> isn't rehabilitative nor does it really protect the public
What is the point, then? I don't think it is a deterrent except in rare nonviolent cases, and it shouldn't be a form of revenge. I feel like protecting the public is the real reason jail/prison should exist. Thank you for your comment, I appreciate it.

Biergarden on H during the day often has kids on the outside patio area. The kids tend to clear out by 4 pm ish generally

At some point Id like to see express metro trains to the airport that merely slow down at intermediate metro stops. Say they depart from the easternmost station, stop at Cap South, LEnfant, Metro Center, Federal, Foggy B, et cetera. Just jump a few here and there and it could save another 20 mins easy.
Downtown DC to Dulles in 45 mins is the goal and is doable

Mixing alcohol and kids in a public space doesn't sound like a good idea. It's hard to keep an eye on little kids running around

Oh it's sarcasm how you think kids should be banned from breweries. I agree a downside of the internet is you get shitty opinions stuffed in your face with absolute confidence, from folks who claim sarcasm when your point out their shitty takes. Fuck off now.

They were extremely relevant to the conversation at hand, I asked how much experience you have in anti-trafficking work since you were denigrating my experiences as someone who works in the field. You quickly dismissed my points and told me that I don’t know how to raise awareness for trafficking, so I figured you must have some knowledge about trafficking awareness due to your willingness to criticize how I broach the topic

Fun fact, From the seat of a Silver line train you can see a tidal river and a mountain range.

I would put DC ahead of Chicago. Chicago's coverage is decent, but it's really slow compared to DC.

Well your questions were irrelevant to my point.

Reply to Drivers, Brace For Road Closures This Weekend During D.C. Cherry Blossom Run by BastardoSinGloria
It's so annoying that the local coverage for a race that has 10,000+ participants and is the USATF 10 mile championship is what roads are going to be closed. It's all pretty much on parkland on a weekend!

Thank you for pointing out that the Silver line is not only about accessing Dulles Airport.

No place doing a kiddie happy hour anymore?
Wonderland Ballroom used to; as did the Reef (RIP, now Roofers Union). Johnny Pistolas upstairs. Grand Central, briefly (and, uh, they may not care to do this anymore).
Call a restaurant that you like that has a private room and ask if they would take a booking.
You can do bowling, but the kids are probably too small for that.

Reply to Congressional Committee Grills D.C. Officials on Statehood, Public Safety Issues by PrestoVivace
"In his testimony, Allen also reiterated his stance on combining policing with investments in services that improve District residents’ quality of life."
Yet since then he hasn't added a single penny to DBMH/DOH or any social services agency for mooted alternatives, funded anything that would deploy from OUC calls or set up an alternative to 911 MPD calls. Such a phony.

Reply to ‘A full circle type of moment’: Robert Griffin III could be part of Commanders new ownership group by SolemnLemonMelons
I’m not for the NFL owners stranglehold on the ownership market but I don’t see any differences in extremely wealthy people teaming up to buy a team and getting like a 1% stake in the organization just for clout. It’s not like the elite club goes away.
Some of the best teams in the NFL are owned by storied families like the Rooney Family, or have public interest at stake like the Packers.

Is he an old man? There’s a crazy old guy who has chased me and my partner on several separate occasions between metro center and Mt. Vernon. I’ve also seen him harass people at CVS and Streets Market. A complete menace.

Thanks for your opinion. Have you ever had a conversation with a three year old about what they want to eat/drink/do for fun? They can barely talk. It’s incredibly selfish of you to expect that public places that you decide to visit should be off limits to families with young kids.

>Should kids be allowed at strip clubs too?
Maybe? Figure staff could use on site daycare.
