D.C. kids had better get used to getting indoors earlier. Starting Wednesday, the city's curfew will start at 11 p.m. most nights. Sundays through Thursdays, that's the witching hour for anyone under 17. On Friday and Saturday nights, the curfew starts at a minute past midnight. In all cases, it runs through six a.m. The midnight deadline applies each night all summer, but it reverts to the earlier time on school nights. The law requires anyone under 17 to be off the streets and other outdoor public places during curfew hours. There are exemptions for things like work, school and religious activities. [more ]
