President Barack Obama on Tuesday, is the first piece of legislation to rein in surveillance powers in the wake of disclosures two years ago by Edward Snowden. With its passage, Congress has answered Obama’s call to end the National Security Agency’s bulk storage of Americans’ phone data

while preserving a way for the agency to obtain the records of terrorism suspects. That it took almost a year and a half to meet that goal is an indication of the controversy surrounding the issue in a divided Congress. Fears of another terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11 no longer galvanize lawmakers in the same way they once did. Today, the nation is more divided about the proper balance between liberty and security. The inability of the Senate for weeks to resolve the issue,

forcing the lapse of three surveillance powers at midnight Sunday, reflected the fissures between those who think that the terrorist threat is as potent as ever and those who believe the government has overreached in its goal to keep us safe. The final bill doesn’t end the surveillance debate or go as far as some members of the president’s liberal base or the libertarian right would like. Some lawmakers have vowed to press for further changes to protect citizens’ privacy and enhance transparency. ELLEN NAKASHIMA (AP)

Family sues to rebury Jim Thorpe Two children of Jim Thorpe, one of America’s greatest athletes, are suing the town named after him, asking the U.S. Supreme Court for the right to bury him elsewhere. The body of Thorpe, born in Oklahoma of a white father and an Indian mother in 1887, was sold after his death by his third wife for $500 to a Pennsylvania town that renamed itself Jim Thorpe. His kids argue that resting place violates the Native American Grave Protection and Repatriation Act. (THE WASHINGTON POST)

The Facebook effect Content of your News Feed may subtly skew your point of view on political news SOCIAL MEDIA Facebook’s 1.44 billion users rely on the site for lots of things: keeping in touch, sharing photos, casual stalking. But if you get your political news through Facebook, as more than 60 percent of millennials do, please browse with extreme caution: The site doesn’t show you everything, and may subtly skew your point of view. This is not, of course, a new fear. But a new survey by the Pew Center, released Monday, suggests there may be some new urgency here. That study shows a majority of American Internet users now get political news from Facebook — and the 2016 elections are in just over a year. That’s important because Facebook is quite unlike traditional conduits of news. (Think: your local ABC affiliate, a gossipy neighbor, this page.) As in those more traditional settings, Facebook gives you a great deal of control over which sources you follow and what you choose to read. But unlike those other, traditional sources, Facebook also hides stories selectively. According to a recent Washington Post experiment, as much as 72 percent of the new material your friends and subscribed pages post never actually shows up in your News Feed. “A longer-term question that arises from this data [about Facebook as a political news source],” the Pew report says, “is what younger Americans’ reliance on social media for news might mean for the political system.” By now, it should be common knowledge that the News Feed does not show you every post. Facebook has a good reason for doing this: If you saw every post, there’d simply be too many

Working mom? You’re being paid a lot less.

So, how can I fix my News Feed? Sociologist Zeynep Tufekci has called for Facebook to hand more filtering control directly over to its users. (Balancer, a browser extension/research project that took this approach toward news site reading, is the only known tool to increase “diverse exposure” clearly and measurably.) Meanwhile, Jonathan Zittrain, a law professor at Harvard, has called for Facebook to declare itself an “information fiduciary,” much like lawyers and doctors do already. In exchange for, say, a tax break, the site would promise to offer a depersonalized, unfiltered News Feed experience, among other things. Until those solutions come to fruition, consider toggling from “top stories” to “most recent” on the site. (TWP)

to read. So instead, Facebook tries to predict the posts you’re most interested in. The math behind the News Feed changes constantly, and Facebook regularly rejiggers it to meet user needs. Unsurprisingly, Facebook has worked very hard to shed the impression that it filters political news. In May, researchers working for the site published a very high-profile, very controversial paper on the “ideological diversity” of information in the News Feed. The communications

scholar Christian Sandvig called it the “‘it’s not our fault’ study” — a deliberate attempt to prove that their algorithm isn’t to blame. As Sandvig and others have pointed out, though, that isn’t actually what Facebook’s data shows. The study only looked at a small and highly non-representative user sample. And it shows that the algorithm does tweak political news in three important, if modest, ways. In the average conservative’s News Feed, the

algorithm cuts out 5 percent of liberal-leaning articles, and in the average liberal’s News Feed, 8 percent of conservative-leaning articles got cut. It might be hard to see the big so-what in all of this. But consider that more than half of all American adults use Facebook — enough people, some scholars theorize, to swing a national election. As more of those people use Facebook for news, we risk “accelerating” polarization for a large slice of the U.S. population. And that’s too bad, really, both because political polarization can be blamed for a host of ills, and because social networks could be a force for good here. One analysis of Twitter found that ideologically diverse networks tend to yield more moderate people — proof positive, its author wrote, that social media has “rich potential ... to transform the political process.” CAITLIN DEWEY

By now, you may have realized America’s gender wage gap is more of a maternal wage gap. Women make about 78 cents for every dollar paid to men. But at the start of their careers, the difference is much smaller. Consider millennial ladies, the slowest generation to have babies in U.S. history: They bag about 93 cents for every guy-earned dollar. That average falls dismally, however, when kids enter the work-life balance. American mothers who work full-time earn 30 cents less than working fathers, according to an analysis by the National Women’s Law Center released Wednesday. “Mothers are recommended for significantly lower starting salaries [and] perceived as less competent,” the study says. Beyond the obvious financial blow to families — poverty touches half of kids living with single mothers, for example — the psychological impact of receiving less pay for equal work can be devastating. Expectant mothers, anticipating judgement, sometimes hide their bellies for as long as possible. Working moms make less than working dads in every state, according to the National Women’s Law Center analysis. The maternal wage gap is smallest in D.C., where mothers typically make 10 cents less than fathers, and highest Louisiana, where the difference is a whopping 42 cents.

THREE POINTERS

Threats to the Crown

Cavaliers star has taken his game to a new level entering the NBA Finals NBA FINALS LeBron James listened to a question he’s been asked in the past and began processing. On the eve of his fifth consecutive NBA Finals, James appears to be playing the best ball of his life. But does the 30-year-old fourtime league MVP who has carried the Cavaliers within four wins of a championship in his homecoming season believe he’s at the pinnacle of his 12-year career? “I think if you put it all together, yeah,” he said. “If you put everything together as far as my mind, my body, my game. If you put everything in one bottle, this is probably the best I’ve been.” Although he has scored more, shot for a higher percentage and had bigger statistical games in nine previous postseasons, James has taken his game to new

boundaries as he prepares to take on the Golden State Warriors (Game 1 tonight, 9 p.m., ABC). He’s still doing what few can physically match on the floor, but he’s also lifting his teammates, inspiring them, making them believe they can end Cleveland’s 51-year title drought. James has pushed the Cavaliers past postseason injuries to Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving, the other members of Cleveland’s Big 3. James has picked up the slack with more rebounds and by playing point guard. He’s brought out the best in sharpshooter J.R. Smith and made reserves like Iman Shumpert and Matthew Dellavedova embrace their roles. He’s even caused David Blatt’s critics to pause and reconsider what kind of job Cleveland’s first-year coach has done. “Even in the past, mentally I just wasn’t who I am today,” James said. “My mind, my hard drive, wasn’t as big. I’m able to handle a lot of situations that I

LeBron: This is the best I’ve ever played LeBron James has averaged 27.6 points a game this postseason.

wasn’t able to handle at 24 and 25 years old. I just tried to do it by just going out and just playing.” Irving didn’t fully understand James’ genius until they became teammates. Over the past few months, the All-Star point guard has grown to appreciate his effect on those around him. Irving marvels at James’ photographic memory and uncanny knack for seeing plays unfold before others. “I became a fan to be honest with you,” Irving said. “When you get to see him up close and the work that he puts in, the dedication that he has, the drive and the will that he has.” Warriors swingman Shaun Livingston said there’s an obvious difference in James, version

2015, and the one he played against in past years. “He’s definitely better,” said Livingston. “His time in Miami helped sharpen his mental fortitude.” James has pieced together an amazing body of work in this postseason already. He nearly averaged a triple-double in the Eastern Conference finals, posting 30.3 points, 11.0 rebounds and 9.3 assists in the series, the first player to average at least 30 points, 10 boards and nine assists in a series. “I’ve been watching a lot of playoffs the last six years,” Love said, “and I don’t know if I’ve seen him play better than this.” TOM WITHERS (AP)

Harper’s not using dip, it’s ‘herbal stuff’

Nationals reliever Blake Treinen allowed three runs in the seventh inning of Tuesday’s loss to the Blue Jays.

Bullpen woes are again at the root of a Nats skid Relievers’ troubles put pressure on starters, bats to get out of funk NATIONALS In a 162-game schedule, there are plenty of ups and downs. A week ago, the Nationals were coming off a stretch of 21 wins in 27 games. But prior to Wednesday’s contest against the Blue Jays, the Nationals were losers of four of their past five, which included a series sweep by the Reds. Bullpen troubles have contributed to the slump. Seventh and eighth innings have been especially problematic, with Nationals relievers allowing a total of 14 runs in those two frames during this five-game stretch. All of these runs have been allowed by Aaron Barrett, Casey Janssen, Blake Treinen and Matt Grace. Similarly, the Nationals gave up 11 runs in the seventh and eighth innings over a six-game

ERA of the Nationals’ bullpen entering Wednesday’s game, ranking 16th in the majors. Last year, Washington had the fourth-lowest bullpen ERA at 3.00. Opposing teams are hitting .250 against Washington’s relievers — which ranks 21st in baseball. (EXPRESS)

losing streak in late April. The lack of a consistent setup man — a luxury a year ago with Tyler Clippard — has become concerning. But Washington has done plenty to overcome its erratic bullpen throughout the year. When the Nationals snapped out of their first funk of the season, it was due to a solid combination of starting pitching and timely hitting. Even with Stephen Strasburg

on the disabled list, the Nationals’ strong rotation should keep them in most games, and the team entered Wednesday sixth in the majors in runs scored. “If we can [pitch well and play defense] then we have an opportunity,” manager Matt Williams said. “One swing of the bat can mean a game for us. There have been a bunch of quality starts by our guys. That’s what we want and that’s the way we want to play it.” The Nationals have shown an ability to win games in multiple ways. They’re 6-0 when scoring 10 or more runs and 10-5 in games decided by just one run. “We have guys that can stop the bleeding,” pitcher Gio Gonzalez said. “This team is very tough to slow down to one hit or one run, or anything like that. There are so many great hitters in the lineup. It’s keeping your team in the game and learning how to work with that.” JASON BUTT (FOR EXPRESS)

Nationals’ Bryce Harper wins NL player of the month after hitting 13 homers in May

Bryce Harper works hard to take care of his body and is very particular about the substances he puts into it. The 22-year-old Nationals outfielder avoids sugary and caffeine-filled drinks, save for the occasional Mountain Dew or pumpkin spice latte. He has never had a drop of alcohol and says he never plans to. Which is why seeing Harper with a wad of something in his lower mouth this season has raised a few questions. Does Harper use chewing tobacco? Nationals manager Matt Williams was asked that question during his appearance with The Sports Junkies on 106.7 The Fan on Wednesday. “No, no,” Williams said. “That is all herbal. … That herbal stuff is available as an alternative to chewing tobacco. … So yeah, nobody needs to worry about that. He’s perfectly fine and doing well, so if he wants to put herbs in his mouth, I’m good with that.” SCOTT ALLEN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

No. 1 Djokovic takes down the ‘King of Clay’ FRENCH OPEN There was no trophy, and no title, for Novak Djokovic at Court Philippe Chatrier. Perhaps there should have been, considering what he accomplished. Thoroughly outplaying the best there’s ever been on red clay, Djokovic ended Rafael Nadal’s 39-match French Open winning streak Wednesday by beating the nine-time champion in a surprisingly lopsided quarterfinal 7-5, 6-3, 6-1. “A match,” Djokovic said, “that I will remember for a long time.” It’s only Nadal’s second defeat in 72 career matches at Roland Garros — and second in 95 bestof-five-set matches anywhere on the surface. The other came in the fourth round in Paris in 2009 against Robin Soderling. Before that, Nadal won four championships in a row. And since? Nadal collected a record five straight French Open titles. In Friday’s semifinals, the topranked Djokovic will meet No. 3 Andy Murray, who eliminated 2013 runner-up David Ferrer 7-6 (4), 6-2, 5-7, 6-1. The other semifinal is Stan Wawrinka vs. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga. In the women’s semifinals today, Serena Williams plays Timea Bacsinszky, and Ana Ivanovic meets Lucie Safarova. Williams advanced with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Sara Errani, and Bacsinszky beat Alison Van Uytvanck 6-4, 7-5. HOWARD FENDRICH (AP)

From his desk to the Smithsonian Financial icon Bill Gross donated several objects for an upcoming exhibit Financial legend Bill Gross has donated his old Bloomberg Terminal keyboard to the National Museum of American History, where it will be on display starting July 1. Taped to the keyboard is a piece of paper with his employee ID and password — a practice he keeps up today, even as he controls the $1.52 billion Janus Global Unconstrained Bond Fund.

“Sometimes you come into the office at 6 a.m., before having a cup of coffee or two, and think, ‘What’s my password again?’ It’s a helpful reminder for a 71-yearold,” he says. Gross also donated a pair of fuzzy dice and two Beanie Babies — a bear and a bull — that sat on his computer monitors. “He started out as a professional gambler, and so the fuzzy dice are looking back on that moment he moved out of playing blackjack and into bond trading, which is arguably somewhat

The spying game In “Spy,” out Friday, Melissa McCarthy plays a spy. (It’s the kind of mysterious movie title that really gets butts in seats.) Even though spycraft is more staring at screens than shooting at bad guys, movies make stealing secrets look glamorous.

COMEDIAN, ‘WEEKEND UPDATE’ ANCHOR, STATEN ISLAND NATIVE Colin Jost has been working at “Saturday Night Live” since 2005, when he was hired as a writer after graduating from Harvard. He stayed behind the scenes until March 2014, when he replaced Seth Meyers on the “Weekend Update” desk. At first, Jost, 32, struggled to perfect his on-screen persona. But this past season, paired with new co-anchor Michael Che, he finally got comfortable, embracing his silly, sarcastic personality. “I think people grew up more [this season], myself included,” Jost says. We caught up with the Staten Island native — who does stand-up in Arlington this weekend — the Monday after “SNL’s” 40th season wrapped. RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

It seems like you started to find your rhythm on “Update.” Was there an adjustment period early on when you started working with Michael? There wasn’t as much an adjustment as there was just trying things because you don’t really know what’s going to work until you try. It’s weird because it’s a process to kind of get back to who you are on camera, like who you are as a person. And that takes time. It seems like it should be the easiest thing: Just be you.

come across? Do they like me? Are they going to hate this little thing about me? And then over time you’re like, We’ll, I’m going to be spending a lot of time with this girl, I want her to know who I am and open up and feel more comfortable, and I think that’s what this year was for both of us. You opened up for America. That’s what I did for America. I feel like I should ask England’s permission. I guess that’s the closest thing we have to a father.

In your early episodes, you were a little stiff on camera. Oh yeah.

So what’s the plan for this summer, other than doing standup shows? We always have to do certain things [for “SNL”], but the nice thing is I’m generally off. I really try to have a human summer and travel a little bit and relax a little bit because it definitely wears you out by the end of the year.

Now, we’re getting more of who you are on screen. I think it’s like when you start dating someone. Initially, you might be worried: How do I

“SNL” is still pretty grueling? It’s not like working in a coal mine. You can’t really complain about the hours or the conditions, but it is. Physically, I’m tired but

DANA EDELSON (NBC)

I know you haven’t had much time to reflect, but how do you think this season went? I thought the cast came together a lot more this year and had an identity this year, which was nice.

JAMES BOND: James Bond is on this list so we don’t get angry emails about leaving him off the list. Instead we can get angry emails because we think Daniel Craig is the best Bond ever.

I also feel energetic because it was a fun season. When did you start doing stand-up? I’ve basically been doing it the entire time I’ve been at “SNL.” I started at clubs downtown in New York. It was an interesting time. Zach Galifianakis was still doing shows there. I would see Jenny Slate, John Mulaney,

“It’s weird because it’s a process to kind of get back to who you are on camera, like who you are as a person. And that takes time.”

Nick Kroll, Eugene Mirman and Demetri Martin — that crew was still new and young, but for me it was like, whoa. I started doing it because I saw them and thought it looked really fun. “SNL” fans might think your stand-up is just “Update”-style jokes, but it’s not. No, it’s much more about my life or other people’s lives. Occasionally it’s political but not in general. It’s very general, a mix of observations and stories. That’s just kind of me. You’re more yourself, as opposed to when you’re behind the “Update” desk. Yeah, well, I have legs, too.

JOSEPH TURNER: Turner’s (Robert Redford) day starts out badly in “Three Days of the Condor” when he shows up to his CIA job only to find all his co-workers dead. He is very sad because he made a special trip to bring in Dunkin’ Donuts. HARRY TASKER: In “True Lies,” Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Harry, who keeps his spy career a secret from his wife. This goes about as well as keeping secrets from your wife always goes. RAYMOND SHAW: The best spy doesn’t even know he’s spying. In 1962’s “The Manchurian Candidate,” showing Shaw a certain playing card means he’ll do whatever he’s told next. This is very helpful for both household chores and assassinating the president. GEORGE SMILEY: 2011’s “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” was full of twists, turns and surprises — the biggest one being it got Gary Oldman his first-ever Oscar nomination. Good things come to those who wait and wait and wait and wait and wait.

Late-night brunch with meatloaf tacos and biscuit sliders. Giant 20-ounce bloody marys made with jalapeno-infused moonshine. Something called “grits poppers.” Should we keep going, or do you have enough reasons to check out this new Southern bistro? The mini-chain restaurant is an export from Asheville, N.C., where it opened 15 years ago. The Arlington outpost is the first location to open outside of Tennessee, North Carolina and South Carolina, and there’s another one heading to Virginia Beach shortly.

This Mosaic District restaurant is a collaboration between Travis Croxton (co-owner of Rappahannock Oyster Co.) and chef John Critchley (formerly the executive chef of Bourbon Steak). Translation: Expect lots of bivalves and wood-grilled meats and seafood served alongside vegetables sourced within the Mid-Atlantic. Dishes include beef tartare served with horseradish and vegetable ash as well as baked oysters with nettles, herbs and breadcrumbs.

Named after the capital of Turkey, this family-owned restaurant serves kabobs and hot and cold mezze dishes out of the space in Dupont Circle that formerly held Levante’s. The menu is overseen by chef Jorge Chicas, formerly of Zaytinya, but don’t expect to see many menu repeats: Ankara prides itself on serving contemporary takes on Turkish classics. Take the lamb burger for example, which is actually lamb kofte (meatballs spiced with cumin) shaped into a burger. Influences from the Mediterranean, Persia and the Far East also abound.

Chef Amy Brandwein’s just-opened Italian joint at CityCenterDC is made up of two components: a small grocery full of imported Italian goods, wine and beer, local produce and grab-and-go sauces made in-house, as well as a spacious osteria where seasonal Italian dishes are served. Some good news for the indecisive — Brandwein’s rotating menu hovers around 15 items max (plus sides), including wood-fired meats and lightly seasoned vegetables, so you won’t be overwhelmed with options.

Vegans may want to sit this one out. From veterans of Carmine’s and Hill Country Barbecue comes this 16,000-squarefoot combination BBQ restaurant, marketplace and music venue. Dry rubbed meats — which are priced by weight — include brisket, pulled pork and short rib, which get pit smoked for up to 15 hours in ovens that can hold up to 2,500 pounds of carnage. Sundays bring a Southern-inspired brunch buffet with items like biscuit French toast, bacon sticky buns and a Thanksgiving casserole.

The Lonesome Trio is, from left, Jacob Tilove, Ian Riggs and Ed Helms, all of whom met in college.

The long Lonesome road After two decades of picking, Ed Helms and his bluegrass band are finally on tour and releasing an album MUSIC In late 2009, actor Ed Helms invited some of his friends in bluegrass group Punch Brothers to live in his Los Angeles home while they worked on a new album and he was out of town shooting a movie. When Helms — who plays guitar in his own bluegrass group, the Lonesome Trio — returned home, he stopped by the studio to hear how the sessions were going. “As I was walking out, Noam Pikelny, the banjo player, was like, ‘Here’s some fun outtakes from our sessions that we thought you might get a kick out off,’ ” Helms says. “I get in my car, put the CD in, and I’m like, What the hell? I know that song.” Helms recognized the tender ballad, called “Whiskey Drink,” because he was the one who wrote it. “I probably wrote that song 10 or 12 years ago,” Helms says. “It was a song that I wrote one weekend [when] I was in a certain emotional place. I dumped this song out and it lived on my computer.” The only person he had ever

shared the recording with was his bandmate, mandolinist Jacob Tilove. Yet here Helms was, listening to one of his favorite bands cover his own long-forgotten tune. Tilove, it turns out, had emailed the Punch Brothers the song and the group recorded a version as a thank-you to Helms. “I was so moved,” he says. “Suddenly, hearing somebody else play it, I was like that’s not a bad song. That’s a pretty OK song.” It was also the moment that Helms decided it was time for the Lonesome Trio, which includes Ian Riggs on bass, to finally record its first album. Five years later, the Lonesome Trio’s self-titled debut is set to drop on June 16 and the band is embarking on its first proper tour, which kicks off at the Birchmere on Thursday. “It’s a very long time coming,” Helms says. Helms, Tilove and Riggs started singing and playing together in the early 1990s when they were students at Oberlin College and Conservatory. The friends were part of a loose folk collective, called Weedkiller, that would casually jam and

pick tunes. By 1996, all three had moved to New York City and continued to get together, even as they focused on separate pursuits: Helms did standup comedy, Tilove was in grad school and Riggs studied jazz at The New School. By 1998, they’d adopted the name the Lonesome Trio and started gigging regularly around the city. “We were always doing our own things,” Helms says. “That’s why we never took the music that seriously. Life was always going on but the music kept turning and kept going.” Helms went on to star in “The Office” and the “The Hangover” movies, Tilove became a historian and Riggs works as a composer but the three friends have always kept the Lonesome Trio alive, playing an annual show in New

Folk history Ed Helms, 41, has been making music since he was 9, when he had his first piano lesson. At 13, he got his first guitar. “I started taking lessons and for some reason, I just wasn’t really interested in the rock ’n’ roll stuff. I think I was a little reactionary to all the cool kids at school learning REM songs. It’s very Holden Caulfield, ‘Catcher in the Rye’-ish. I was very much like, What’s the authentic music? What’s the original stuff? And I had a great guitar teacher who had really come up through a great folk tradition in Atlanta, and so he was really excited to teach me all that stuff because all of his pupils just wanted to learn Zeppelin songs.” That same teacher later taught him the banjo, which Helms often broke out on “The Office.” R.G.

York and, for the past couple of years, helming the Bluegrass Situation Superjam at the Bonnaroo music festival in Tennessee. “We started playing a lot more over the last six or seven years and playing with some really great players,” Helms says, including Del McCoury, the Avett Brothers and Punch Brothers. “Getting their support kind of put it over the top for us, gave us a little more confidence.” Now, more than 20 years after first playing with Tilove and Riggs, Helms is excited to finally hit the road with the Lonesome Trio — and he hopes more gigs follow. “Time permitting,” says Helms, who stars in July’s “Vacation” reboot and “The One Percent,” the forthcoming Starz series from Oscar winner Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu. “Time does not permit very often and this was actually really hard to carve out, but we had to do it and I can’t wait.” RUDI GREENBERG (EXPRESS)

SMITHSONIAN NATIONAL POSTAL MUSEUM PHOTOS

This stamp sold for $9.5 million in 2014. On the front, left, is an image of a ship, the colony’s motto and the handwritten signature of a post office clerk. On its reverse side, right, you can see the marks made by its various owners.

A stamp that really stuck The priciest postage ever, from 1856, visits the Postal Museum EXHIBITS Last year, shoe designer Stuart Weitzman anonymously bought a 19th-century stamp for $9.5 million. Then, he slipped it into his back pocket and headed home. “I figured the best way was not to use an armored Weitzman truck. That would call attention — my goodness, an armored truck pulling out from Sotheby’s could give some hooligans something to think about,” he says. Weitzman remained anonymous until today, when his 1856 British Guiana One-Cent Magenta goes on display at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum. Many visitors to the museum will wonder what’s so special about this little rectangle of paper, says chief philately curator Daniel Piazza. “It’s OK visually, but it’s nothing special,” he says. “It has a few words on it, and a little picture of a ship, but it’s been pretty heavily

cancelled.” Even Weitzman’s wife was underwhelmed by the stamp. “When I showed it to her, she said, ‘What are you walking around with that for? It’s all beat up. It looks like it was used. It’s not even American,’ ” he recalls. In addition to holding the record for the most expensive single stamp ever sold, the stamp is special because it’s one of a kind. The South American colony of British Guiana (now Guyana) existed from 1831 to 1966. In 1856, it ran out of stamps from England, so the colony enlisted a newspaper publisher to print stamps locally. As far as anyone knows, all of those stamps — the one-cent magentas — were tossed away with the newspapers and envelopes they were affixed to. Except for one, which was saved by a Scottish boy living in British Guiana in 1873. The budding philatelist discovered the One-Cent

Magenta on his uncle’s old mail and sold it to a collector for six shillings, the equivalent of $1.44. The little stamp’s price skyrocketed from there. American textile magnate Arthur Hind bought it for $35,500 in 1922, probably outbidding King George V, who wanted it for the Royal Philatelic Society’s collection. Chemical fortune heir John du Pont bought it for $935,000 in 1980. He was later convicted for murdering Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz, and died in prison in 2010. His estate put the stamp up for auction last year. The stamp’s checkered past is part of its mystique, Piazza says. “We live in a celebrity culture, and this is a stamp that has had a string of celebrity owners who have been almost as intriguing or maybe even more intriguing than the stamp itself,” Piazza says. The stamp’s newest owner is now a part of that history.

“I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, am I really going to have an opportunity to complete my album?’ ” STUART WEITZMAN, shoe designer and owner of the British Guiana

One-Cent Magenta, for which he paid $9.5 million last year

Though he doesn’t think of himself as a philatelist, Weitzman did collect stamps when he was a boy, he says. “In my international stamp album there was a place for the One-Cent Magenta British Guiana stamp. Of course, no one ever expected to fill that hole. It was there to remind us how unique and valuable a little piece of paper can be,” he says. That’s why, when the stamp came up for auction, Weitzman decided to try to get it. “I thought, ‘Oh my gosh, am I really going to have an opportunity to complete my album?’ That sort of drove me more than the stamp alone, remembering my childhood of stamp collecting and that empty spot on the page.” Soon, Weitzman will release a series of purple shoes, inspired by the stamp. “I asked my accountant if, because I have been inspired by the color of this stamp, if he thought I could take the stamp as a business expense. He laughed and said, ‘No, not unless you want to go to jail.’ ” SADIE DINGFELDER (EXPRESS) Smithsonian National Postal Museum, 2 Massachusetts Ave. NE; Thu. through 2017, free.

The project’s third album, “Currents,” won’t be released until July, but three songs are already available online and show the breadth of the one-man-band’s style: “Disciples” is a two-minute slice of blithe pop-rock, while “Let It Happen” starts as a neo-soul strut and grows into a stuttery, neopsychedelic epic.

The day-long festival features Chicago blues icon Buddy Guy, Austin guitar hero Gary Clark Jr., sister act Heart, rock legend Joan Jett, rapper/actor LL Cool J, New Orleans ambassador Trombone Shorty and D.C.’s own Trouble Funk.

Maddie & Tae, a female duo of Texahoma 19-year-olds, not only scored a hit last year with their debut single, “Girl in a Country Song,” but also stirred some controversy with the song’s complaint that the bro-country songs dominating country radio in recent years treat women as accessories little different than the omnipresent pickup. Now they’re opening for Dierks Bentley, who has scored some bro-country hits. Bentley, though, is a lot smarter than biggest bro-country stars, capable of subtle social commentary such as “Home.” GEOFFREY HIMES (FOR TWP)

Banjo virtuoso Bela Fleck has been gleefully blurring the lines between bluegrass and modern jazz for more than 30 years. The Punch Brothers’ Chris Thile, a child prodigy and constant innovator, has brought about a similar transformation for millennials using the mandolin. Both Fleck and Thile are forces to be reckoned with live. Fleck’s prowess comes alive in his improvisational interplay on stage, and this time it’s with his wife, Abigail Washburn. Thile punctuates songs from “The Phosphorescent Blues,” his band’s most ambitious album to date, with colorful asides and engaging anecdotes. CHRISTOPHER KOMPANEK (FOR TWP)

When Shania Twain, a struggling Canadian country singer in Nashville, met Robert “Mutt” Lange, the British producer of Def Leppard and AC/DC, in 1993, the encounter led not only to marriage, but also a partnership that changed country radio forever. When Lange wrapped his new wife’s sassy, feminist country anthems in the loud drums and louder guitars of ‘70s arena-rock, the payoff was a commercial bonanza reflected on the country charts: seven No. 1 singles, 16 top-10 singles and five top-two albums. For better or worse (the couple divorced in 2010), the Twain/ Lange formula soon had hundreds of imitators. Now Twain is hitting the road for the first time in 11 years. G.H.

Somehow, Taylor Swift is still underappreciated. Often dismissed as a pretty face peering out from cosmetic ads and tabloid covers, the 25-year-old Swift is actually one of the best songwriters of her generation. Though her subject matter is narrowly focused on the romantic and coming-of-age trials of young women, she maps that territory with remarkable perceptiveness. On last year’s “1989,” she dropped any pretense that she was still a country artist and proved that even dance-pop can accommodate smart lyrics that mine the thrilling uncertainty of first dates. G.H.

In 2014, the first lady of Young Money left her spaceships and Harajuku-inspired get-ups behind and returned to her New York hip-hop roots. Some of her best recent offerings have been bass-laden tracks with two of the other acts on her current tour: “Big Daddy,” a “The Pinkprint” bonus cut featuring Philadelphia rapper/ Minaj’s groom-to-be, Meek Mill, and her catchy chorus on Rae Sremmurd’s “Throw Sum Mo.” Minaj’s “The Pinkprint Tour” is a must-see, if only for the chance to witness Omeeka’s (Onika “Nicki Minaj” Maraj + Meek Mill) onstage chemistry firsthand.

Fillmore, 8656 Colesville Road, Silver Spring; Aug. 23, 8 p.m., $28.50.

Since Ryn Weaver’s infectious, kaleidoscope-driven pop track “OctaHate” dropped on Soundcloud last June, the song has amassed more than 3.5 million streams, making fans out of Charli XCX, Jessie Ware and Paramore’s Hayley Williams in the process. It’s enough to make the 22-year-old California native’s debut album,”The Fool,” one of this summer’s most anticipated pop releases. With a voice like Florence Welch and the help of Reston-born hit maker Benny Blanco (who has worked with Iggy Azalea, Ed Sheeran and Katy Perry), Weaver is poised for a starmaking year. R.G.

Earl Sweatshirt’s career began in 2010 when his first video, “Earl,” was released via Vimeo. It was trippy, unsettling and, apparently, “NSFW if you work with Steve Harvey.” The 21-year-old Los Angeles rapper’s alternative hip-hop featured the trademarks of his crew, Odd Future: outrageous and occasionally downright fetid lyrics, skillfully delivered over solid, traditional hip-hop beats. Since his debut, all of Earl’s releases have been met with critical acclaim. However, he is most proud of his second studio release, the perfectly titled, “I Don’t Like S- - -, I Don’t Go Outside: An Album by Earl Sweatshirt.” He told NPR’s Microphone Check that “this is the first thing that I’ve said that I fully stand behind, like the good and the bad of it” — making his tour a summertime highlight.

Me + my friend

The Nickelodeon actressturned-pop starlet’s career is following a familiar formula: Take a multitalented young performer, build a fan base with a tween-friendly television show and then launch a singing career, complete with an “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” phase full of sexy costumes, PG-13 lyrics and a high-profile romance. It’s been effective. Grande’s horn-filled hits were everywhere last summer, from the Iggy Azalea-assisted “Problem” to her appearance on Jessie J’s smash “Bang Bang” with Nicki Minaj. Now, the “Break Free” singer is bringing her signature leotards and commendable vocal range to Verizon Center, where she will undoubtedly be met by an audience of screaming young fans. L.M.

The undisputed piano man has been filling arenas for decades with an act that’s equal parts virtuoso and showman.

My Morning Jacket, Jason Isbell Merriweather Post Pavilion, 10475 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia, Md.; July 26, 7 p.m., $40-$55.

At April’s Global Citizen 2015 Earth Day rally on the Mall, My Morning Jacket played three songs from its then-unreleased seventh album, “The Waterfall.” Though still new to the band, “Believe (Nobody Knows),” “Compound Fracture” and

“Big Decisions” soared like the best of the Southern jam-rockers’ arenaready anthems. Given the veteran Kentucky band’s reputation for epic concerts, those songs should sound even better come July, when Jim James and Co. return to Merriweather for the fifth time in six years. As a bonus, singer-songwriter Jason Isbell opens the show just days after releasing his new album “Something More Than Free.” R.G.

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW; July 31 & Aug. 1, 8 p.m., sold out.

Year after year, the legacy of hip-hop is carried on by its youth, the crop of gifted lyrical acrobats courageous enough to tell their stories. Enter J. Cole, the Roc Nation rapper who delivers each rhyme with brazen transparency and potent lyricism. Joining him on tour are a few of his fellow millennial chart toppers: GOOD Music’s Big Sean, West Coast rapper YG and R&B singer Jeremih. M.F.

Willie Nelson, Old Crow Medicine Show Merriweather Post Pavilion, 10475 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia, Md.; Aug. 19, 8 p.m., $45-$75.

Sure enough, the 82-year-old country legend and road warrior is touring again. This summer, Willie Nelson will briefly team with string band stalwarts Old Crow Medicine Show. Nelson doesn’t evoke roots music in concert so much as embody it, and who else has revived “Stardust” and other vintage pop classics in such singular fashion? M.J.

Santana Wolf Trap, Filene Center, 1551 Trap Road, Vienna; Aug. 25, 7:30 p.m., sold out. Pier Six Pavilion, 731 Eastern Ave., Baltimore; Aug. 26, 7:30 p.m., $55-$150.

After a detour for 2012’s “Shape Shifter,” Santana’s 2014 album “Corazon” returned to the formula that the San Francisco-born band has employed since 1999’s smash “Supernatural.” Most of the record’s 12 tracks feature guest vocalists, including a Pitbull-assisted remix of classic rock radio staple “Oye Como Va.” Of course, the jazzy and psychedelic ensemble could probably tour endlessly on just the reputation of leader Carlos Santana. At 67, the Kennedy Center honoree is as skilled a guitarist as ever. R.G.

Look around, and you’ll see miniature masterpieces all over the city — on the bottoms of street lamps, on the backs of signs and in Metro stations. Whether hand drawn or mass-produced, sticker art gives city-dwellers a gallery show in the most unlikely places. Local artist and curator iwillnot has, once again, collected tens of thousands of stickers from around the world and will be covering an entire gallery wall with his finds. S.D.

A mirrored pit of nearly a million clear plastic balls will stand in for the ocean at this National Building Museum installation by Snarkitecture. Depending on your comfort level with germs, you can jump on in, dangle your feet off the “pier” or play paddleball on the 50-foot-wide “shoreline.” There will also be a beachside snack stand (of course) and monochromatic umbrellas and beach chairs. The museum will stay open until 9 p.m. on Wednesdays during the exhibit. S.D.

When Robert Frank toured America in 1955 and 1956, he did more than snap photos of a country at a crossroads. His book, “The Americans,” showed how photography can be a medium of expression as well as documentation. This exhibit attempts to capture the repercussions of Frank’s work by surveying the most important photo books from the ’50s to today. S.D.

Eat some crabs

GET OUT OF TOWN Summer in D.C. is great, but it’s also the prime time to get out of town. Not that you have to go far. Case in point: The Washington Post has put together an entire summer’s worth of activities and plans to illustrate what makes spending warm, lazy days in Maryland and Virginia so great. MARYLAND: FRITZ HAHN (THE WASHINGTON POST); VIRGINIA: STEPHANIE MERRY AND JOHN TAYLOR (TWP)

Maryland Go to the beach

State Park, 11175 Point Lookout Road, Scotland, Md.; open through Sept., admission is $5 per person on weekends and holidays, $3 per vehicle on weekdays. Nonresidents pay an extra $2 per day; 301-872-5688, dnr.maryland.gov.

Harris Crab House, on a dock overlooking the Kent Narrows, offers all-you-can-eat crabs and two sides for $45 on weekdays. The hush puppies are excellent; those who prefer snow crabs to blue crabs can get those, too. Harris Crab House, 433 Kent Narrow Way N., Grasonville, Md; 410-827-9500, harriscrabhouse.com.

The Point Crab House and Grill in Arnold, north of Annapolis, is more upscale, occupying part of the Ferry Point Marina on the Magothy River. In addition to live, steamed-to-order crabs and soft-shell sandwiches, the Point has a full seafood menu. It justifiably won “Best Outdoor Dining” and was a finalist in other categories, including “Best Dock Bar,” in the Annapolis Capital’s 2015 Readers Choice Awards. The Point Crab House and Grill, 700 Mill Creek Rd., Arnold, Md.; 410-544-5448, thepointcrabhouse.com.

Ocean City has something for everyone: familyfriendly movies and fireworks on the beach; brew pubs with gorgeous sunset views across the bay; a rad skate park; waterfront restaurants; and the boardwalk. Sure, the suggestive T-shirts, occasionally rowdy crowds and hordes of newly graduated high-schoolers are not to everyone’s tastes. But, hey, there are other beaches right up Route 1. For a less commercial destination, try Point Lookout State Park. The bay location doesn’t offer much in the way of waves, but it’s perfect for swimming, canoeing, fishing, hiking nature trails, picnicking and grilling on the beach. There’s a lighthouse to tour and a museum detailing the park’s Civil War history. Point Lookout

NIKKI KAHN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

(BUT NOT TOO FAR)

SCOTTY REIFSNYDER ILLUSTRATIONS (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

A true Marylander can’t go a few weeks without a crab feast. Jimmy Cantler’s, a waterfront crab house outside Annapolis, is legendary — but so are the long lines and endless waits outside for a table on summer weekends. Instead, go a little further off the beaten path when you’re craving blue crabs.

Ocean City’s strip of sandy beach rests next to the boardwalk, which offers something for everyone.

Further out, the Ocean Odyssey restaurant in Cambridge grew out of the Todd Seafood company, which produces the crab meat served to diners. (It’s owned by the third generation of the family.) The Outdoor Crab and Beer Garden, which sounds like heaven on a summer day, offers steamed crabs and seafood, crab cakes and the famous Bay on a Bun, which holds a stack of soft shells, fried fish, oysters and multiple sauces. Ocean Odyssey, 316 Sunshine Highway, Cambridge, Md.; 410-228-8633, toddseafood.com.

Sample Baltimore’s culture From Edgar Allan Poe to John Waters, Baltimore has served as Maryland’s capital of culture. Plunge in during the weekend-long Artscape Festival, which features live music, obscure films, art cars, underground theater, ballroom dancing and activities for children, plus food trucks, late-night DJs and other surprises. Look for an announcement of 2015’s schedule sometime in June. Last year’s concerts included Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Ozomatli and Anthony Hamilton. The festival is clustered within walking distance of Penn Station, making it easy to ride the MARC train up for the day. July 17-19, free; visit artscape.org for more details.

TONI L. SANDYS (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Take an Eastern Shore road trip

The Frederick Keys, a Class A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles, bring minor league charms to Harry Grove Stadium.

Hit the Orioles grand slam Marylanders love their Orioles: Cal, Brooks, Eddie and Earl are practically saints in some parts of the state, with no last names needed. Every baseball fan owes themselves a summertime pilgrimage to Oriole Park at Camden Yards, an absolute gem of a ballpark, but it can be just as much fun to travel to different parts of the state to see the next generation of Manny Machados and Zach Brittons. Four Orioles minor league teams play in Maryland: The Frederick Keys, Delmarva Shorebirds and Aberdeen Ironbirds are in various levels of Class A and the Bowie Baysox compete in Class AA. Each park has its own flavor: Frederick Keys fans shake their car keys during rallies, while Aberdeen’s Ripken Stadium is surrounded by youth baseball stadiums resembling Wrigley Field, Oriole Park and other landmarks. All four teams pack their schedules with fun promotions, including fireworks and bobblehead giveaways. Pick a game, get in the car and go. Aberdeen Ironbirds, 873 Long Drive, Aberdeen, Md.; 410-297-9292, ironbirdsbaseball.com. Bowie Baysox, 4101 Crain Highway, Bowie, Md.; 301-805-6000, baysox.com. Delmarva Shorebirds, 6400 Hobbs Road, Salisbury, Md.; 410-219-3112, theshorebirds.com. Frederick Keys: 21 Stadium Drive, Frederick, Md.; 301-662-0013, frederickkeys.com.

Get on the water

The Skipjack Nathan cruises down the Choptank River from Cambridge and offers oyster-dredging demonstrations on Saturdays.

CYNDY CARRINGTON MILLER (DORCHESTER SKIPJACK COMMITTEE)

The perfect way to explore Maryland is to explore the Chesapeake Bay, the largest estuary in the U.S., and its many tributaries. And every Saturday from May through early October, Watermark Cruises runs a day-long cruise from Annapolis to St. Michaels, home of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. Day on the Bay to St. Michaels, Saturdays and some weekdays through Oct. 3, departs Annapolis City Dock at 9:30 a.m., $30-$75; 410-268-7601, cruisesonthebay.com.

For a more authentic maritime experience, head to Cambridge and board the Nathan. It’s a traditional sailboat known as a skipjack, the type of craft that served as the workhorse of the Maryland seafood industry in the 19th and early-20th centuries. On Saturdays and Sundays from May through October, the Nathan takes visitors for a trip down the Choptank River and, on Saturdays, offers a demonstration of oyster-dredging techniques. Skipjack Nathan of Dorchester, Long Wharf, High and Water streets, Cambridge, Md.; through Oct., Saturdays, 1-3 p.m., $10-$30, some Sundays,1-2 p.m., $7-$15; 410-228-7141, skipjack-nathan.org.

If you’ve driven to the Maryland or Delaware beaches, you’ve passed exit signs for St. Michaels, Wye Mills, Denton, Easton and Cambridge, towns that have histories stretching back to the Colonial era. They’re all worth a pit stop, or a destination for a weekend road trip. Easton’s tree-lined streets are packed with art galleries, antique shops and boutiques, in addition to acclaimed restaurants and performing arts centers, including one for children. St. Michaels is a vacation escape full of B&Bs and shops, but its heritage shines through at the 18-acre Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. It’s also home to Lyon Distilling, which specializes in rum, and the Eastern Shore Brewing Company. Cambridge boasts the Harriet Tubman Museum, the starting point of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad Byway, and waterfront recreation, such as the Long Wharf and its Choptank River Lighthouse museum. It also has excellent seafood restaurants and the RAR craft brewery. Denton, the seat of Caroline County, is another hot spot for history buffs: It’s home to the Choptank River Heritage Center and the Museum of Rural Life, which features a 19th-century log cabin. There’s not much in Wye Mills, other than the 17th-century grist mill, which still grinds flour, grits and corn meal; the pretty little 18th-century Wye Parrish church; and the remains of the Wye Oak, the state tree of Maryland, a white oak tree that was more than 400 years old when it fell during a storm in 2002.

Virginia

SCOTTY REIFSNYDER ILLUSTRATIONS (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

The ships Discovery, Godspeed and Susan Constant sailed up the James River — named for King James of England — and stopped at what is now Jamestown Island on May 14, 1607. The United States got its humble start in a triangular wooden fort on a swampy island, battling mosquitoes, Indians and uncertainty. Visitors to Virginia’s Historic Triangle — which includes Colonial Williamsburg and Yorktown, the site of the surrender that ended the Revolutionary War — can see two versions of our first city. Jamestown Settlement is a living-history site that features a replica of the fort, with reenactors wearing period costumes. Historic Jamestowne is where archaeologists are still peeling away layers and making discoveries at the original site of the fort. Colonial Williamsburg also takes the living-history approach, but it’s the real deal: Visitors can explore Duke of Gloucester Street and go inside the Governor’s Palace, the Capitol and Bruton Parish Church, to name just a few of the original and restored buildings.

Nothing says lazy summer days like an easy float down a barely moving river. Tubing is most fun with a big group, so gather your friends and head to James River Reeling and Rafting in Scottsville where you can hop on a bus to be shuttled to a drop-in location. James River

Cape Charles is a low-key town with a beach that’s beautifully maintained — and without big crowds. At low tide, the water stays shallow for what feels like ages, which means it’s also a great place to bring the little ones. Cape Charles Beach, NORM SHAFER (FOR THE WASHINGTON POST)

Charlottesville’s popular Downtown Mall, which has a music pavilion at one end, is packed with restaurants, boutiques and galleries.

Dive in, float away

Reeling and Rafting, 265 Ferry St., Scottsville, Va.; $24 for tube, shuttle and rope, reelingandrafting.com.

Enjoy the benefits of a student-free college town Charlottesville is always a charming place to visit. But the summer months are especially lovely, what with all those pesky college kids gone. What’s left is small-town quietude, but with plenty still to do: hiking at Humpback Rock, taking a dip in Chris Greene Lake or doing a little of both by hiking from Sugar Hollow Reservoir to Blue Hole for swimming. There are wineries to explore along the Monticello Wine Trail and a slew of new cideries, including the increasingly popular Bold Rock, plus good food around every corner. History abounds at Thomas Jefferson’s home and the university he built, but there’s also plenty of culture, including free “Fridays after Five” concerts every week through Sept. 11 at the nTelos Wireless Pavilion at one end of the Downtown Mall. Before the show, stroll along the eight-block outdoor shopping district, which is closed to vehicles, and you’ll find boutiques, galleries and one other Charlottesville must: mint-chocolate-chip ice cream at the retro diner Chaps.

Historic Jamestowne, 1368 Colonial National Historic Parkway, Jamestown, Va.; $14, historicjamestowne.org. Colonial Williamsburg, 310 S England St., Williamsburg, Va.; $12-$40, colonialwilliamsburg.com. Jamestown Settlement, 2110 Jamestown Road, Williamsburg, Va; $7.75-$21, historyisfun.org.

Go for a (thrill) ride The fake Eiffel Tower looming over Interstate 95 gives some sense of the tawdry appeal of Kings Dominion, which is celebrating its 40th birthday this year. The Doswell theme park is a little like Las Vegas: It’s totally tacky and also utterly delightful, as long as you keep your visit short. The roller coasters are the best in the state, and all of your childhood favorites (Grizzly, Anaconda, Shockwave) are still there, except for the backwards version of the Rebel Yell. Pro tips: Go on a weekday and bring some over-the-counter painkillers. A day of thrill rides can make a grown-up surprisingly achy. Kings Dominion, 16000 Theme Park Way, Doswell, Va.; $43$55, kingsdominion.com.

BILL O’LEARY (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Jamestown Settlement features costumed historical interpreters and reenactors.

Have a round in Richmond

Turn left with NASCAR

Stop in any Richmond restaurant and check out the taps. See those names — Ardent, Isley, Midnight — lined up next to the now-familiar Hardywood, Center of the Universe and Legend? The craft beer scene in the state capital has exploded, making it comparable in quantity and quality to any beer region in the area. And the brewers are collaborating while also making friends throughout the community. Midnight Brewery, for example, partnered with the State Fair of Virginia (Sept. 25-Oct. 4 in Caroline County) to create Virginia Midway, a wheat ale with a touch of local honey that serves as the annual event’s official beer.

Auto racing may seem like a novelty to some around the country, but Virginia’s racing roots run deep. A number of prominent drivers have cruised to victory on NASCAR’s top circuit, including brothers Ward and Jeff Burton and Ricky Rudd, after earning their stripes on the state’s short tracks. (Ward’s son, Jeb, is a NASCAR rookie this season.) And Virginia has two tracks that host two races each in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series: Martinsville Speedway and Richmond International Raceway. On Sept. 12, the Richmond track will host the Federated Auto Parts 400, which should be an intense final race before NASCAR’s postseason.

Live like a president Virginians take pride in their presidents. Eight future leaders of the United States were born in the Old Dominion — more than any other state. All eight have at least one still standing Virginia home with which they’re associated. Keep this unscientific ranking of the state’s top three estates in mind when touring the Commonwealth.

SARAH L. VOISIN (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Monticello

Head for the mountains in Shenandoah National Park On a map, Shenandoah National Park stretches from Front Royal to near Waynesboro as a thin, jagged tract of green. The northern tip of the 105-mile-long sanctuary sits just 90 minutes from D.C, but once you’re confronted by the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains, city life feels worlds away. And that’s when hiking enthusiasts will want to head to Old Rag. Those in the know will freely warn of the drawbacks: It gets crowded; it’s a tough climb; and the last few miles of fire road can be a real slog. But the path is well-traveled for good reason. Scrambling up the granite staircase and hopping from boulder to boulder makes you feel like a kid again. It’s just a sweaty good time. Plus, the view from the summit can’t be beat. A couple of tips: Bring lots of water and snacks. This is a nine-mile hike if you’re doing the full loop, and it can take about seven hours. And, even more important, get there early — as in, crack-of-dawn early. That’s the only way to secure a good parking spot and avoid running into lines at some of the rock-induced bottlenecks.

Thomas Jefferson’s home is a marvel in every imaginable way. From the landscaping and gardens to the architecture of the buildings and even the carefully considered new visitor’s center, Monticello is arguably the most essential place to visit in Virginia. 931 Thomas Jefferson Parkway, Charlottesville, Va.; $8-$25; 434-984-9800, monticello.org.

Mount Vernon George Washington’s estate, which is more than 250 years old, is a gigantic and beautiful 21-room mansion, with unmatched Potomac River views from the piazza. 3200 Mount

If you’re not feeling quite so spry, there are less strenuous climbs. Whiteoak Canyon is a stunning alternative, dotted with waterfalls and swimming holes. The full hike is nearly as long as Old Rag but less challenging, and visitors can opt for a short walk to the first falls before turning around. Old Rag and

Vernon Highway, Mount Vernon, Va.; $9-$17; 703-780200, mountvernon.org.

Whiteoak Canyon, Shenandoah National Park; $20 park entrance fee per vehicle; 540-999-3500, nps.gov/shen.

Montpelier

If you think the natural world looks good above ground, wait till you go subterranean. The Shenandoah Valley is also home to remarkable rock formations, and you can see them at the caverns in the area. The largest is Luray Caverns. Discovered in 1878, it’s now a tourist attraction with its otherworldly natural structures, including stones that look like curtains, an organ that makes music with stalactites and a massive, oddly creepy column that goes by the name of Pluto’s Ghost. Visiting the caverns also has another benefit in the summertime: It’s a lot cooler underground. Luray Caverns, 101 Cave Hill Road, Luray, Va.; $14-$26; 540-743-6551, luraycaverns.com.

After a massive restoration completed in 2008, James Madison’s home more closely resembles the estate that the fourth president and his wife, Dolley, lived in after his two terms in office. 11407 Constitution Highway, Orange, Va.; $7-$20; 540-6722728. montpelier.org.

“A surrealistic landscape...the visual delights dazzle... A taste of Jarry’s vision.” DC Metro Theatre Arts - 4 stars A humorous and heartfelt staging of an American classic by DC's masters of physical comedy. Wilder's text, the Fools' twist. WSC Avant Bard presents the classic French comedy by Jean Giraudoux in a new translation by Laurence Senelick that gives the 99% their due. Based on the hit 1968 film of the same name, this Mel Brooks comedic masterpiece follows the hilarious adventures of washed-up Broadway producer Max Bialystock, and his mousy accountant Leo Bloom, as they scheme to get rich quick by producing the most notorious flop in the history of show biz!

‘Don Quixote’ Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW; June 9-14; various times, $30-$155.

Comedy and ballet don’t really make for an obvious mashup, but the Royal Ballet’s staging of “Don Quixote” is a hilarious and refreshing alternative to dances about dying or Christmas candy. L.M.

‘The Producers’

JOAN MARCUS

Olney Theatre Center, 2001 Olney-Sandy Spring Road, Olney, Md.; June 24-July 26, $18-$75.

‘Once’ Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW; July 7-Aug. 16; various times, $65-$150.

Based on the 2007 first date-appropriate movie of the same name, “Once” follows the romance between a struggling Irish musician and a young woman who seems ready to look past his whole angsty-hipster shtick. “Once” won eight Tony Awards in 2012 after its Broadway debut, which is either because of the Grammy-winning songs and actors who play their own instruments or the onstage bar that serves the audience drinks during intermission.

Sure, “A Chorus Line” and “42nd Street” are great, but as far as musicals about Broadway go, “The Producers” has that sarcastic silliness that only a show based on a Mel Brooks movie can have. L.M.

Upright Citizens Brigade Improv Crash Course Sixth and I Historic Synagogue, 600 I St. NW; July 5, 2 p.m., $50.

Take a crash course in improv from the performers at Upright Citizens Brigade, where you’ll learn

the same skills that got Amy Poehler and Ed Helms where they are today. The class fee also gets you a seat at the UCB touring company’s Sixth and I show at 7 p.m. on the same day. L.M.

Capital Fringe Festival Logan Fringe Arts Space, 1358 Florida Ave. NE, and other locations; July 9-Aug. 2, various times, buttons $5-$7, $17 per performance.

The annual Capital Fringe Festival is keeping its schedule under wraps until June 22, but trust us, this is one of those events you’ll want to bookmark even before you know the details. Here’s what we do know: This year, the festival will last nearly a month, which means more of D.C.’s most off-the-wall experimental theater. Plus, festivalgoers will be christening a new space in Northeast, where there’ll be free parties. As always, Fringe shows require the one-time purchase of a button along with one’s tickets. L.M.

‘Silence! The Musical’ Studio Theatre, 1501 14th St. NW; July 15-Aug. 9, various times, $20-$40.

‘Oliver!’ Round House Theatre, 4545 East West Highway, Bethesda; July 24-Aug 16, various times, $35-$45.

This classic musical adaptation of “Oliver Twist” from Adventure Theatre is perfect for kids, but may require a talk about how singing a cute song does not make pickpocketing OK. L.M.

The best thing about watching one

of opera’s saddest stories at Wolf Trap is that under the stars of the semi-covered venue, you can pull the old “My allergies must be acting up” excuse. L.M.

Joel McHale Warner Theatre, 513 13th St. NW; Aug. 8, 8 p.m., $37-$57.

Before he told cynical jokes as Jeff on NBC’s “Community,” Joel McHale made his name telling cynical jokes about celebrities on E!’s “The Soup.” He still saves his sharpest barbs for the rich and famous, so when his stand-up tour hits the Warner Theatre in August, be on guard if your last name is Kardashian, Lohan or Hilton. L.M.

T.J. Miller Lincoln Theatre, 1215 U St. NW; Aug. 9, 7:30 p.m., $29.50

Comedian T.J. Miller may play a big nerd on HBO’s “Silicon Valley,” but he’s made his name as one of the bro-iest stand-up acts around, joking about casual alcoholism and losing his ID at a haunted house. To

Ron Funches DC Improv, 1140 Connecticut Ave. NW; Aug. 27-30, 8 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., $20.

BEGINS JULY 10

Perhaps the only comedian we’d like to get a bear hug from, Ron Funches slings jokes with a trademark giggle, because, as he says, “I want a demeanor that says ‘I’ve never been through anything at all, and I’m just a pug riding a decorative pillow.’” For such a relaxed guy, he’s got a lot on his plate: His sitcom “Undateable” was renewed for a third season last month, he regularly appears on the Comedy Central show “@midnight” and, in August, he makes his headlining debut at DC Improv. L.M.

Shakespeare Theatre’s Sidney Harman Hall, 610 F St. NW; Sept. 1-13, various times, free.

Shakespeare Theatre’s annual Free For All is your chance to see the Bard’s best — and in this case, his trippiest — work without spending a dime. Snag tickets through the theater’s online lottery, or by lining up at the box office, where a limited number of tickets will be given away. For enthusiasts of social media and iambic pentameter, follow Shakespeare Theatre on Facebook and Twitter for potential giveaways. L.M.

It would have been tough to miss Kevin Hart’s rise to the A-list if you’ve been anywhere near a TV screen in the past few years, where it seems like he’s always got a new comedy to plug (most recently “Get Hard” and “The Wedding Ringer”). If you can’t wait until August to see Hart’s brand of frantic, fast-talking comedy, head to Baltimore this Saturday for his show at the Royal Farms Arena. L.M.

Instead, this culinary tour of Penn Quarter offers all-inclusive food and drinks at China Chilcano, Del Campo, Jaleo, Oyamel, Oya, Proof, SEI, Zaytinya, Cuba Libre, The Partisan, Poste Brasserie and Ping Pong Dim Sum from 6 to 9 p.m. After you’re stuffed, Andres will host a party at the Carnegie Library with live music by City of the Sun.

Wed. MUSIC

Mumford & Sons England’s most popular folk band

has shed its Americana roots with new album “Wilder Mind.” Mumford & Sons’ melodies have always been grounded in a catchy pop structure, so it’s not quite a Dylan-at-Newport moment, but the switch to electric is nevertheless pronounced: The drums are more insistent and the guitars echo through layers of reverb and blend into Marcus Mumford’s croon. Merriweather Post Pavilion, 10475 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia, Md.; Wed., 7 p.m., sold out. MUSIC

New Kids on the Block, TLC and Nelly MTV staples from the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s collide for the Main Event, a concert tour featuring grown-up boy band New Kids on the Block, reunited R&B group TLC and rapper Nelly. Verizon Center, 601 F St. NW; Wed., 7 p.m., $29.50-$109.50.

TELEVISION Caitlyn Jenner made her debut Monday with photos from her Vanity Fair cover story, and by Tuesday, the world was given a further glimpse through a video clip from the upcoming reality show that documents her transition from Bruce Jenner. The eight-part series, which will air on E starting July 26, is called “I Am Cait,” and E! promises it will show Jenner adjusting to her new life and talking in greater depth about what it means for her and her family. “So many people go through life and they never deal with their own issues, no matter what the issues are,” Jenner says while applying makeup in the promo. “Ours happen to be gender identity, but how many people go through life and just waste their entire life because they never deal with themselves, to be who they are?” CINDY BOREN

Introducing the world to Caitlyn

Why she went with ‘C’ When Caitlyn Jenner, formerly Bruce, revealed her name, some saw its spelling as a pointed decision. The “K” is oh-so important to Kris Jenner, Bruce’s ex-wife, and her clan. Caitlyn explained in her Vanity Fair cover story that she went back and forth on the spelling, but ultimately settled on using a “C” as a way to separate herself from media associations of her former life and a way to break from tradition.

Is it enough to just seek forgiveness? Some aren’t satisfied with Cameron Crowe’s apology for ‘Aloha’ cast FILM “Aloha” director Cameron Crowe has issued an apology for casting Emma Stone, who is white, to play a character who is part Native Hawaiian and part Chinese. Crowe was sla mmed by many for the casting choice. In a Daily Beast review titled “The Unbearable Whiteness of Cameron Crowe’s ‘Aloha’: A Hawaii-Set Film Starring Asian Emma Stone,” critic Jen Yamato wrote, “His ‘love letter’ to Hawaii feels about as authentic as a mainlander’s #TBT to that one

exotic Oahu vacay years ago, sipping Mai Tais on the beach at sunset while watching the hula show.” The practice of whitewashing characters has certainly received attention in recent years, whether it be outcry over casting Rooney Mara to play Tiger Lily in the upcoming “Pan,” Johnny Depp as Tonto in a remake of “The Lone Ranger,” Catherine Zeta-Jones as Griselda Blanco in the coming production of “The Godmother” or most recently, Adam Sandler in redface on the set of “The Ridiculous Six.” So, was this simply a case of “it’s better to ask for forgiveness than for permission”? In the apology Crowe posted on his website Tuesday night, it appears that

FREDERICK M. BROWN (GETTY IMAGES)

Cameron Crowe was slammed for casting Emma Stone to play a Native Hawaiian/ Chinese character.

Stone was a deliberate choice. “I have heard your words and your disappointment, and I offer you a heart-felt apology to all who felt this was an odd or misguided casting choice. As far back as 2007, Captain Allison Ng was written to be a super-proud ¼ Hawaiian who was frustrated that, by all outward appearances, she looked nothing like one.” The website Complex points out, however, that “Aloha” may not be the first time Crowe has cast a white actress to play an Asian character. They cite the example of Crowe’s new Showtime movie, “Roadies,” which features Jacqueline Byers as Natalie Shin. Shin is a typically Korean last name. SORAYA NADIA McDONALD (THE WASHINGTON POST)

Sandberg, the COO of Facebook, on Wednesday posted a long message to her husband, who died suddenly of severe head trauma while on vacation a month ago. “These past thirty days, I have spent many of my moments lost in that void. And I know that many future moments will be consumed by the vast emptiness as well,” Sandberg wrote. “But when I can, I want to choose life and meaning.”

As part of their training, 78 new pilots and 30 new cabin crew members hired by the airline must start each day with a 6:30 a.m. yoga class. It’s part of an effort to help them “cope better with the stress of the job,” Air India says.

going to get all the answers handed to you on a silver platter. You’re going to have to examine the evidence.

WEDNESDAY’S SOLUTION

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You may have trouble getting someone in your care to understand that the decisions you are making are entirely for his or her good. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You’re in the mood to travel about and see the sights, but it’s not likely that you’ll remain entirely objective.

FOUR RACK TOTAL Make a 2-7-letter word from the letters in each row. Add points of each word using scoring directions at right. Seven-letter words get a 50-point bonus. Blank tiles used as any letter have no point value. Scrabble is a trademark of Hasbro in the U.S. and Canada.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others may be surprised at the change in your attitude, but they’re sure to get used to it when they realize the good it can do.

TODAY: We just can’t shake the onshore flow, which means a mostly cloudy day with scattered light showers likely. Winds stay light from the northeast. Tonight brings more of the same as mostly cloudy skies and a chance of showers persist. Amid the dampness, temperatures will slowly fall.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You can avoid a run-in with someone who might prove a formidable adversary if trouble is allowed to escalate. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You may have many questions to ask of yourself, and the answers will only come if you are willing to be honest.

ONLINE DATING

Dealbreaker: Any shameless self-promotion

‘Cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater’ didn’t fit Bobby Flay got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Tuesday — and while it happened, a plane flew over pulling a banner reading “Cheater,” the New York Post reported. Flay is in the midst of a contentious divorce from Stephanie March. It’s not clear whether she was involved in the commissioning of the banner. (EXPRESS)

Mariah Carey has joined Match.com — not just for love, but to promote her latest single. The pop diva joined the dating website early Tuesday as she launched the music video for “Infinity,” which debuted on Match and VEVO. Carey’s profile says she’s divorced and has two children. She posted four photos, including one of her singing and another of her taking a selfie. The 45-year-old said in a statement: “I hope every woman who is single and listens to this song goes out and finds her infinity, whether on Match or the traditional way.” In her new music video, Carey considers three potential Match suitors.

REPORTING

The first story was better A widely circulated report that Chris Brown was “smoking a ton of pot” on a private jet (as a source told Us Weekly) is false, said Brown’s rep Wednesday. According to the rep, Brown and a friend were smoking cigarettes on the plane prior to takeoff. They put them out, but the friend offended the pilot, who refused to take off until the friend got off the plane. (EXPRESS)

verbatim “If you spend enough time in whatever environment your character would exist in … then the molecules of that environment must transfer somehow.”

Beauty brand MAC is courting Caitlyn Jenner in hopes of securing her as a spokeswoman, the New York Post reported. According to an unnamed source, MAC and Jenner had “several high-level meetings over the past few months.” The company has “been debating the pros and cons and whether it would be a good fit or not. There’s a camp that’s so excited and another that’s a bit more cautious,” the source said. (EXPRESS)
