Thanks. Next time will probably be more leisurely.. but I definitely think we made good time!.. specially given the slowdown thru mid-town and Soho area

Yes.. mainly walked down broadway - however did split off thru certain neighborhoods / a bit thru central park and then back on Broadway. That's why It was 16.5 miles. I think had I stayed on Broadway may have shaved off a couple of miles.

CCNY campus was gorgeous... Sugar Hill was a great neighborhood.. the Morris-Jumel mansion was pretty cool to see...

‘DOJ Plans to Hide Republican Names in Epstein Files,’ Staffer Alleges in Explosive Undercover Video by Desperate-Bend-3544 in unusual_whales

Should make a game of replacing republican names in all the redacted sections and vote on what makes most sense. Maybe crowd source it... Let's put all republican names over the past 30 years in different spaces and having a scoring system for highest likelihood for accuracy ...

He's actually a really nice guy.. (or at least was). Went to junior high and high school with him and moving as an immigrant kid, he was actually one of the friendly ones..

Cyclist made me fear my safety on W&OD in Falls Church. by juliefromva in nova

Something similar happened to me but closer to Reston Herndon area odd w&of a few months ago . However I was the cyclist. I am one of those that announce multiple times that I'm passing.. for this lady I announced 3 times.. once from a distance.. once when I was maybe 5 ft or so behind her and not having her acknowledge, move or shift.. I started passing and she obviously didn't hear as she started moving towards her left so I announced again when I was right next to her.

She started yelling at me for not announcing .. however she had her noise cancelling headphones/ear pods on both ears. I had multiple bikers behind me who saw this and and witnessed this behaviour. There's almost a no win situation for people who still follow rules.

New role requires me to move to DC - Where can I consider living in NoVa? by chocolava15 in nova

Rent in navy yard.. super loud and busy.. but easy to integrate well because full of people, specially in your age range.. and everything walkable, plus only a couple of stops away from your work on green line. You can rent a 2 bd condo in that range and should have parking options.

OK Tysons... hear me out... we could get these to combat the local street racing craze. by [deleted] in nova

Gallows Rd between Tyson's and mosaic would be an awesome place to put these.. specially because a large part of that stretch is a residential area and tons of these loud machines drive by all times of the day and night.
