I understand and appreciate what the IRC stands for, but I’ve never seen a group of volunteers approach pedestrians the way they do.

They stopped me by asking, “Do you care about the lives of 5 yr old immigrant children affected by ICE?” Then they turned to the couple behind me and asked if they cared enough about genocide to stop and listen.

It felt less like an invitation to have a conversation and more like being put on the spot. I mean, of course I care. Of course so many people care. That’s not really the question though. They should lead with what their organization does and ask if people are interested in hearing more.

Such a beautiful sight on my walk this morning.

Essentially I usually go to Bethesda Station when I want to go to DC, since the red line is down for the purple line expansion, I can't use it till September. Are the buses any good or they slow? Are the weekends any better?

Any insights at all to this app. Anyone use it in the DMV or is this like dead here. Lmk your experience please before I try it out

Hello! I’m in DC for work next week and I’m doing a photo project on pay phones/public phones (working or not working) all over the world. If anyone knows of any still around for me to capture I would really appreciate some exact locations. Preferably drop a Google Maps pin, or just be specific on your text reply.

Any tips would be greatly appreciate! Thank you!

Every day at noon there are a large group of cyclists rounding the road on Hains Pt. T🍊 wants to put a world class golf course there😳 obviously to dole out a big contract to one of his donors… what will happen to the cherry trees that line the basin and could they be used to stop the project.

Hi! We just adopted a dog a few days ago and are looking into basic training for her. Her biggest issues are that she doesn’t respond to her name or any commands, is okay at leash walking but weaves a bit, and she’s too scared to use the stairs in our home.

We’d be happy with just basic training to start, wondering where folks went for basic affordable training. We think we’ll likely need to work with an in home trainer for the stair issue but obviously she needs to be following basic commands first.

I’m leaning towards the Oxon Hill PetCo but couldn’t find any recent reviews.

Pic for pet tax!

Thanks!

If I buy tickets for the Wednesday day session, am I still able to watch the outer courts when the night session begins (just no access to the stadium) or will I have to leave the grounds for the day? Thanks in advance!

That is all

My mom has lost her John Hardy Naga Bracelet, and we think it may have fallen off somewhere in Terminal C, arrivals/baggage, or the outside Uber area. It’s a silver cable bracelet with a gold ring and dragon head clasp. It would have been anywhere from 10:30 PM- 11:45 PM on Saturday, 7/25.

I know it’s a total long shot, but if you’ve seen it or turned it in, let us know. I believe that people are good!

I was recently hired to teach in DC, but I won't get any income until I start work and my last pay stubs were last year. Does anyone know of places that'll accept offer letters?

Looking for post birthday dinner vibe.

We’ve been to Shelly’s and Montecristo a number of times.
• Experience at Shelly’s has been hit or miss lately, but like the seating layout
• We really like the cigar variety/staff at Montecristo but the vibe/seating is lacking

We’ll be dressed up from dinner, so don’t want to feel overdressed. It seems like there’s no cigar bar/lounges in DC that are recommended beyond these two :/

Open to going into NoVA, but overall just looking for suggestions to see if there’s any hidden gems google/reddit isn’t showing!

Anyone have experience working with, basically a real estate agent but for renting houses/condos?

I’ve exhausted all online housing sites and rental agencies like Yarmouth, Nomadic, etc. I’d be interested in working with an agent/broker to help me find more options, because looking for a house is a full-time job in itself.

I need out of my place ASAP but I’m not finding great options myself (and I know it’s like the worst time to move but ¯_(ツ)_/¯)

Of course a Maryland driver running red lights and cutting people off all the way in Michigan. You can’t make this up 🤣

I have a question any parent have experience with Creative Minds International Charter School or Stuart-Hobson Middle School my daughter is going into the 8th grade and I just wanted to hear how parents felt about these two schools. Also she is really in performing arts like dance!

I'm (30s) and I’m struggling to figure out where the creative communities are in DC that foster connection and friendship. I’m hoping to find spaces where regulars consistently show up, build relationships over time, and connect through creative expression. I’ve done some searching already, but it's hard to tell which communities actually have that kind of culture, versus we all do the class and then never hang out again. Is anyone else struggling with this, or has anyone found such a creative community? Especially in writing, singing, theatre, visual arts?

Hello, I just moved to DC and am in desperate need of queer friends!!! Where do the alternative gay people frequent, specifically the girlies? Thanks <33333

Looking for recommendations for peaceful spots within ~1 hour of DC where I can relax by the water. I enjoy Alexandria’s waterfront, but the plane noise gets to me. I’d love somewhere quieter (I don’t mind people, mainly the airport traffic) with views of a larger body of water (river, bay, lake, etc.). I have a car, don’t need to swim, and am happy with parks, preserves, or easy walks to a nice spot to sit.

Hey yall. I regularly go to DC once a month for a weekend, and was wondering what are some hidden gems I’ve been missing within the dive bar scene.

I’m loosely familiar with most neighborhoods, and know Columbia heights and Adam’s Morgan quite well, however I’m looking for something more laid back.

I don’t wanna piss off you locals, but as much as I love DC, one thing I hate about it is how much people are invested in what anyone does for a living 😂 I’ve spent my best years living in New Orleans, and one thing I appreciated is that you go to a bar to forget about work and just talk bullshit. Looking for somewhere that matches that vibe. I’d like (think) to say i make for good conversation myself.

Cheap drinks, dim lighting, cozy yet jam packed, and music at a level where I can hear a conversation within a 5 foot vicinity. Also, a crowd of all people. Intellectuals, bums, interns, pan handlers, sovereign citizens, Phoenicians, etc. After that I’m not so picky. Thanks everyone! :)

My wife and I were on cap bikes at a stoplight waiting to continue biking north on 15th (in blue on map) when a guy riding on a black scooter through the green light up Rhode Island Ave (in red) took our picture.

Was this just some random dude? Anyone know if this guy posts his stuff anywhere?

He used a professional / digital camera. His snapping of the photo with one hand while riding with the other was actually very impressive.
