Sorry to hear. I stayed there when I ran the marine corps marathon. Clean enough and the price was right. RIP key bridge Marriott

Oh man, you missed it in 2020. The entire tidal basin was deserted during the peak. You had the entire place to yourself, it was magical.

Should ban cars permanently

If you’re trying to go anywhere north east of Virginia you kinda have to.

Here you go.

Why do you think this is an easy fix?

There needs to be flyers around DC telling folks to ignore this obvious bait. Let them wallow in their hatred by themselves.

That’s how I get to work. Tourists should take the Metro though

I see them from a distance. That's enought for me. Yes, they are beautiful, but I don't need to fight the traffic to get close.

And when it’s not related to politics!

I hope birds shit on their heads.

I think it's a cool example of mid century or international style architecture. I'm all for new and cool stuff, but I wouldn't start here given lots of other stuff that was built in the 80's, 90'd

It literally makes zero sense in reality to pilot a 2000 pound, 30sqft machine, powered exclusively by geopolitically strategic resources, to a bottle neck park that is not at all equipped to handle your machine, on a beautiful day, in an area with plentiful public transit and walking and cycling trails.

And then multiple hundreds of people do it and then they get mad about it.

That is peak carbrain.

this is just a few blocks away:

"...... And then they murdered the little boy because he was different. The end. Wasn't that FUN kids?!"

"Umm...... Did you just tell 5 year olds a story about murder?"

"RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION BAN ALL LIBRARIES EXCEPT PRIVATE CHURCH ONES"

Driving in DC is absolutely crazy to me.

You are missing a beautiful, special experience TBH. Give it a try some time when there aren’t a ton of people there, it’s great.

serial killers

trolls gonna troll

they'll probably come up with some way to say they were cancelled and sue again

It's been many years since I drove down but the small parking lot right next to the Tidal Basin was one way and if some car in front of you decided they were gonna wait until a spot opened up then you were just SOL. I spent an hour in that damn parking lot

I’m just trying to get to the golf course man…

They were nice enough to wait for Spring to remove them.

There are so many places packed with cherry blossoms all around dc. There's a cemetery in NE that has an entire hill of them and it's nice to go sit there and read...maybe a little macabre for some. But yea. The tourist trap of cherry blossoms always bewilders me. Especially when they leave the garbage piles and make it crazy gross down there.

I flew in last night at sunset. There was a lot of emergency vehicles right at the parking lot where the boats are. Traffic was backed up and not moving across the bridge
