Though I love living in Washington, one thing that’s always bothered me about the city is that everything closes so early at night–restaurants, bars, stores.

This article, in yesterday’s Post, laments DC’s early-to-bed nature. The piece also refers to a new vending machine in the Adams Morgan neighborhood–it’s an enormous contraption that offers everything from milk to snackfoods to DVDs night and day. While it’s controversial (some say it’s an eyesore and that it hurts local businesses), I love it: it’s very Japanese. And Japan, of course, is the vending machine capital of the world.
