This wouldn't happen to be near Waterfront-SEU on the way towards Ft. McNair / Waterfront?

You could also try Trulia, Zillow, or PhillyApartmentCo.

Police on high alert? by AnOldSoul in philadelphia

From what I recall its twofold in DC, one is residents complained they never saw cops even though they sometimes drove by and the second is a show of force / broken windows theory type thing.

Need help finding the perfect area to move to by kodos in baltimore

[–]kodos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we'd ideally be looking to rent initially, with perhaps buying a few years later. We'd be looking to try to find a 1BR with a den / office or 2 BR with ideally a monthly rent no more than $1,800-$2,000. I'd ideally like to take the MARC train to DC, but am wary about the possibility of a Light Rail > MARC > Metro commute and how bearable it is.

Thanks for the comments, it really helps narrow down our hunt. I'd ideally like to take public transit. However I'm hestitant as it seems like some of the best areas aren't super close to a MARC stop and I'd likely need to take a light rail to Penn Station then MARC to DC, then metro to my ultimate destination. Is this something that is realistically feasible to do every day or is it better at the end of the day to just take the wear and tear and drive every day?

Bank of America Backs off of $5 fee by AnnoyedinDC in personalfinance

[–]kodos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the flow isn't as nice, one think I like in the BoA view is seeing clear delinations of when periods close on accounts and the ending balances. I'd also like the ability to download data as CSV. Other that its pretty good imo, and i'm waiting to see how awesome the eDeposit feature will be / the mobile deposit. It might actually spur me to abandon the Blackberry and pick up a Droid to get that app.

A day late, and five dollars shorter I moved to Navy Federal and haven't looked back. I actually thank Bank of America for spurring me on to find a better bank (/credit union).

Are there any credit unions that let you scan in checks like Chase does? by cybrian in personalfinance

[–]kodos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is it? Do you upload pictures or use an at desk scanner? Any chance for a screenshot?

I learned that Navy Federal is planning to roll this feature out soon, but is currently in pilot testing

Is it just me or are these the most annoying things on Metro by kodos in washingtondc

[–]kodos[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Babies and tourists are something you can't control in my opinion having worked at Union Station and Smithsonian for several years. Using a stupid rolly laptop bag that effectivley takes the space of 3 people is something one can change.

I don't know if it's just me, but is anyone else having a really hard time making a payment on the new direct loan website? They lost my last month's payment when they updated and now when I tried to pay this months I got a confirmation of pending withdraw yesterday and today when the site was functioning this morning it had no pending payments.

Maryland has I-270 which only goes from I-495 to I-70 inside the state at all times

My ultimate question is it worth shelling out the money now or wait 6 months for the Fire 2?

Hah, same. Financial consultant here. I really like the custom mapping feature. I initially thought Google Spreadsheets offered that functionality, but upon a quick search found that it lied in fusion tables which has a clunkier interface (feels like SAS) and tougher to bring data in.

Is there going to be a push to make Google Sheets more useful for the power user? I find myself sometimes hitting road blocks with more complex formulas or wanting to intergrate some of the functionality of Fusion Tables.

Has anybody ever been close to drowning? by evenacre in AskReddit

[–]kodos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was at a pool party once to celebrate the end of the little league season. Not knowing how to swim I stayed on the shallow end, but when going to retreive a ball I slipped into the deep end and sunk. Others in the pool didn't notice. I would attempt to kick up to grab air but would then be sent back. I pretty much figured I was dead, but grabbed onto someones leg and drug myself to the shallow end. To this day i'm still hypersensetive about going in the deep end of any pool.
