... having to dig too deep below the Potomac and that Georgetown wasn't considered a work location during the initial design when Metro was primarily considered a way to ferry suburbanites in and out of their DC office buildings?

This killed me!

Prego in Eastern Market.

I could not find them on social media

Probably same reason there is no metro stop.

Its very old and one of the most exclusive neighborhoods in the country. No one gets to live in Georgetown for free except wealthy college kids. /s

> Folks are acting like people are going to start camping out if a coffee shop has a few more tables/benches

Have you been to Compass Coffee on 7th Street or Spring Valley? That’s been exactly my experience at both locations. I think it’s totally reasonable to have tables available for people to enjoy their drink, but that requires people to enjoy their own beverage and move on.

They’re going to ruin it for the occasionally 4-8 hour sitters one day.

> I can’t believe we’ve reached a point in society where asking to have a damn seat after you bought a coffee for $10+ (not including the tip you were probably asked to add at checkout) is considered wholly unreasonable.

It seems like there’s three types of people who go to coffee shops:

1. Buy coffee to-go and leave.
2. Buy coffee and sit at the cafe while drinking it.
3. Buy coffee and sit at the cafe for multiple hours while working/studying/reading.

The coffee costs the same for all three customers, but the third group of people makes it much harder for the second group of people to exist. Almost every time I go to Compass on 7th Street or Spring Valley, it’s filled with people from Group 3. Not really sure how to change this besides putting a time limit on tables.

Seconding those who mention looking for them on social media, in DC especially check LinkedIn and our neighborhood (I live within 1 block of Oyster Adams and Marie Reed) is pretty active on NextDoor so check those too!

Hello! I am arriving from Europe this weekend… is there any chance they’ll still be around to see next week?

3D police station is right there on V St. They should take it and try to contact the owner(by phone if the owners phone number is on file, or by mail if not).

Alternatively, I'm pretty sure you can just drop it in a mailbox and they'll try to get it back to the address on the ID.

Cracked Eggery is so good

I’m def looking up the schedule and going back it’s a good time.

🤦‍♀️ Ok, if you’re really in Odenton you’re going to have a bit of a drive to a Metro station, but it will still be better than trying to drive downtown. Odenton is a MARC station, and you'd have to check and see if those trains run on Sundays. Otherwise drive to the Greenbelt Metro and take the train in from there.

Here are the instructions for using USPS to mail it back to the address on the ID: https://faq.usps.com/s/article/How-Can-Found-Key-and-Identification-Devices-Be-Mailed-to-the-Owner

Have you tried contacting who it belonged to? That’s the first thing I’d do. Try looking them up on social media and try to return it to them.

Are you genuinely curious? If so, I’d be happy to dm you a photo of it

Yeah, it’s been back for a couple months to the best of my knowledge. Definitely a very welcoming event.

Are you seriously suggesting someone commute to Hyattsville for a cup of coffee and a seat? That would be so relaxing.

I don’t usually bring my laptop with me to cafes, but when I do, I never leave it unattended on a table. If I have to go to the bathroom, my laptop, phone, and wallet are all coming with me. But I’ll leave a jacket, book, or bag on the table to save my spot.
