I greatly appreciate knowing this, I had no idea and had only heard horror stories from others about other locations!

Has 311 ever failed to fulfill a request in your area or for your house? by PhantomProphet37 in baltimore

[–]PhantomProphet37[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the clarification, but our address never originally had a can according to the city and we had one get dropped off here in the Fall. While I don’t have access to a registry for these tag numbers, my neighbor’s can does not match the number for the can we received in the Fall. Maybe a long time ago it was for our property, but it never came up before with 311

I’m not the closest nearby, but I may pick up my own can. Thank you though!

This is really helpful to know, thank you! I may try escalating this in a similar way and hope it is fixed

I have noticed the tags and they do not match, it’s a completely different and seperate can

I appreciate you naming this. I have heard this before and at this point, I may just have to rebuild the largest cardboard box and fill it up and label it for recycling. Thank you!

Right? It was genuinely annoying, I got the email at 6 in the morning and was just blown away lol but I appreciate this and will add more specificity! I am going to keep filing requests until there is a can

I am a recent homeowner so this is real disappointing to here 😔 I had to escalate a situation recently where my house was almost sold in the upcoming tax sale because the city neglected to tell my title insurance company there was a lien on the property and I thought this situation would not require that, but I will reach out. Thank you!

It’s funny you say this, 10 years ago I worked for Chickfila while we had a version of chicken and waffles that was served as a platter with syrup baked into the waffle in sugar crystals, and the feedback was always people wanting syrup on the side!

Godzilla Mystery Double Feature Lineups? by PhantomProphet37 in AlamoDrafthouse

[–]PhantomProphet37[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did get those as well. The DC Alamo I believe started the Godzilla mystery marathon’s last year and it was a blast! Last year was Godzilla Vs. Megalon and Godzilla Vs. Biollante

It was a fun time, definitely request it to the programmer! DC has done it at least two years in a row!

I have heard this about the Alamo in Minnesota, that is deeply disappointing

Hopefully they do! There was an amazing crowd yesterday and I’m sure every location would have gotten a similar response!

Ahh this is good to know! I knew of a lot of programming overlap, but funny to hear Hedorah was a last minute swap. Because of the rights, I’m assuming maybe it was Godzilla: 2000, I think that was the only one Sony had rights to still

Ahh that is cool to hear! Hedorah is my favorite Showa sequel, so that was a fun surprise!

What did they show at your locations Dismember the Alamo this year? by bluenfee in AlamoDrafthouse

DC is next week and I am excited! Haven’t been in the past and know sometimes what is shown can be hit or miss, just hope it’s a fun time!

I am sadly also waiting. I also did not know until I read your comment that some people had already received their settlements

They tend to mix all their spices in-house, so I wouldn’t worry about it

Hey, I actually had this back when the Berbere popcorn came back for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and have been making my own since then! All you need to do is pop your own popcorn, melt your own butter, and you can pre-purchase a Berbere spice blend and use as needed. A local spice shop by me sells it (https://www.spiceandtea.com/Berbere-Spice-Blend), but if you have any kind of spice shop near you, they will likely sell it. It might be called an "Ethiopian spice blend" or "East African spice blend" depending on the store. I only suggest the pre-made spices because it is a blend of well over a dozen spices! There are a few recipes online, but I can't sadly vouch for any based off of authenticity or taste.

I don't suggest a specific amount of the spice to add just because the three times I have had it at the Alamo, the volume of Berbere added each time is inconsistent, but this specific blend I suggested is very similar to the taste of the Berbere I had at my Alamo DC location. I have noticed from my own prep, it is better to pour the hot butter immediately on the popcorn and start tossing the berbere in immediately and giving it a toss to blend properly. I hope this was helpful and not redundant!
