Today is just a half marathon so it'll be over soon. There isn't a major marathon tomorrow. If you're thinking of the Marine Corps Marathon in October, I agree, but someone would have to pay for the extra service.

I found it more expensive, but was living in Uptown (Dallas) before moving to DC, so not too crazy different. However, in Dallas I lived in a brand new apartment with one roommate and in DC I lived in a 1900’s row home with 3 other roommates. Still loved the experience of living in an old row home full of history and stories. I did grow up in Plano TX where you can get a veryyyyy nice home for what a one bedroom condo would cost in DC. 🥲 that one is hard to get over but I’m willing to make it work because I love the area so much!

Guided tour of the National Cathedral is a must IMO. The Library of Congress is beautiful, and you can get a card while you're there. I held sheet music handwritten by Louis Armstrong. Love the Arboretum.

Also, small thing, but whenever I take visitors to the mall, we stop by the echo chamber outside the Canadian embassy. Always good for a video and a laugh 🙂

Eh, businesses in the area can use all the help they can get so I don’t mind these events bringing lots of people together

$600 still isn’t CHEAP for a whole lot of people though. It’s not about the price of the car you’re comparing it to. It’s about the value of $600 that a whole lot of people don’t have just laying around.

It looks like there is a 5K and half marathon today. I’m not seeing anything about a full marathon tomorrow

Thanks for visiting! Glad you enjoyed your trip. Come back soon :)

How do you figure out how the buses are detouring? Using Transit app or Metrobus trip planner it just says “buses are detouring til 4p” but theres no map or indicator of what that actually means if youre trying to catch a bus… is there a map somewhere or something? It feels impossible to actually plan

Just think how many would have been shot if this city wasn't so safe!

Check out the Asian grocery stores! Such as Good Fortune Super Supermarket in Falls Church, and Great Wall Supermarket in Rockville. They are a little far away from DC though… but they have plenty of fresh cheap vegetables!

I've been here almost 20 years coming from West Palm Beach and it's easily my favorite place that I've ever lived!

They do sometimes. Just not this marathon.

The National Arboretum is also great for that (and in general).

Yeah. In May, the yellow line should reopen. We're getting more of the newer trains in the next months, which I really hope will make the red faster. But you never know.

Great to hear. No doubt there are crummy parts of the city but it’s a great city. I moved here over 20 years ago from Florida, and this city has made amazing transformations since then.

Hey, i am in Alexandria VA now lol

derailments in 2021

Look forward to everyone losing their mind every year during rock n' roll.

For you to say the food was fantastic, you must not live in Houston. As a native Houstonian DC food is BS!

Even easier would be for the District to move all marathons to 295/695 or just have them run loops on the mall and save us all the hassle.

Or maybe, instead of Metro and everyone else adjusting their day to the recreational needs of a horde of yuppies, maybe a for-profit company should not be allowed to shut down a huge swath of public space for hours each year.

What’s the cheapest car you can get? What do new car tires cost? Ebikes are a stupid cheap car replacement.

$600 (agree with another poster that that’s way too cheap) is like 6-8 months of car insurance.

Thanks for the tips!

Thanks!
