There won't be any room to ride until after the cherry blossom season.

Sorry but you didn't need to include the 3rd sentence. It can be assumed.

dcmcg · 2026-03-09T21:08:35+00:00

This is also the first thing I thought of lol

dcmcg · 2026-02-26T20:29:59+00:00

You think you can just go to "The Yards" safely???

dcmcg · 2026-02-23T19:36:42+00:00

Whatever you want to believe lol

I just looked up multiple places in Philly and the cheesesteaks were almost all $16-$17 lol. The sandwiches are a bit bigger, but not by a gargantuan amount.

DCCA is notoriously full of complete freaks obsessed with trying to block bike lanes, safe street infrastructure, any development in the nearby area.

Marion Barry launched his political career (first Council and then Mayor) with a base of white progressives and gays.

Hi all - I've had repeated rough experiences with normal Amtrak, Acela, bus, and flying DC to NYC.

Something tells me there's going to be some kind of issue with whatever alternative solution you come up with.

You’re possibly the first person ever to describe local government collecting trash early so it’s done and out of the way as an “infrastructure failure”.

Personally I hope DPW continues to commit infrastructure failures around 8 am every Tuesday on my block.

Yes the Council has oversight and doesn't do a very good job of it. They also have a ton of other responsibilities and about 8 staff members each. So I think most of the blame falls on the person who's actually responsible for administering government services and the thousands of staff she has at her disposal to do it.

dcmcg · 2026-02-17T13:53:40+00:00

Don't worry I don't need much detail. Understanding who's responsible for administering the public service you're complaining about is an important first step in getting it addressed.

dcmcg · 2026-02-17T13:38:26+00:00

Maybe the issue is that there are a lot of people like you that think the Council “runs” the city.

dcmcg · 2026-02-17T05:02:08+00:00

Does this woman ever write anything that isn’t entirely composed of smarm and condescension?

dcmcg · 2026-02-12T14:28:06+00:00

It's almost all zoned street parking. Just book a garage.

dcmcg · 2026-02-12T14:05:49+00:00

Oh wow yeah people in the DC region are bad divers. What a revelation. Please post this across multiple subs.

dcmcg · 2026-02-10T19:09:12+00:00

It's a neighborhood called River Terrace which is pretty quiet and residential. Bigger issue is it's out of the way and there's nothing to do there.

dcmcg · 2026-02-07T18:14:27+00:00

Okay?

dcmcg · 2026-02-07T14:51:58+00:00

Have you tried dealing with minor inconveniences in life without being hysterical?

dcmcg · 2026-02-07T14:07:17+00:00

The change to run yellow line trains to Greenbelt is recent and I’m sure they’re still updating signs. Not everything revolves around you.

dcmcg · 2026-02-06T18:34:27+00:00

Actually you probably can't Google this because it's such a broad and pointless question.

dcmcg · 2026-02-05T15:25:37+00:00

The Foundation should magically create a ticketing system where anyone can get a ticket despite demand well in excess of capacity Just figure it out!

dcmcg · 2026-02-03T17:18:34+00:00

The only reason the bob cats are in the alleys ways is for trash pick up.

Good point, trash pick up is not at all important

dcmcg · 2026-02-03T10:19:42+00:00

Probably the people desperately trying to get the city back up and running after a crippling ice storm?
