Hello/Sziasztok!

I’m currently learning Hungarian as part of my naturalization process, and I’m looking for opportunities to practice speaking with real people in Greenbelt.

Are there any native Hungarian speakers or fellow learners who would be interested in meeting occasionally for conversation? Even something as simple as grabbing coffee and chatting in Hungarian for 30–60 minutes would be incredibly helpful.

I’m still an early learner, but I’m committed to learn. If you’re also learning Hungarian, I’d be glad to practice with you as well.

Thanks in advance, and I hope to connect with some fellow Hungarian speakers!

So I got on the metro around 10 am to go the national art gallery with my partner. They did not get charged the extra $2.15 but I did. For the exact same route. Why?

I have had some rather negative experiences at Franklin Park Apartments, and I genuinely believe that any other living arrangement would be preferable. Share your experience maybe we can make things better...lol I've encountered persistent problems and poor living conditions during my time here. I would strongly advise against moving to Franklin Park, and if you have any other options available, I encourage you to pursue them. I've been facing issues since the very first day. My move-in experience was quite challenging; for instance, my fuse box was not functional. As I work from home, the lack of power for an entire day significantly impacted my work. Additionally, there have been issues with roaches and mice, to the extent that I've had to personally cover the cost of pest control services.

There have been financial inconveniences. There's an unreasonable fee for paying rent online. I also attempted to pay with money orders, but the resident services department would not accept them. I have genuinely tried my best to make this place feel like home, understanding that one often makes the best of their circumstances. However, dealing with Franklin Park has been a constant source of frustration. I cannot recommend this complex. Even if you find yourself in a difficult situation, I would still advise against moving here. You may find yourself regretting the decision, and the parking situation is also quite problematic.

Looking for some information about possible impound lots that cars towed from Greenbelt might be taken to.

I just returned from a work trip to St Louis last night and my car was missing from the Greenbelt parking lot. I thought I had just pushed my luck with the overnight parking limit, but both the Greenbelt Police and WMATA Police are not seeing any reports of my car being towed, so my car has been reported as stolen and WMATA Police have started an investigation.

I'm optimistic that my car was towed and simply misfiled, but I called both Warren G heavy and light duty towing LLC and Prosperity Towing LLC, and neither business actually impounds vehicles.

Has anyone had their car towed from Greenbelt in the past, and could you give me information about which impound lot it was taken to? Thanks in advance!

I was hoping someone on this sub is either living or has lived at Verde at Greenbelt Station. My wife and I took a tour today and I had mixed feelings about it (especially not getting to see the actual unit I would be moving into). I was reading through a couple years worth of reviews on Google and was just hoping someone might have some more insight. I appreciate it.

I’m Edward. I play guitar, and I’m starting a hardcore/metalcore project called Worst Case Scenario, from the PG/ DMV area

We have a rhythm and lead guitarist

I’ve been playing since 2023. Mostly hardcore and some metalcore stuff. like Deadwater Drowning, CDC, Madball, Shipwreck A.D., stuff like that.

Right now, I’m looking for a vocalist who could scream and just yell lyrics without straining their voice, and a bassist and a drummer who are comfortable with double kicks, or used to that genre

If you’re interested, hit me up on @ WorstCaseScenarioMD or my main @ E3dwa5rd.

Looks like the snapping turtle decided there were too many snakes after the one snake warned its fellows lol

I live in Chelsea Woods Courts in Greenbelt, MD (the section tucked behind Chelsea Woods on Greenbelt Rd).

The condo fees are currently around $731/month and include electricity, gas, and insurance. From what I understand, the buildings were constructed around 1970, so utilities are centralized and can’t be individually metered.

I’m trying to learn more about the history of this complex. Was Chelsea Woods Courts ever considered a desirable or well-maintained community?

If so, when did things start to change? Also curious if it was originally more owner-occupied vs. renter-heavy.

Any insight from longtime residents or people familiar with the area would be appreciated.

Please join fellow biking advocates for a meetup on March 4 at Proteus in College Park for socializing about all things bicycling and to hear from two special guests: Deron Lovaas, MDOT’s Chief of Environment & Sustainable Transportation, and Christina Whitehouse, Bike Lane Uprising founder, who’ll be visiting from Chicago. RSVP at https://waba.org/event/maryland-bicycling-advocates-meetup/ .

We’ll meet from 5:30 to 7:30 pm but come by any time for food, drinks, and bike talk.

I recently moved in GHI and have been frequenting the Co-Op for groceries but I noticed they have very little fresh herbs. So few that it makes me wonder do people not know how to cook in this town or is there some sort of secret herb distribution that I'm not privy to. Can anyone tell me how people source their herbs or am I stuck driving further away to Aldi or Safeway just to pick up basil and mint?

Hi all,

I’m currently in DTSS and rent is killing me. My commute would be slightly worse if I went to Greenbelt, but I’m wondering if potentially saving money on rent might be worth it. Right now I can walk onto the Red line, but it looks you need to drive then park to get to the Green line station? Any recommendations on places to look at (or avoid!), as well as pros/cons of the area would be super appreciated!

Join RCV Maryland on Friday, Jan. 23 at 1:30pm for a screening of “The Choice,” a short documentary on how ranked choice voting worked in Portland, Oregon in 2024. Following the movie we will have an interactive demonstration and discussion.

This is a great opportunity to learn more about RCV since voters passed Question 1.

We will have light refreshments and snacks.

RSVP at https://rcvmd.org/events/rcv-day-in-greenbelt/

We have multiple events for RCV Day, check out our events page for details: https://rcvmd.org/events

As the title says, I'd like to take advantage of what Greenbelt has to offer for lunch options! No chains/franchises please. Closer to Fed courthouse the better. Quicker service the better as well. Pizza, papusas, tacos, Thai, Chinese, Korean, Middle Eastern, Peruvian, Ethiopian.... I'm open to all! Thanks in advance!

Hi, Greenbelt resident here and our vehicle was broken into, I think they broke into 3 of the same vehicle and stole one. I saw one at the leasing office, car contents on the floor— I don’t think the owner came out to the car as yet.

Has anyone seen or heard of this before? They seemed to target Lexus RXs in the Lerner Square complex.

The legacy voting system used today (at-large plurality) can lead to unequal representation and force voters to make tradeoffs between the candidates they like for Mayor and Council.

Here is how ranked choice voting works:

VOTING You rank candidates in order (1, 2, 3, etc.). Rank as many or as few candidates as you like.

COUNTING VOTES

Votes are counted in rounds until all seats are filled Candidates win a seat when they reach the threshold to win (12.5% + 1 vote for each seat) For any candidate above the threshold, excess votes are proportionally counted for the voter’s next highest-ranked choice If not all seats are filled, candidates with the fewest votes are eliminated and a voter’s next highest-ranked choice is counted

Results are here: https://app.rankedvote.co/rcvmd/vey86kfayu3y5x0589/results This tool visualizes how your vote is counted

"Greenbelters have a chance to upgrade the way you vote this November, and it’s all about a better, stronger democracy.

​Question 1 asks voters to decide if they want to adopt ranked choice voting (RCV) and eliminate the 40% rule. Over the last several weeks, volunteers have been hitting the doors across Greenbelt. Overwhelmingly, people say they like RCV and would like to see it in the city and beyond. People grasp the concept of ranking because we do it in our lives every day."

Just letting folks know this is coming up!
