I mean, it's virtually no different from driving through a state and not stopping for anything but gas or food. Just takes longer and the view is a bit higher up. Either way, you're technically visiting the place but not really "visiting" in any meaningful way.

If looking for steakhouses in Georgetown, is Morton’s no longer around?

After dinner coffee at Au Pied de Cochon.

Or to get really deep, 1789 just outside of Georgetown campus.

But my info is 20 years old.

Homes were a lot cheaper in Central Illinois, but, no one wants to live there (technically the college drives the rental market)

Unfortunately here they can't build houses fast enough to fill demand, not even mentioning the damn rental conglomerates that are buying everything cash and immediately flipping it to a rental. (we were trying to rent and given codes to look at new construction homes, it was insane)

The weather and the environment draw people, as well as any huge industries

It’s because folks are abusing your much needed medication. Sad. Hopefully, this situation gets better for all involved.

Going to help out a lost redditor. Martin's Tavern in Georgetown might not be exactly what you want if you are looking for a midwest-style steakhouse with that deep bourbon smell and massive steaks with baked potatoes and happy chattering people. No, it isn't that, but it is a Georgetown institution with its own history and elegant style - a great place for breakfast and lunch and Ben Bradlee spent a many a night in his favorite booth nursing a late night meal with Bob Woodward.

Ever been through the Hoh’s Hall of Mosses? Ever been through the Hoh’s Hall of Mosses on shrooms? (I have, it was a transformative life experience that I will never forget)

You are not alone and in many places you would be correct. Road rules can vary in small but significant ways from State to State and people naturally just follow what they were taught/told although the rule where they now live is different. In both Oregon and California you would be correct and I would get a ticket. Here is nice breakdown of the issue that Puget Sound Public Safety put out a few years ago:

YELLOW LIGHT: What does a steady yellow light mean in a traffic control signal in Washington? The law (RCW 46.61.055) says that a driver facing a steady yellow light is hereby warned that the green light is being terminated or that the red light will immediately follow which is when traffic shall not enter the intersection. You can enter the intersection when the light is Yellow but you cannot enter the intersection after the light turns red.

Washington, like 37 other states with “permissive yellow” rules, drivers can legally enter an intersection during the entire yellow interval, and a violation occurs if a driver enters the intersection after the onset of red. In the other states that have a “restrictive yellow” rule, drivers can neither enter nor be in the intersection on a red, and a violation occurs if a driver has not cleared the intersection after the onset of red.

How long a yellow light remains steady is depended upon the speed limit of the road. In a yellow light study done in Seattle the average light was 3.5 seconds. The Federal Highway Administration recommends the following yellow light times:

25 MPH - - 3.0 Seconds 30 MPH - - 3.5 Seconds

35 MPH - - 4.0 Seconds 40 MPH - - 4.5 Seconds

45 MPH - - 5.0 Seconds 50 MPH - - 5.5 Seconds

55 MPH - - 6.0 Seconds

I don't see what cameras are going to do to help here. Do you really think the perpetrators destroying a substation are going to waltz up there barefaced or wear clothing that would identify them? Or that they would look for cameras and disable them?

Heck, porch pirates can wear a mask and hoodie and get photographed by a Ring camera located 3 ft away and the cops still have no idea who they are.

Every traffic signal?

I think you’re in the wrong Washington.

If you're talking about Washington D.C. which I believe you are because that's where the Kennedy Center is, then you're on the wrong subreddit.

What town in Washington is abbreviated to DC?

Wow!!!!

I sometimes wonder this too but people are different. I'm originally from Seattle and spent about 38 years there. We left for a lot of reasons but mostly the sky high real estate and the lack of sun. The weather is so heinous and gray most of the year that I became suicidal

I prefer higher heat in general. But, Washington has a lot going for it in terms of nature, educated population, fewer republicans, that sort of thing. I'll never move back but I enjoy visiting my family. I'm always ready to leave though

Um, you're wrong about the spiders. I dealt with a lot of spiders in Washington, huge honking big ones

Sorry that's not how I understand it. As I understand it if you are in the intersection and the light turns red that is ticketable, since you are not clear of the intersection.

An officer once told me yellow means stop if able and being in the intersection is ticketable since you have 3 seconds on the yellow.

Solidarity. I’ve been without my concerta for a month because of the shortage. I’m finally on my pharmacy’s waiting list but I’m supposed to call every three days and yeah… that’s probably not happening.

Those trees and ferns looks awesome! What a great capture

I was taught in drivers ed that when making left hand turns in a busy intersection you’re supposed to pull all the way into the intersection and wait for the yellow/red to stop traffic in the other direction to execute your turn. This wouldn’t be legal if the above law wasn’t valid.

So maybe get really into sledding. Or just watch Netflix like the rest of us.

I was wondering the same thing 😂

Was there yesterday too! Amazing to see the salmon.
