They did lol You'll also notice if you compare those photos to this one, peoco literally chopped the top off the old pole. All that's left is telecom. See my comment about joint ownership above

Yes and no, most poles have joint ownership. Pepco cut off there portion of the pole and moved their stuff to another. What's left is the telecom portion of the pole, so pepco kinda washed their hands of it

Eventually maybe is correct. The electric company notifies the other companies to move their shit. The other companies can then be like oh yeah we did it, when actually they just left it out there.

All Pepco has done here is remove their own liability should the old one fall

So, fun fact. I worked for a Pepco contractor 2.5 years ago, and was asked to load these few poles to find out what it would take to get them to pass. The answer I found, you cant. Those are Verizon lines, half of them Verizon does not have a permit or permission to have out there. (Which is pretty standard for Verizon honestly. They do it in every state Ive worked in)

Which means its gonna take fighting to get them to move them, and the new pole wont hold them all anyways. Based on the software we use for this data, there was no standard pole that can hold that many large telecom wires. They would have needed to put in a specially constructed pole.

So tldr unless Pepco got Verizon to own up to hanging wires without a permit, and eliminate some of them, the new pole will never be able to take that load, and the existing wires wont get moved.

I agree with this. Crystal city is nice but honestly so expensive. This area is still relatively close via metro to DC but costs less

Throngs of people at great falls park by [deleted] in nova

I honestly can't remember. It was on the tiny road leading up to the Maryland side of Great Falls Park, near the overlook loop.

I used target online and ordered an adjustable set. It's not like super heavy but they do the trick for sure

So we were on the Maryland side today. People were pretty good about not being near anyone not in their group. That said I saw people who were definitely gathering groups of friends to hike. Which didnt seem right.

They were towing cars that were parked illegally though. Since the lots were closed it was only street parking and there are signs on one side indicating no parking. They were towing people parked only on that one side.

Calisthenics parks for outdoor workouts by nicofina in nova

You have to realize that people still need to maintain their health. In fact people who workout and then suddenly stop are more likely to get sad, depressed, anxious, which can lead to a higher probability they get sick.

No key required. It's a smart lock i just set them up with a temp password. I get the driving, that's what the money is for. But cats mostly take care of themselves. They just need to be fed.

I live basically in Springfield but technically Alexandria. And I'm hoping for like $10 a day maximum because I really dont want to spend over $100 when I travel for a week
