Also several parking lots normally open are closed due to Metro staging construction equipment on them for the Yellow Line rehabilitation.

Just call it a bonsai like the beautiful beast it is

I had to switch to Fios in one apartment and it was much worse than my Xfinity experience, so careful what you wish for!

There have been a lot of posts asking more or less the same question in this sub in the past few days.

Why do you assume that was their intentions? I read it and thought they were really curious.

You don’t have money for all that on 100k in the DC area. That income will only cover housing.

When I called the Uber in the morning I did not realize how bad it was going to be. Normally its a short reasonably priced trip and by the time I did it was too late to take metro or walk or I would have been late.

And by the time I walked to those metro stops road the escalators and waded through all of the crowded and sweaty trains I could have walked home!!!!! But you know the thought never crossed my mind to take metro lol.

On Ohio drive on the other side of the trees. That road is terrible without the cherry blossoms, I can’t imagine it right now.

That’s funded and construction is in progress. Provided republicans in the general assembly don’t kill it.

The National is two blocks from Metro Center and Kalorama is an easy walk to either Dupont or Woodley Park.

I saw a different stumpy. I’ll have to remember to take a picture when I drive by tomorrow.

Because that’s what murican culture/mythology says.

You mean like how the trains are peaceful and run so often I literally never have to check when they're coming, just like in a real civilized city?

It's like they aren't ever going to see the trees again. Are they expecting something bad to happen to the trees?

I also grew up in the area and it seems like in recent years people care about them way more than they used to. I'm convinced social media has made the crowds way bigger. Everyone wants an instagram them, and news about the bloom spreads faster online than it used to.

It’s all explained in this song by DC’s own Middle Distance Runner Cherry Blossom Bop.

If you're willing to cross the river, there are some good options in NoVa:

Fair enough. Sounds better than spending $50 to sit in an Uber for an hr, but to each their own.

Do you have any clippings/photos/memorabilia you can post? This sounds awesome!

No not really but thanks wish I would have thought of that :).

Unfortunately there is not a train that gets close enough in between the two points that I was going. Besides the fact that even if there was the idea of the crowds was not a good one.

we parked in crystal city by the treatment plant and rode up MV trail and crossed at 14th. the MV had its normal amount of tourist traffic on a nice day. once we crossed the bridge it was a shit show around the tidal basin. we ended up lane splitting and going against traffic since the sidewalks were at a crawl. multiple motorists were pissy even though they weren’t moving and there was no risk of us hitting their cars. we went up 14th and then over to georgetown to hobo drink some beers by the river. that side of town was its normal warm day self.

Classic DC liberal argument. Asking to address crime is fascist!!

Yes, was going to say, the ones in DC have particular historical significance.
