I was making a joke about people being terrified of squeegee kids. Don’t have an answer for you re: D.C. but I’ve noticed since the pandemic everyone’s constantly driving like it’s their first day on the road.

People stop 30 feet back from the intersection at a red light 🙄

Nah, just the one on Washington Blvd- I’m recommending the OP hit the 2nd Avenue Thrift Store on 198 across from the Home Depot/Amish market cause it’s massive.

Don’t waste your time at the Prime Thrift in Laurel- it’s small. Go to the 2nd Avenue in Columbia or Laurel, both are like Walmart sized and carry nice/newer clothes. The one in Essex is ok but significantly smaller, I’d probably pass on that one.

Are you getting it delivered? I could never get down with Instacart or whatever bc it seems like you’re constantly paying a premium to have someone pick out the shittiest produce then drop a 12 pack of sodas on top of it. Other than that I haven’t really shared this experience.

I really wouldn’t worry. I’m sure there are gonna be people who go full on NYE glam too. I just don’t think it’s gonna be the kinda party where people will care that much ya know?

I wouldn’t stress about it that much. Are you going to be downstairs or upstairs? Either way I would expect to see a lot of people casually dressed but maybe less so for the show downstairs.

I’ve noticed (presumed) unhoused neighbors filling water bottles. I’ve been asked to fill water bottles and obliged. Of all the things I could be stingy about, this certainly ain’t it.

I meant in terms of shelters/warming centers/communication with residents. But also agree that BGE could’ve done a lot more as well. Definitely a lot of worst case scenarios here but worst case scenarios in sub-freezing temps could equal death for more than a handful of people.

I don’t know. IMO the city has seriously dropped the ball here. Makes me very nervous about what would happen if a widespread disaster happens in the city.

I can’t answer your question but there are warming shelters including at least one open overnight if you need to get out of the cold/have access to power. Good luck.

They close at 10 during the week 🫠

DC has never been great about this either

I have a core memory of being there around the time Kurt Cobain died and my brother telling me what su*cide was. I would’ve been 5-6 🥲

There are a ton of holiday markets this weekend.

Tell me you’re from the county without telling me you’re from the county

If we’re talking the Hargrove side there’s always so much trash in that alley, had to get a tire replaced last week.
