I used to live in SW within walking distance of there and oh god how I hated cherry blossom season. Sometimes it would take almost 30 minutes to get out of my own neighborhood. Tourists would literally park their cars on the 14th Street Bridge sometimes. Once I got stuck behind this lady driving slow down the middle of G St SW while her husband walked 10 feet in front of her talking to her on the phone while he looked for a parking spot.

It's nice in the Palisades.

No

Cars are a absolutely the problem. You don’t need a 12 foot 5000lb pound vehicle to move people in this use case. This is a scenic area, you should be walking or biking. There are plenty of metro stops to park at outside the city and ride in for the walk or bike, you can bring a bike on metro at any time or use bike share.

Go around

What's different about the Towson one?

Cars don’t drive themselves. Banning cars means banning drivers driving their cars there. Don’t get semantic

Round 1

Yeah, but—and hear me out on this— it’s really bad to have bullets flying around the city regardless of who they’re intended for; people in dangerous neighborhoods deserve safety too; and ultimately the more this stuff happens the easier it is for it to break out of these patterns.

Lol I parked at a parking garage on D street and walked over to the tidal basin yesterday. It was easy

Such a perfect picture. Well done!

Nah, they just closed the streets and prevented parking.

Pretty dumb advice, considering southeast has some nice and safe areas. I think people who give that advice say “SE” when they mean “EOTR”

Riding a bike to actually get to that road however was not fun. The entrance to East Potomac Park was absolutely packed with cars and you had to ride in between the gridlocked cars since there was no space on the road or the sidewalk.

They’re both slightly different, so it’s kind of nice to have a variety (if you can tolerate the drive lol)

Nah, I was guessing it was a camera with a proper lense, not a phone.

Wasn't NPS kicking people out of the parks during cherry blossoms in 2020?

I had a 5 pm tee time at east Potomac last night. The drive in was not optimal.

Don't think I've been to the Towson location, so I can only speak for Woodbridge

The Cave in Fairfax has Japanese rhythm games

Also Towson

Glenwood cemetery in Lincoln rd ne.

Had an incredible bar on the top floor looking down the river. They had a signature cocktail, I don't remember the name, it was like a sidecar with grapefruit juice. Very sad to see this landmark go.
