It's a common trope on here to talk shit about any chain store in the District staffed by Black Washingtonians, which you seem very comfortable parroting.

How much help do you need when you’re in WalMart

What’s wrong with the staff

What’s the difference. Go into detail

Sounds like a good fit for you. Good luck with the move

I think people are generally familiar with the WalMart shopping experience, be it in DC or in the burbs.

I personally believe there are a couple great spots but for where you are staying and for delivery, I'd definitely recommend Pho 14 in Columbia Heights. That's our local and they do a great job with delivery.

Thanks for the thorough answer - we love the zoo and appreciate you!

Let’s go ahead and fill in the creek, make it six lanes and cut the speed limit to 15 for OP

Ha it’s little odd for someone with far more pickiness about a very specific authenticity to ask for opinions from this crowd who no doubt know much less than you, but I have always had good meals at the Lebanese Taverna in Woodley Park and I believe the owners are Lebanese. I would have no problem recommending it to any IT snob.

To answer your question about whether the airport is open 24/7, you’ll be able to find a space to hang out. However, it’s a big gamble that your flight is going to go off at 8am without a hitch

Why would you use a taxi app and not the well-oiled machine of the airport taxi stand

If you’re interested in law enforcement, why would the recruitment incentives be a trap?

Take a cooking class together! It's been years for me but the CulinAerie knife skills class was very fun

I have never met someone who believes it is their role in a friend group to drive people around.

Sorry that happened OP - I have seen her behave in a similar way on 14th. Best way to deal with her is to act crazier and louder. She absolutely sucks

If you’re a sports person, the Turkey Bowl at Eastern HS is really fun. We always hit up the museums, too. It’s a good day to mosey, tbh.

Locals who tool around the Mall running and/or biking are the lamest of the lame. How much attention do you need? Slow down, chill, everyone knows there are a ton of slow-moving tourists and there are a million other places to exercise. Shout out to the fitness creep who I saw trample two kids during peak cherry blossom season a few years ago. Loser!

I haven’t noticed it myself but metro just tweeted that a cable has been damaged: https://twitter.com/wmata/status/1590128283307446273?s=21&t=8kw_cBF0mNBI9LCxcNF5ow

So would I, but I am also realistic about the fact that many (most?) of our worst drivers come from states that have decided to not give a shit about our traffic enforcement

With what money? And tow them where? Have you ever lived in a city where private towing companies run the show? (It sucks)

Ok. How do you increase the booting team 20X overnight; you're talking about hiring like 200 people

I’m saying that the infrastructure changes are already saving lives and “enforcement” of people who are speeding or being reckless is not a simple process.

I am not an expert but I have read enough to understand that there’s an ebb and flow with traffic safety - some people will drive FASTER if they see protected sidewalks and lanes because they stop worrying about their safety. At the same time, sidewalk and bike lane protections DO protect pedestrians from the average driver.

I do believe in stepping up enforcement for bad actors, just that it’s not a simple flip of the switch.

Yeah I mean drivers also see the protected lanes so they drive faster, etc. There is no silver bullet for traffic safety.

Right, if that’s your only metric but cycling down 14th St. NW is MUCH safer now than it was before. Same with cycling across town. Both places I was hit by cars on my bike are now protected lanes. So yeah, the effort has helped. Same story with the traffic calming around crosswalks.
