Closer Inspection is a column I wrote in the Washington Post Magazine that highlighted unique finds in the D.C. area.
CARING FOR THE URBAN WILD: CITY WILDLIFE
Paula Goldberg stands in a room that at first glance could be a no-frills office … until chirps and high-pitched squeaks begin behind a cubicle wall. “This is baby bird land,” she says, gesturing to the incubators housing tiny robins and sparrows. They are a small sampling of the estimated 1,100 D.C. area wild animals that City Wildlife (15 Oglethorpe St. NW, 202-882-1000) has treated since it opened a rehabilitation center in the District in July 2013.

In a room brimming with ancient art, the headless and armless limestone statue is easy to overlook. Nevertheless, Keith Wilson, curator of ancient Chinese art at the Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, suggests visitors linger in front of Vairochana, the Cosmic Buddha, a little longer. “As you can see it’s super complicated and very, very dense,” he says of the intricately carved 6th-century piece on the main floor of Smithsonian’s Freer Gallery (1200 Independence Ave SW; 202-633-1000).

It started with a few wind chimes Layne Garrett built for friends in 2003. “Those were the first small-scale stuff I built,” says the 37-year-old experimental musician. Pretty soon, however, Garrett was developing instruments from found objects and household items. “As I started playing around more and more with less conventional sounds and less conventional ways of producing sound,” he says, “I started to want to be able to produce sounds that the instruments I had could not produce.”

WHAT GOES UP ... THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE'S WEATHER BALLOONS
Forget birthday parties, some balloons are destined for something greater. Scientists have launched weather balloons to monitor air conditions for more than a century. In the 1930s, the National Weather Service began attaching radiosondes (battery-powered instruments) to the balloons to keep tabs on the atmosphere. At dozens of sites nationwide, balloons are simultaneously launched twice daily.

Walk into the D.C. Barber Center (3817 14th St. NW; 202-722-9621), and it’s impossible not to feel that time has been rewound. The walls of the Petworth barbershop are nearly covered in decades old ephemera, including a framed black and white photo of Sugar Ray Robinson and a
poster advertising the Million Man March in 1995. The setting is a backdrop for the mementos and tools that owner Aaron E. Whitaker has accumulated since he opened the barbershop in 1969. Read more (Washington Post Magazine, June 15, 2014) School Ties: At Sumner Museum, a Link to D.C. History
Standing in what used to be a classroom, Kimberly Springle gestures to the dozens of everyday objects surrounding her at the Charles Sumner School Museum & Archives. “That’s what we’re here for,” says the director of the museum, which is dedicated to the District’s
public school past. “To protect that history, to make sure that it’s preserved and memories are not lost.” Created in 1986, the museum holds items such as yearbooks, newspapers, sports equipment and vinyl records, and is housed in the Charles Sumner School (1201 17th St. NW, 202-730-0478), formerly an elementary and high school for African Americans in the 19th and 20th centuries.
