You can't rescind someone else's condolences. That's not how that works.

Good job telling on yourself.

Wow. That kid did everything wrong. Stole a car, got stopped, trapped a cop in the car and dragged another one as he fled the stop.
Condolences to his family.

One thing that never ceases to amuse me: throngs of tourists taking photos of the magnolias over by the Archives, thinking they've found the cherry blossoms.

Penn Quarter Sports Tavern on Indiana Ave by 7th. Walkable from the Mall, close to the National Archives and Navy Memorial. Great food, drinks, and service.
Edit: why was this downvoted? That place is awesome for a casual meal.

>1. What is the biggest difference between living in DC vs visiting DC?
As a DC resident, you have no representation in Congress. That's a pretty big deal.
>2. I'd love to be able to not own a car. How doable is that?
Entirely doable. The DC Metro system is not as reliable as the NY Subway, but it works. There are buses all over, too. You can basically go anywhere within the city or the adjoining suburbs using mass transit, and there are plentiful bike lanes if you are a risk taker.
>3. For people who are familiar with both cities, how would you compare DC vs NYC?
People here are less considerate. It's less convenient for commerce because almost nothing it open 24-7 anymore.

Why would a station manager risk their safety or life for some potentially hostile gate jumper? They barely get paid enough to deal with regular customers who keep their personalities set to asshole mode.

Why stop there? Get yourself a handicapped placard you don't need so you can park more comfortably. /s
Bad call, my dude.

Came here to say this. Having a large breed in a small living space is inhumane.

You started by saying you're a new resident, but ended by saying your family has lived here for generations. My bullshit alarm is ringing.

Reply to Best pho in DC? by heranonymousaccount
Pho Tan Vinh in downtown Silver Spring. My best friend was visiting from San Fransisco and ate there three times while here for ten days. Said it's the best pho he'd ever had. I agree.
But you can't have it delivered. Pho has to be served to you fresh from the kitchen. Otherwise it's just soup.

Why not give them a call and ask them directly? You wouldn't have to give them any personal information.

They will not confiscate a vape device, but you will be escorted off the property if you're seen vaping on premises.
Your jacket should be fine.

Sushi isn't vegan. So good luck with that. Perhaps consider becoming a pescatarian.

Someone got busted for a crime. Their possessions were seized and are now being auctioned off. It's not shady. It's common.
