You're not wrong. But people should still report criminal activity to the police. It creates data that can be used to support systemic change. It may prevent a crime from occurring (even if it only delays it).

Washingtonian. Dcist. Is DC.eater still a website? Popville. Washington post. Like, any website that covers local news.

Wilson gonna be closed for a while, I think. Marie Reed I haven't been to in years, but it was pretty old and run down when I did go, it may have been renno'd since then? Takoma is the 2nd nicest pool behind Wilson. Large, modern. Good water temp, good air. Locker room is a bit run down. I've never been to Roosevelt.

DC Aquatics Club (adult swim team; Masters swimming) swims regularly at Takoma, and will be getting some lanes at Roosevelt this week as a result of Wilson closing. We also swim at Deanwood and Gallaudet, if you're looking for a structured, coached workout with reserved lanes and swimmers of all ages, including social events. Our practice schedule is here: https://www.swimdcac.org/page.cfm?pagetitle=Calendar. We offer 2 free trial swims for prospective members.

Nope. Informally we've heard that dpr doesn't have a contractor available to do real fixes, so they're trynna to patchwork things to get health dept approval, but that things keep breaking (and the high humidity doesn't help).

Your clothes won't get too wrinkled in a bag on a mile walk. I bike and have my dress pants and shirt (and socks and undershirt) in my bike bag. I change into them at work and they look fine. Helps to have wool or non-iron material.

I keep my suit jackets and dress shoes and belt at work to reduce my bag load.

I love a block east of bladensburg in Carver Langston, but the vibe is the same as where you'll be.

It's not as nice or as clean as NW, and the rents reflect that. You're walking distance to H st (bars and restaurants) and Aldi and Safeway. More bike lanes are being put in, and barracks row, Chinatown, and U st are short Ubers away. It's not a bad spot to be.

It is a gentrifying area, so a wide range of people live there. 99% just wanna go about their lives, but bladensburg does have a number of hangout spots that can be intimidating. If you don't wanna engage, just walk with a purpose and don't slow down. I've never had any trouble, and brief eye contact with an acknowledging head nod and 'good morning' goes a long way. I am a medium sized white male, fwiw.

Bottom line: basic city smarts and courtesies will see you through.

Yea, this is a direct analog to https://xkcd.com/1138/.

Yea, but living in tents on public parks and sidewalks isn't a legal or acceptable alternative. Forgive the crude analogy, but that's like saying "Cooking is difficult and potentially dangerous; it's much more safe and stable to just help myself to my neighbors refrigerator whenever I get hungry".

That's out of the ordinary. They shoulda died off back in Oct/nov.

Yea. US marshalls is a weird source, I've never seen them issue anything general like that. If anything, federal protective service would send that out. And I'm not aware of fps ever doing that either.

>Black cops don’t just beat up black men.

Uhhhhhhhh

They hit my street a few weeks ago and booted the VA-plated car, but skipped the DC-plated car with just as many tickets.

Don't let great be the enemy of good.

shrug, you asked the question. Sorry that people have different priorities and/or comfort levels than you.

>why the heck didn’t they just use the subway/bus or walk.

1. origin and/or destination aren't convenient to public transit

2. public transit duration is excessive compared to a private vehicle duration

3. on a deadline and don't want to risk delays associated with public transit

4. transporting large items that aren't easily carried on public transit

5. it's rainy/cold/hot/humid out

6. plenty of other reasons.

Got a source for that stat? I can't find anything via Google...

Username checks out.

>because the transplants were loud and white enough that the city listened to them and their needs

Sooo... the process worked? That is how a democratic government is supposed to work. Voters (of all races) elected politicians who share their priorities. It would be very odd if the gov based their decisions on the electorate of 20yrs ago rather than the electorate of today.

I just got a flat this morning on those lanes!

I tried the hard roll a few times cause apparently that's the "right" way, but I switched to the soft roll cause fuck hard bread. Ain't got time for scratching up the roof of my mouth for the sake of 'tradition'.

Mother Ruckers is walking distance for me so it has a special place in my heart. And it's probably the closest to that 'mid-tier Philly hoagie' that I grew up with, so it's def a personal favorite. And their meat/$ ratio is top notch. And they carry Herr's brand potato chips. They're my go-to for an Italian for all those reasons.

But I'll be the first to admit that they're not gonna win any quality or gourmet awards. Very 'working class Philly corner shop' sammiches. Different strokes.

But not Sundays, which is a real punch in the teeth when you want that BEC croissant for your hangover.

I'll die on this hill: Mango's gmen sub is trash. Bread is stale and oversized, there's 2 inches of iceberg heart lettuce and 1 slice of cheese, 2 slices of meat.

I'm exaggerating a bit, but it's not a satisfying sub (unless you like stale bread and dry lettuce as a meal).

"No jobs found"

I don't know whether to be disappointed or relieved.

>but I’d like to work for a company that is very much employee centered and offers killer benefits and good pay.

pulls deeply on cigarette Me too, brother, me too.
