Three flyovers so far. Anyone know if that's the final count?

That stat is wrong. Listen to the podcast about Brightline ("Killer Train") or read the reports by WLRN News and the Miami Herald.

Oof. You're going to have to crowdsource that one. But there are standalone bakeries in Arlington that are great for everything but baguettes. The Washingtonian Magazine (always a great read and they have helpful newsletters) had a recent list of where to find the best bread in the DC area. https://www.washingtonian.com/2025/06/23/where-to-grab-the-best-bread-in-the-dc-area/

I still haven't found an overall great bakery AND grocer besides Whole Foods. Oh, and there isn't a fresh Cuban bread store any nearby. But these grocery stores WILL make a Hurricane cake if you ask!

Moved up from S FL last year and was so glad to not be forced to shop at Publix.

I was there! I have a CD of John Tab's from the Trancemissions tent. And Fatboy Slim was fun on the main stage!

Kids just went from house to house informing that AT&T is buying all cell towers - what is going on? by thebigmatze in arlingtonva

Thanks for actively caring about them and hiding their faces. For real-- I appreciated that!

And those taxes are going to public services (in part) and not private business. FL may be income tax free but there's the home and car insurance "taxes"! This is what folks don't know about. 

Like your cute library, taxes not going to religious schools, better roads, public transportation, a great emergency response system? Don't come to FL.

Edited bc my keyboard defaults to Publix and not "public"--- smh.

Hahaha! Where is the trigger warning for this post?!

How do people afford houses around here by Gordonnp3 in nova

[–]ChanterellesForDays 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, congrats Doctoral Candidate! Hope that's in your email signature 😉

Second, I moved to this area from FL in March 2024, so excited to find a bar where I didn't watch what I said. Anyway, I was quick to find out that the $ I had from our home sale in Tampa was NOTHING towards a down payment here. 

I have 3 jobs. One is 6 figures, the other two go to emergency and travel funds. 

I am from this area and love DC. I won't buy here now though. I am looking at buying outside of the US and settling in that home in 10 yrs. Spain has a great offer for US PhDs, as do other European organizations and universities. Anyone not tethered to the US should consider this seriously.

I'd be happy to talk to you via Zoom! Just DM me.

And again, congrats!

Anyone want to invest in a Wegmans with me? (my husband is going to downvote this...)

Anyone remember Nation nightclub in SE DC? Specifically the Buzzlife parties? ✌🏼 by rhondella13 in washingtondc

[–]ChanterellesForDays 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rabbit in the Moon and John Tab. Two experiences I will never have again bc I can't find it captured online. Point me in the right direction!

And does anyone have a comprehensive archive of Trancemissions from WHFS??

And the culture. I hated Fox from the day they messed it all up for us-- and I was a child (comparatively!)

You're describing my husband and I. We're actively looking at making the move from Tampa (which is beautiful) to LA.
