National Park Service plans $54M repairs to restore DC’s historic fountains
Some of Washington’s most iconic fountains could soon be flowing again. The National Park Service plans to spend more than $54 million to repair and restore fountains across the District, including the long-dry cascading fountain at Meridian Hill Park, also known as Malcolm X Park. Newly released records show major repairs are planned at seven locations citywide, including Meridian Hill, Columbus Circle near Union Station and Freedom Plaza. The projects aim to address years of deterioration that residents and community leaders have called a symbol of neglect in some of the city’s most popular public spaces. Local officials and park users say the planned repairs are long overdue and welcome the investment in green and public spaces. Records indicate the work is expected to be completed by late spring or early summer, ahead of seasonal events. The National Park Service did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Car goes airborne, crashes into backyard pool | Driver lands in water
Police in southern Nevada say a woman was speeding moments before a dramatic crash that sent her car airborne into a backyard. Video shows the vehicle crashing through a fence and landing in a pool, ejecting the driver in the process. Authorities say the woman was able to get out of the pool with some assistance. A tow truck and a crane were later used to remove the vehicle from the property. The homeowner estimates the damage could cost about $300,000 to repair. It is unclear what charges, if any, the driver may face as the investigation continues.
