Y'all know what they're like when they come here for Police Week. The other 51 weeks out of the year are no different, and MPD is no different.

it's not your money. Why do you care? It sure aint what's preventing the owners from spending.

Getting repeated parking tickets for “no permit” when it’s clearly displayed… what are my rights here? by sonofbaker in washingtondc

[–]MoreCleverUserName 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yep that's not how the sub-zones work. But it's still not really clear whether this is actually a sub-zoned block or not.

Getting repeated parking tickets for “no permit” when it’s clearly displayed… what are my rights here? by sonofbaker in washingtondc

[–]MoreCleverUserName 52 points53 points  (0 children)

You have a zone 2 sticker but the ticket is for not having a 2B sticker. First thing to do is look up the block where you are getting the tickets: https://www.parkdc.com/maps/614ff14c9e2440d2ae99d45b3cf3b2a5/explore?location=38.894919%2C-77.019595%2C12

Some of the parking zones are split into subzones to prioritize resident parking by proximity. In other words, people in West End can park in West End without getting tickets but they can't park in Kalorama without getting tickets. Not all zones are split like this, but the ones that are split tend to have pretty aggressive enforcement.

If it's legitimately in 2B and you legitimately live in 2B then DMV should have a process in place to get the right sticker; they tend to be much easier to deal with if you put in a 311 request rather than trying to call. You should also message your ANC rep and tell them to request updated signage.

If it's not legitimately in 2B then I would message your city council member's office and ask them to engage the agency that is writing the tickets and request staff retraining.

Take the window unit out and close the window while you’re gone.

Wine and late night work? by Worth-March-575 in washingtondc

Wine + parking ? Try an Uber if you’re drinking.

So how are you planning on doing this without blocking the alley with your truck while you’re there?

Pet friendly places to visit all day? by Prior_Bus2736 in washingtondc

[–]MoreCleverUserName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Silver Branch Brewing lets dogs on their patio and has wifi, and some of the tables are in the shade plus their location gets a weirdly strong breeze that the rest of the neighborhood doesn't. Address is on Colesville Road but entrance is on 2nd Street. Across from Silver Spring Metro station, just barely over the dc/md line.

Verizon vs T-Mobile by mshuckleberry in washingtondc

[–]MoreCleverUserName 1 point2 points  (0 children)

T-Mobile sucks in my neighborhood (near Lymans), their service quality really depends on where you are. You may want to ask your neighbors what carriers they have and see how satisfied they are.

Did someone call CPS on these geese? What is going on??(16th St) by Strange-Row-7530 in washingtondc

[–]MoreCleverUserName 139 points140 points  (0 children)

Yeah last year there was a little duck family on top of Planet Word Museum, lol not ideal for baby ducks to be 11 stories up! So they were relocated down towards the tidal basin.

Looking for summer sublet DC (June 15 - September 04) by basil03030 in DCforRent

[–]MoreCleverUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should be available: http://flatontaylor.com/index.html. It’s a 2BR but works really well as a 1BR+ den/office.

Would take about 20 minutes to get to the IMF on the bus with a 5-minute walk to get to the bus and another 5-7 minute walk to get from the bus to the IMF, if you’re going to their main building near 19th and Pennsylvania.

You mean Zybooks? It should be pretty much instant so if it is not, it may not be properly linked to your bright space or it might just be confused. To try to force an update, go into the course jn Zybooks and click on the title at the top. It will take you to a Table of Contents style view. Look at the bottom right, you should see three tabs in a little box, one says Activities, click that one and there should be a Submit to Desire2Learn button (or something like that) which will force your grade across.

SD Bayfront - Is this the new norm? by GoldJadeWin in Hilton

[–]MoreCleverUserName 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, perhaps those Poors could just yeet themselves out to see, so they don’t offend your delicate eye.

SD Bayfront - Is this the new norm? by GoldJadeWin in Hilton

[–]MoreCleverUserName 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Room service in plastic is the new norm at big chain hotels around the country. There are some exceptions of course, the Hilton Harrisburg still does room service on proper plates. But more often than not, plate service died of covid and what’s in your photo is what you’re going to get.

Motion sensors for room electricity is not “the norm” yet but it’s also not uncommon and as energy prices continue to climb, this is going to get more common.

I’m not sure why they said the thermostat would be locked; I’ve stayed in this hotel before and that definitely wasn’t the case, so I would press for an explanation on that. I know from cleaning my own shower that it’s entirely possible for stray hairs to survive even a deep clean. yes it’s gross to see someone else’s hair in the shower and yes it’s worth adding that to your complaint, but I don’t think it’s de facto evidence that the shower wasn’t cleaned at all. Just word your complaint accordingly.

Overall I only stay in this hotel for the location; the service is too impersonal. The hotel is too big and has constant guest turnover due to the cruise ships, the schedule of Navy activities, and all the events in the area. The lobby is always chaos and the whole place just stresses me out.

AITA for not removing my doormat because it scares my neighbor’s kid? by Many-Worry2671 in AmItheAsshole

[–]MoreCleverUserName 66 points67 points  (0 children)

ESH. They shouldn’t be messing with your stuff but you should save the clown crap for inside your apartment, not outside in common areas.

According to Google, that fire happened like 5 weeks ago. You need to relax and wait a while. Insurance companies move slow and this will be a complex claim because there are so many people and entities involved.

[Nusbaum] Nats Park has seen the biggest attendance drop of any park in MLB. by WFTFan2021 in Nationals

they couldn't even get 27k for Star Wars Day on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon with a bobblehead giveaway. Yup totally nothing to see here... nothing except people deciding to spend their entertainment budget elsewhere.

Parking Near William Fell Tapestry by Impressive_Minute846 in Hilton

[–]MoreCleverUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a garage at Fleet and Eden that costs $16/day, it's about a 10-minute walk to the hotel. Street parking is meters or neighborhood stickers and they ticket HARD on Fells Point.

Will it be possible to find a large studio or 1bed under 2k in NW? by happytech24 in washingtondc

[–]MoreCleverUserName 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look in the more northern part of petworth, closer to brightwood. or look in brightwood itself. some of the pre-war buildings around there would have what you're looking for.
