If the only descriptor you have is their race, then it probably is racist (as well as useless).

I’ve been doing this for monthly trips EOTR to and from Central America on direct flights out of Dulles. Total game changer. I used to drive & park at Dulles or BWI. It saves me a lot of time & $$.

Yep. If the BID cash is paying for it, the richer neighborhoods get police and the poorer ones don’t. Crime gets worse EOTR and in traditionally underserved areas. History repeats itself.

Pro tip: wait for someone to show up before you argue with them. It looks less crazy that way.
Fun facts: crime was down last year, it's up this year. This year is 3 months long. A small sample still.

I agree that the exhibits themselves are underwhelming, but the museum is relevant to the groups trips. I was hoping that getting a guide would improve the experience in the museum itself.

A foolish notion that's been thoroughly debunked.

I recently drove to Dulles during rush hour and watching Silver Line trains go by as I sat in crawling traffic was enough to convince me to never drive there again.

The sports book there and downtown are such a fucking blight. It’s bad enough that sports gambling has made sports unwatchable at times but now it’s ruining neighborhoods in real time. Such a bummer.

I had someone do this at Thomas Circle last year. He asked for money, I told him no, and he followed me for about a block and kept talking, “just because I do heroin doesn’t mean I don’t deserve kindness” and his comments escalated until he was calling me a white btch. We reached a corner and when he caught up to me as I waited for the crossing signal, I turned on my heel and walked in the opposite direction. He didn’t follow. No harm ultimately, but it was one of the more intimidating experiences I’ve had with a homeless person.

Are those skylights or LEDs on the ceiling that change color?

I'll be honest man I was really disappointed in that museum. There was some cool artifacts to look at but besides that it was literally just printed paper slap to the wall everywhere a ton of reading without many visuals I was not impressed.
Their cafeteria is kick-ass.

Reply to comment by crossedtherubicon20 in Are masks being mandated in healthcare facilities in DC? by ClearSkinJourney
It’s not mandated by governments most places but is an office rule instead. Many doctors lived through seeing what Covid can do to people up close and personal. They also work with high risk folks all the time and are constantly seeing people who are sick.
Many offices I went to pre Covid asked people to wear a mask if they had flu like symptoms. This feels like an evolution of that and also one that makes sense. Keeps you and your patients safe.
