You have to find a licensed falconer to sponsor you, take a test and get 80% or higher and then apprentice under a general or master falconer for two years

It really depends on where you are. For some people it's an extra 15 min, for some people it's 2-3x longer than driving because you have to transfer, do the metro, etc. I like it but it really really really depends where you live.

I solo travel to DC all the time and see if you can trek over to Ambar (there's a new-ish location in Shaw just up the Green Line from Penn Quarter)

$35 all you can eat brunch and $50 all you can eat dinner - small Balkan tapas, just get a reservation at the bar and order as much food as you can possibly eat.

Boston is actually number 2 in the country for annual transit ridership per track mile (a distant 2 behind NYC).

Yeah I feel like you walk a lot further in 6-7 minutes than you'd think. Especially in a tunnel with not a lot going on.

I'd love to but it would costs $160 round trip to take an Uber or get to a train. Horrible transportation system here

It what you’re doing is also harmful. Instead of pointing out what real sex trafficking may look like, you’re basically telling people that your suspicions are false and it’s likely not sex trafficking. The exact opposite of what raising awareness of sex trafficking should look like.

the new metro GM is doing a really good job with the hand he's been dealt.

Their smaller, bit more casual sister restaurant Bantam King, has a tightly curated menu with ramen or fried chicken. The ramen is good but I love their Nashville fried chicken. It has a communal table, doesn’t take reservations and is just enough off the beaten path that you can often get in when you can’t get a table or find a spot at the bar at the larger restaurants in Penn Quarter.

But isn’t that what you’re doing? Like exactly what you’re doing?

Yeah the thing I think we need more of in the area is honestly more commuter rail. Expand MARC and VRE to cover more places with better frequency and fewer stops

Alcohol is prohibited at Rock Creek Park(and all the parks, really), so I wouldn't consider that "booze friendly."

DC and Boston were neck in neck, but I think DC is on the upswing now with a competent GM and recent big wins like the Dulles extension. Unfortunately, Boston is now entering its "Red Line on fire" phase

DC metro is also way cleaner. Like the dirtiest metro station I have ever been is cleaner than the cleanest NYC subway station.

Aren't most breweries in the area treated like toddlers birthday parties every weekend?

Free for me. The federal government pays for my metro commute.

The Lane in Ivy City

I did and completely made a bad call in renting this place. She said the walls were soundproof only light noise would come through

It's smooth and mostly flat. Best trail in the region by a long shot.

Metro is free?

Some people enjoy driving and being by themselves. I get that, especially if you can't tune out everyone around you. For me, Metro is faster than driving from MoCo and best opportunity to relax before my kid goes to bed.

I'm someone doing the reverse of this.

My wife and I go to NYC every December, and leave out in Loudoun. But now, we're about 1 mile from a metro, and we were able to take the Silver Line to Union Station to take a train up to Manhattan. It was great.

It’s a valid point. But considering debt is for the birds / future generations…it’s a big success for our immediate travel convenience.

In case anyone still didn't know.

Article is typical npr trash

The trail is probably closest at Reston Town Center. but the ease of access might be better at Wiehle.

Actually, East Falls Church might be the closest metro to W&OD.
