It’s almost like these things happen at the same time every year and roads are reopened by late morning anyway!!

Those chocolate chop cookies were fire, too! People around here were so kind today.

This. Three years ago, I was staying at the Marriott Wardman Park for an event, but my bus pulled into Union Station three minutes after the last Red Line to Shady Grove left. Had I not remembered that the 96 bus also connected the two points, I would’ve had to spend money on an Uber/Lyft or a cab.

Yes, how perfectly awful of them. I agree.

No doubt. I used to love riding my bike when I lived in the district.

Not angry at the runners, I just don't get it.

This is great news. Car-obsessed cyclist haters are too myopic in their thinking to realize that this benefits them in the long run as well.

It was open early at least a few years ago. I think this past year as well

With 1 hr frequency? Sure you can. Maintenance is done on live tracks all the time. Maintainers call themselves train dodgers for a reason.

There’s a Chuy’s pretty nearby in Virginia and I think it does pretty well. It’s not even the best tex mex but I’m from Texas and it tastes like home haha.

Maybe the city could fix the horrific pavement conditions so that it is safe to ride a bike?

When I pass /u/cnote5 while I'm running I definitely go out of my way to put an extra bounce in my step to make sure my glutes get fully engaged, lol..

The run was fun! I hope people aimed the cups in the recycling bins better though.

I took a bikeshare there and dropped it off at Freedom Plaza. Faster than driving.

There was an awesome older lady (and her husband) who were standing outside their house on North Capitol St. handing out these super tasty chocolate chip cookie squares that were cut small enough to pop.
There was another guy handing out packaged candy near McMillion. And then of course the "Calvert Fill Station" was in full force too.
I always get a kick out of the folks who are in lawn chairs with beers and music going and just yelling / cheering on passersby because why not, lol.
TL;DR - at least some residents have a lot of fun with it!

I don’t know if things have changed, but Metro used to charge $100K per hour to extend service for special events. Of course, that shitstain Mark Lerner didn’t want to come out of pocket to pay it.

You’ve gotta warn the other Texans when you’re coming next time so we can put in some orders for HEB seasonings, tortillas, etc.
