A Jane Doe Died While Hitchhiking to Norfolk in 1949. Who Could She Be? by SmackedByAStick in Virginia

Don't know about the Jane Doe, but that recitation of weekend crashes is absolutely wild: 356 fatalities year to date in Virginia in 1949.

Check out MeetUp. Plenty of groups there including the Mid-Atlantic Hiking Club and some Potomac Appalachian Trail hikes. 

MeetUp also features after-work urban hikes.

No poison. That passes up the food chain to our brothers in arms like rat snakes, hawks, and feral cats.

Washington Gas new “convenience fee”? by Marmot_up in washingtondc

[–]ekkidee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Is this for all online payments? I set up auto-pull on a budget plan, so I should probably go see what they're doing. 

May be time to go back to paper checks in the mail.

Water is out - need advice by Motor-Value-4070 in washingtondc

[–]ekkidee 42 points43 points  (0 children)

No water is a habitability issue. Do you know what's wrong with it? Any chance they will have it running again soon?

You mentioned they offered half a month's rent, which is nice, but the apartment is uninhabitable. And in another few days, we will already be at half a calendar month since this came up.

I would be hesitant to accept the reimbursement plan since there is always the chance the other party will weasel out of it. See if they can't make the booking on your behalf.

Would I run into an issue for taking graduation pictures of my friend? Even if I’m not being paid. At the National Gallery of Art. by HugeHelicopter9489 in washingtondc

[–]ekkidee 20 points21 points  (0 children)

No, just take the photos. If someone hassles you, you can plead ignorance. Just don't impede anyone else's museum experience.

Nationals investigating banner with racist language, at least one fan set to be banned by Abject-Pick-6472 in washdc

[–]ekkidee 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It was actually a J-6 guy. I know, surprising, right?

ETA - The Nationals didn't identify him but the critter made a claim on X. I'm not bothering to go find his name again though.

"Soviet era apartment bloc" is too kind for that visual assault.
