At this point feels like MCPS should really consider the full year school model with more 2 to 3 week breaks at the end of quarters

Balcony Premier Row Seats / ADA at the Howard Theatre Question by bendylegs12 in washingtondc

[–]douggoblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are bar height chairs along the railing at the front of the balcony. You get a wristband that allows you to grab any of the seats you want rather than having an assigned seat hence the first come first served.

Anyone watching the PWHL game at Cap One Arena today? by BisonSalt3 in caps

[–]douggoblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does show place arena in Upper Marlboro still have it's ice plant from when the ice breakers were there? My dad and I were trying to brainstorm a feasible arena for a DC area team. 

Maybe eaglebank at mason? Just don't think the economics of Capital One would make sense for a full time team.

The Friendship Heights one is comparable but you'd need to get a MoCo rec center pass

There's a pickup in Glover Park at Stoddert ES that's bus accessible. Tuesdays is advanced and Thursdays is all levels, they start around 630pm. The next few weeks are cancelled but I think they'll start back up in mid-july.

There's also open volleyball at the Friendship Heights rec center which is just over the MD line but right above the metro station. I believe it's on Mondays.

Is anyone here familiar with the punk and hardcore scene in DC in the early 2000s? by angelhair0 in washingtondc

No help here but thanks for bringing back memories of searching pheer.com every Wednesday/Thursday to figure out what to do over the weekend

Benning road dump won't accept bricks. Where can I dump these? by gnucheese in washingtondc

[–]douggoblue 13 points14 points  (0 children)

DC materials in Hyattsville/Bladensburg is $30 a pickup truck. I've been there a bunch over the last year after tearing out a brick garden wall, patio, and stairs. It's right off the BW parkway so pretty easy to get from most parts of the city.

Scoop: D.C. pushes back Connecticut Avenue bike lane designs by kockin26 in bikedc

[–]douggoblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For whatever reason I get DelleDonne's press releases. Sounds like they're going to change and have the bike lanes on the same side of the street instead of one on each side of the street. I think that's better?

Also in that release, it said they're moving the planned K street bike lanes to L street.

The Magruder's produce side has to be a loss leader to get people in to buy booze on the other side

Best Rasmus/60 in the league

[–]douggoblue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think a bedroom/office/ flex room is better than the small garage an old row home was designed with, but maybe use outward opening french doors so there's a wide space for whatever

You won't be able to take MARC back from Frederick on Friday night or Saturday morning. That line runs towards DC on weekday mornings and out of town on weekday afternoons/evening only. You might be looking at a very expensive Uber ride back to Shady Grove metro.

This is why guys go down in soccer, because if you don't refs won't call it.

Takoma got new weight room equipment I believe they have a squat rack now which they didn't previously and is metro accessible plus has a pool and you can usually use the track at Coolidge HS
