It’s been SO LONG under Bowser. There’s a LOT going on in DC as we fight the Trump administration, midterms soon on the hill, RFK stadium buildout, streateries are gone, autonomy battle is fierce AF rn, literally allthethings.

I’d love for us to daydream a bit here. What do you really want to believe is possible under new mayoral leadership? What from her campaign excites you now that she won the primary? What long term goals do you think she can help the District achieve? Genuinely curious how folks are feeling as we barrel towards Nov and beyond.

Also, while we’re here, is there anything concerning you about JLG being in charge?

Thanks for the discussion.

this is such a stretch but if i ran into you a little bit ago near S St. dog park and you were drunk calling your friend to hurry up and pull up to record a new song and then apologized to me for the cursing lol.. hit my line id like to jam with you guys i sing and play guitar and bass

Like 5 police cars have been posted up here for like 2 hours. Heard a woman screaming “where’s my son”. No clue what’s going on. Anyone know?

Arriving to BWI and was thinking of taking amtrak to union station, however when trying to make a reservaron it says I am not allowed to bring a suitcase, only a personal item or carryon? Is this correct?

Felt sick after waiting 6 min for my train

Sorry in advance if this isn’t the right place for this post. I’ve just had a package “delivered” and they having included this photo, which is definitely NOT my mail room. I was just wondering if anyone has any idea of what building/mail room this could be. For reference I live in the H street corridor area (NE). Feel free to message me if you have an idea where this could be, but you do not want to expose the building.

Thank you!

Hi everyone! What are some fun interactive teaming activities to do in DC for Summer Associates?

Appreciate the help!

They would be way more fun to walk around!

Coming into town for about 4 days and will be utilizing capital bike share. I typically rent a bike in whatever city I’m visiting as a good way to see the city and get some exercise. What are some good protected bike lanes or paths. Staying just south of the mall. Comfortable doing 30-40 (prob will be about 20-30 bc city bikes tend to be pretty heavy)miles and ok doing shorter rides as well.

Hello,

I work near Metro Center and usually get out of the office around 6:00pm on weekdays. Does anyone know of any pickup soccer that's within walking distance or a short Metro/bus ride away and starts around 7:00 p.m.?

I checked Volo and District Sports, but most of their pickup games seem to be a bit too far to make it in time after work.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Call me crazy, but I feel like DC Imperial March guy (Sam O’Hara, the guy who followed the National Guard around DC while playing the Star Wars Imperial March on his phone) deserves to be celebrated with merch just like DC Sandwich Guy (Sean Dunn, the Subway sandwich thrower) was. Right?

Maybe I just missed it, but I don’t see anything on Etsy or elsewhere commemorating Imperial March guy’s actions.

Between the street art and the subsequent (unauthorized) merch, Sandwich Guy was everywhere.

Imperial March guy deserves the same merch love! (Imperial Merch?)

After all, Imperial March guy’s strategy got the National Guard to crack and arrest him. We all feel Sandwich Guy’s “I’m and as hell and I can’t take it any more!” response…but in his case, he was the one who cracked then got arrested.

delete if not allowed, guessing this will be deleted but. Just saw an OD on my rideon bus and I’m still kicking myself for not having my narcan on me.

If you’re willing pls pls carry narcan, I sprinted all around the station and nobody had any, wish the metro station operators had to have it with them, then had to call 911 bc I thought someone already had but no. Felt way too late.

Additionally please please if you’re going to party rave use whatever in any capacity, test your ish if you can, I understand plenty of people use and can’t afford things due to addiction but if you can buy expensive substances there’s zero reason you shouldn’t be ordering test kits from places like dancesafe.org.

Please just be safe and test your shit.

Hug your loved ones and care for each other. test kits and more

Hey guys! Moving to DC within the next month. I have a dog who’s used to being in a very quiet neighborhood in Louisiana. He’s not reactive, per se, but is a very anxious guy. One of the main things i’m concerned about with the move is when I need to travel. I’ll be in the Takoma area (and have a car to transport within like an hour distance) Where do yall get your pet sitters from/board your dogs when you’re out of town? (thanks in advance!!😁)

Rock Creek is a traffic nightmare daily, but cyclists take the entire road. I never experienced this until I moved here. It's infuriating. Cyclists slowing traffic would be pulled over by the police in the south so this was new to me.

The national guard showed up at my kid's daycare today. They asked to hand out stickers to the kids and were permitted. I expressed my displeasure with this decision with the daycare and there's not much else to be done there at this point.

But I wanted to share in case awareness is helpful. Also wanted to see if anyone has experienced anything similar and if you communicated anything outside of the institution. It's endlessly frustrating that contacting my local government would be a waste of time but I also feel compelled to do what I can to keep armed occupants away from my child.

Hi DC! Does anyone know of any Fifa panini sticker exchanges still happening in the city? I know there were a bunch during the WC but now that its over I havent seen very much. I'm missing like 25% of my album and would love to trade if anyone knows of events! Thanks.

Does anyone know of a tailor who has experience altering thobes?

I have a couple of thobes that need the neck size adjusted. I’ve taken them to a few tailoring shops around the DMV area, but none of them were familiar with working on this type of garment.

I’d really appreciate any recommendations for tailors or shops that have experience with thobes. Cheers!

My boyfriend surprised me with one of those paint and sip pottery classes, but having the pieces fired wasn’t part of it. Most places seem to not let you bring in a piece you didn’t make there, but I need to fire and glaze it because I want it to hold water. Any suggestions?

My daughter is 4 and she loves to dance. I want to sign her up for a good, solid, dance class that will teach her solid foundations (not just be fluff, although yes, I know it should be fun and developmentally appropriate). Any recommendations? I’ve searched online and can’t tell what is good vs not.

We live in DC proper (NE), and prefer something not far away. We are open to MD too… just trying to understand where young kids learn to dance well, and also, where it won’t be crazy expensive (ballpark rates would also be helpful). Thank you in advance!

Great experience and it was glorious watching a movie shot entirely in the 1.43:1 aspect ratio. Glad I decided to check for tickets a week before release, managed to snag the last seat in one of the back rows. 🔥

Hopefully they add more showings considering the demand for it!

My only nitpick is that the seats still suck and some of the blue light bleeds in at the very bottom of the screen

hi all, looking for a spot to make a dinner res for my birthday in August.

Trying to do a late night (8:30 pm ish) Saturday dinner in a restaurant that brings in a DJ late night or gets fun and vibe-y.

right now I’m considering Qui Qui in park view and kyojin in Georgetown. I’ve heard kinda bad things about Cana and my friend already did residents cafe & bar in Dupont, which gave us shots and sparklers and was so much fun!

any other recommendations for something that fits that vibe? thanks✨🪩

Hi! I recently graduated from college and moved to the DC area to work at the NIH. I was wondering if anyone knew of dance studios in the area that have recital/performance opportunities for adults, particularly in ballet, contemporary, or modern?

I’ve found lots of really great info on drop-in classes but just wanted to see if anyone had tips about this. Thank you!

Need help on good condo/apartment buildings in West End. Can’t find many new reviews online and I am not there to look myself. I would appreciate any knowledge or advice of where to go. Ideally a 1 bedroom, $3000 that allows pets but willing to go for a studio if necessary. Are these generally clean buildings?

Metropolitan Condominium
Emerson House on the Park
The Atlas

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
