Good morning from Washington City Paper! It’s Friday! You made it!

LEADING THE MORNING NEWS: With newly resigned D.C. Council Chairman Kwame Brown expected to plead guilty today, prosecutors can focus fully on Mayor Vince Gray, the Examiner reports. Both Phil Mendelson and Vincent Orange want to replace Brown in the interim, notes the Post. (Councilmember David Catania offers a hilariously tepid endorsement of Mendo: “He’s not the most dynamic, but given all the other sideshows we have going on right now, that is exactly what we need.”) Petula Dvorak complains about the “sense of entitlement” that seems to plague crooked pols: “There is nothing sexy about the D.C. Council, so stop trying to make it like that.” At The Atlantic Cities, Sommer Mathis declares them all triflin’. David Simon (yep, that David Simon) even weighed in on the case on his own blog after calling the Kojo Nnamdi Show to gripe about the charge being small potatoes. Plus: D.C. raking in the dollars from speed cameras. [WTOP] Look up! It’s a drone. [WTOP] D.C. man admits to running an online prostitution ring. [WAMU] Don’t put money on the roof of your car. [NBC4]

YOUR DAILY QUALITY-OF-LIFE MEASUREMENT: Thursday, City Paper‘s Needle fell three points. The damage done: Still Kwame.

RECENT CITY PAPER STORIES TO HELP YOU MAKE SENSE OF YOUR DAY:

Kwame Brown Now Faces Campaign Finance Charge: It’s a lesser charge than the bank fraud charge, but Brown will plead guilty to both today in two different courthouses. LL writes: “In a court filing today in D.C. Superior Court, prosecutors say Brown authorized a relative of his to open a “side account” for campaign contributions, from which that relative made cash expenditures on behalf of the campaign in excess of $50—which meant they should have been reported.”

Today in Realtorspeak: Anacostia Über Alles!: One realtor wants to brand all of River East as “Anacostia neighborhoods” since Anacostia is apparently “a cool word” now.

Margaritas On Tap: Who Thought Of It First?: Both Mike Isabella‘s Bandolero and Jackie Greenbaum‘s El Chucho will serve margaritas on tap—a first in the District. Both claim it was their own original idead. “We like putting things on tap. It’s just cool,” said Isabella, who was also the first in D.C. to put Prosecco on tap, Y&H notes.

Does It Matter That the Corcoran Shows Just 3 Percent of Its Art?: Short answer: No, even though lack of space is one of the reasons the board is giving for why its building should be sold. For comparison, Kriston Capps writes: “The National Gallery of Art displays approximately 2.4 percent of its art collection, according to Deborah Ziska, the museum’s press chief. About one-third of the National Gallery’s more than 7,000 paintings, sculptures, and decorative objects can be seen on a visit to the museum. But the museum’s collection also includes nearly 120,000 works on paper, photographs, and other media—and only half of 1 percent of those are hanging in the museum.”

Georgetown’s Plan to Please Georgetown: After more than two years of acrimony, it looks like Georgetown University has finally struck a deal with its neighbors. It includes one big concession to the neighbors—the university is going to get the kids back on campus: “Georgetown will house 450 more students on campus by fall 2015 by converting the row of university-owned student town houses on 36th Street NW to administrative offices (or some equally silent function). The plan also calls for housing 90 percent of students on campus by 2025 (which is remarkably close to the Office of Planning’s recommendation of 100 percent). The plan also calls on the university to provide housing to graduate students who would otherwise live in the surrounding neighborhood.”
