Despite what the Fenty Administration’s Andrew Huff promised, tour busses are coming down S street to gawk at the Real World DC house.
UPDATE: This is the Real World DC’s tour bus for the night. They also got a free pass from the Fenty Admin. to have a chartered bus on a residential street…which, again, the Fenty Admin. said would not happen.
While I am sure Spencer and Heidi are riding these everyday, tour busses don’t make local property owners/renters and small business owners happy because they ruin residential streets and cause noise pollution.
But hey…anything for a buck.

ARWDC just received an anonymous tip from an area resident who had a bad, to put it mildly, experience with Real World DC security last night. What happened to these two individuals is awful, yet frankly, not shocking….way to go MTV and Real World DC.
Note: This is the tip in full, unedited.
“Just dialed 311 after a security guy near the street asked me and a friend to leave. We heard the cast discussing how rude people in DC were in what we think were their hottub, The police arrived. I have no problem with them protecting the property, but the guy told us he was Park Police. He reached into his back pocket and said he was our worst nightmare. He said he was going to arrest us.
That was my complaint to the MPD when they arrived after we called the non-emergency number. The security officer claimed he worked for an agency he clearly did not. He also should not have reached towards his back pocket and threatened us. Additionally, he made a homophobic comment. When I told him he was not a park policeman, he told me just because I was walking with a girl this did not mean I was straight. As I am gay this statement was true, but it was clearly intended to demean me and make me feel inferior. I asked him why he was making a homophobic comment, but he responded by continuing to insist that we leave the area.
The police arrived. The 311 operator called me back and asked if I wanted to file a report. I said I wanted to get on with my night. When my friend told me the police were leaving the scene I flagged them down. I told them what happened and said a man in a black security shirt had stated he was a park policeman. The police said they could not find him, but I returned to the scene and pointed the man out. When the police approached him and asked him if he was park police and he stated he was not.
The police told me the security were a bunch of “yahoo’s”. They planned to speak to the head of security.
Just so you are aware, beware if you plan to walk by and stop near S and 20th Streets, NW. Apparently, this areas if off limits until Thanksgiving.”

Remember, YOU have rights…you can walk by the house, you can stand out in front of the house. If you get harassed, call 311 just like our tipster did! If RWDC fans like DCist and Woodbridge, VA blogger Spencer can gawk, so can RWDC opponents. Just don’t break any laws–we don’t, our tipster didn’t, and neither should you.

While we would have described Berg as “resident anti-douchebag and current Berg,” we wanted to h/t to WaPo’s Reliable Source for quoting one of our own:
“I’m not a curmudgeony 28-year-old,” he told us. “I just don’t really feel like living next to a dorm.”
Word.
Like the Reliable Source, the steady stream of gawkers outside the house last night really seem to want the new cast to DOSOMETHINGALREADY. The contributors of this blog, however, were busy getting our drink on in a bar far away from Real World cast members.

The lights remain on in the Real World house. All of them.
