Bet they get their menu’s stolen a fair amount.

Finally, someone is standing up for the corporations

I would have to be better than a plastic tree from china 20x over, which honestly it still could be.

When we got our house and started a family I wanted to do a real tree every year, but each year the trees got smaller and more expensive. Salesmen last year apologized for the dinky trees and price but explained the logistics in getting trees from Canada, which was enlightening. It was hard to justify supporting the practice anymore. Fake trees are plastic and wasteful too, but if we use the same one for the rest of our lives, it has to be a net positive… I hope.

We finally got a fake one last year, there seems to be next to no benefit to a real one anymore.

Agreed, I am all for continuous sidewalks

Its midblock cross in every city, not just DC

Mid block crosswalks are extremely bad for pedestrians and traffic.
