So's your Mom on Columbia Rd in AdMo

Air & Space museum is extremely popular, but check if you need reservations.

The National Zoo is fun if the weather is mild .

Agree but she was considering NOMA so the closest was west of Logan. 20007 too, 20015.

I'd be surprised to taste one tastier than Popeyes or Chick-fil-A (struggle with their anti-gay stance but respect them for closing on Sundays , even though that costs them probably tens of millions ).

If near Dupont my housekeeper takes care of our cats + those of 2-3 more clients.

As a young woman, I recommend Logan Circle or, in general, zipcode 20009 (Dupont Circle, Adam's Morgan)

I know, yes! But daytime other podcasts not NPR.

Midnight to 5am is BBC on WAMU

Months? Weeks? Years?

That happens to me often. That's why I make sure my earbuds are charged, so I just put on WAMU and usually fall back asleep

Really? I'm glad you're OK, but what an awkward situation

$1000 is I think kinda low . Probably $1200-1400 more realistic .

$120 is what you pay for a much nicer gym than YMCA I think.

They have a sign up page at WCK

When a group of migrants arrived in NY, the discussion was if they could be housed on a boat.

What many don't understand is that these migrants come here to work. They usually have family back home that are dependent on the few dollars they can send .

They are hard-working people. They don't come here to become a public charge. Their kids need to attend local schools, but that is a win/win if these kids can have a better chance in life .

You can also volunteer if you have the time and energy

That could be good news. When they updated the IMF building on 19th/H St, it took forever and more expensive, apparently, than rebuilding the whole 9/10 floors .

You don't need to get on it . I live in 20009 next to it and never use it. My husband does, and so does my son.

You're right to call it will not really be luxury. Shiny with doorman etc but cheaply built like most or all of the new construction in DC

Not really. Friendship Heights is already a high income area

I don't know the specific names of the charities involved . I heard this morning they had buses waiting to take them to a church where they had warm food . Then they had buses to help them get to their final destination where the migrants have friends or family .

Thank God for these volunteers on Christmas day and one of the coldest days ever.

Friendship Place + Central Union Mission + World Central Kitchen are the ones I donate to monthly that help the homeless or less fortunate.

The director/CEO of Food for America once or twice stood in line for food during a difficult period in her life and was struck by the kindness and no judgement.

23 years ago, you mean?

One bedroom units in 20009 haven't gone up in price for the last 10 years

New Hampshire from U St to Dupont is one of my favorite walks . But also parts of Q St NW east of 16th St NW Some blocks on 19th St NW.

DC has preserved its old buildings and townhouses built mostly between 1880-1920.

Several of the buildings north of the Washington Hilton on Connecticut Ave are featured in the book Best Addresses of Washington DC . Also the Wyoming, around the corner on Columbia .

I've had FIOS always but moved to Kalorama side of Admo and only Xfinity. I hate it cuz at different times of the day my streaming on phone or some link isn't working. Turn off WiFi and voila .

Wish we could have FIOS or even Starry

Or come to Atlanta.

SF + LA + Denver + Seattle + Chicago + Boston + NYC + DC + Miami + Atlanta. 10 major cities not incl TX.

Atlanta only cheap real estate out of the 10 cities.

Bought condo good location Atlanta .210K 780sf one bedroom + one bath. Put in 70K and new location for kitchen and bath + added half bath + new location washer dryer + new floors + new molding everywhere + knocked down 2 walls . Ended up 2BR + 1FB + 1HB with 70K so total 280K.

400K + $300 per month +300 monthly property taxes comes out same or less than rent if you have DP. With rates at 3% maybe not 6.5%.

DC helps with DP if you make 50-80K .
