WTTG/FOX 5's got some video of an argument that broke out about 10 a.m. on Monday morning at the McDonald's on Good Hope Road in Southeast. The surveillance video shows two men getting into a disagreement while waiting in line to pay, then later they can be seen fighting over the tops of tables and on the floor of the fast food restaurant. Eventually, the suspect wearing the black hat pulled out a gun and actually fired it, though thankfully he didn't hit anyone.

The shop in question is in the 800 block of H Street NE, located in the same strip mall as a McDonald's.

Where: Giant, Magruder's, Wagschal's

Reverend Billy and his Church of Stop Shopping are of the opinion that the masses have an opiate other than religion. And if it's the merchandise that keeps us in line, then there is no time of year when we binge on our fix of choice like the holiday season. Bank accounts and credit card statements across the nation can do the testifying for us on this point. And so it is at the most...

Memorial Day is this Monday, meaning a lot of Washingtonians have a three day weekend. With the extra day comes extra opportunity to take a day trip (or two) around the area. We polled our staffer for some good destinations in the area to share, so pump up the bike tires, get out the hiking boots or start the car (Zip, Flex, or your own). And if you have any other good suggestions, let us...

Torontoist visits the site of a new Frank Gehry structure, stalks "the elusive Bahamas streetcar", and watches Tom Green get surgery. Phillyist rejoices in the Phillies' wild card chances, mourns the injuries sustained by Eagles defensive end Jevon Kearse, and goes pirate on our asses. SFist notes that Guns and Roses were in town, that San Franciscans are taking over reality TV, and that the San Francisco Chronicle's skills of original nomenclature could use some...

NBC4 has a story about national caffeine overlord Starbucks' continued efforts to lease space for a coffee shop to be located in the former site of The King of France Tavern, within the historic Maryland Inn in Annapolis. Initially rejected by the Annapolis Historic Preservation Commission last winter, Starbucks is scheduled to appear again before the commission tonight with a revised plan, which now includes a wheelchair lift, according to NBC4. The tavern, which opened...

If you're riding the Orange Line today, you may come across metrorail's first ad-wrapped train car. And which advertiser will you see sprawled out on the side of the train car? McDonald's. But don't worry "Super Size Me" fans, you won't see a Big Mac. Fries won't be there either. It's a healthier option: Locally, McDonald's is working with Metro in their efforts to generate additional revenue as the first advertiser as they launch the...

Yo HBO, didn't "K Street" go off the air sometime in 2003? Sure you can buy the DVD of the entire series, but we aren't sure targeting tourists at the Woodley Park McDonald's, where we took this photo, is the best strategy.

We hope you're enjoying your Presidents Day weekend, especially if you have Monday off from work. Although this photo taken outside the Adams Morgan McDonalds was posted on photogene's photoblog on Valentine's Day, we thought it works for this weekend as well since we witnessed a fight spill from the sidewalk to inside the McDonald's at 18th Street and Columbia Road and then back outside again. The Metropolitan Police officers breaking up the scuffle sure seemed pissed off. "Those were the same guys as before!"

Indeed, the 18th Street strip's fast food options consist of McDonald's, Julia's Empanadas and the three giant pizza slice outlets. So the Amsterdam Falafel Shop is probably a breath of fresh air for the neighborhood's quick and cheap eats sector. (Of course, up and around the corner on Columbia Road, there are plenty of great places to get Mexican and Central American eats.)

Honorary DCist and former president Bill Clinton has been hospitalized in New York City after complaining of chest pains. CNN.com is reporting doctors told the former president, who has no history of heart problems, that he needs bypass surgery.

This week, Fox and the "American Idol" crew are in town to audition thousands of contestants at the Washington Conevention Center. Rising Idols from near and far, optimistic of their prospects for fame and fortune, were probably a bit peeved if they read the Post's take on the starsearch process.

The D.C. Public Library will feature Ronald McDonald as part of its "Summer Quest: Readers Rule" summer reading program for schoolchildren. Is this an innocent tactic to get young children excited about reading, or an evil ploy by the McDonald's corporation to hook kids on their fatty foods? After seeing Super Size Me, DCist isn't slightly suspicious ...Ronald McDonald at DC Public Library Ronald McDonald will visit children participating in the D.C. Public Library's Summer...
