Cat Count in DC, TikTok MeetUps, Weiner Dogs Takeover the Wharf

The DCist has a story about the official DC Cat Count which concluded after 3 years of counting. Over 200,000 cats live in DC and 3000 of them are feral.

There are 6 payphones still in operation in DC. According to WTOP the locations are:
1432 H St. NW, in front of a Cheesecake Factory,
2452 18th St. NW, in Adams Morgan, right between Shenanigans Irish Pub and Julia’s Empanadas.
Four phones are on Mount Pleasant Street in Northwest in front of a supermarket, dry cleaner, community center and ice cream shop.

Axios DC has a story about a new meetup group of young TikTokers meeting up in DC called DMV Besties. The community of young adult friendship-seekers is now more than 700 strong.

As we enter the Halloween season, what is the psychology of being scared? We talked with psychiatrist Dr. Asha Patton-Smith from Kaiser Permanente.

This year’s 9th Annual Wiener 500 Dachshund Dash at the District Wharf is happening on Saturday. Participants can watch over seventy Dachshunds race on the District Pier track. Spectators can catch all the action on our 17-foot jumbotron screen with live video footage and commentary from emcee Tommy McFly.

Beginning October 1, electric scooters in the District will need to be locked to a pole or bicycle rack.
