at this point i can't decide if i should put on the summer wheels or not

DC cherry blossoms are already starting to bloom. Not good.

I completely agree that the likelihood of getting carjacked is extremely small. I am in no way suggesting that you are in danger. However one trick that I do in neighborhoods that I'm worried about, is when I pull up to a light I keep ample space between me and the car in front of me, If I needed to suddenly pull out and go around the car in front of me I'd be able to do it.

And, very sincerely, you are quite safe.

When I was young I remember someone saying if you don’t like the weather in Maryland, wait five minutes or drive five miles. So far that’s been pretty true. 🤣

The odds you get car jacked by soundstage of all places, especially at 11pm when there will be a ton of people still around is 0.000000001% you’ll be fine

The earth is dying lmao

It does not get crowded and there’s zero hassle. Worth a visit.

Makes sense, thank you! Excited to scope it out :)

I’ve been once during a less nice Friday evening (colder, rainy day) and it was sparsely attended. I’m sure it could get busy on some Fridays but I suspect the reason the time period is half off is because it wasn’t busy.

I was looking at this this morning too, and then looked up high temps for feb 23rd. It seems like hitting the mid 70s Feb 20-23rd happens an awful lot.

I also dont think that snow forecast for Saturday will last past Monday.

I bought a sled two years ago and have used it once.

Shits crazy. I miss having blizzards. Maybe we'll have a cooler summer?

I did Mt. Vernon to the hospital via Monument protected bike lane for a year with no problem, but I never headed out as early as the OP. I did come back sometimes after dark, but usually no later than 8 or 9pm and the biggest issue I had was hitting large debris before I got a stronger headlight.

Not necessarily for everyone, but it is doable!

I hope someone sees this. So 83 is swept weekly but 295 is not. So it is a different branch that would oversee 295? Cause there are striking differences for sure in conditions.

And say an exit like key highway….who oversees that? SHA?

Still I see no other non church publicly funded effort to support orphanages, hospitals, food banks immigration support centers, health clinics.

I’m reminded of the time when Martin O’Malley was Mayor traveling down Harford Rd and he saw someone with his arm extended flapping his hand waiting for a hack. O’Malley had his driver pull over and opened the window to confront the person thinking he was a drug dealer. This incident revealed that he wasn’t as street smart as he portrayed himself to be.

Park at harbor park garage. You’ll be fine.

Soundstage is like 5 minutes from the highway, you’ll be fine.

There’s a garage next to soundstage. It’ll take a little bit to get out if you leave right when the concert ends but you’ll literally be right there.

Yeah it is pretty complicated. Some of the bigger cities have lots of canvassers that deploy one night in sections of the city. We had a few volunteers and conducted the count over a few days, but would use the official count date as our point of reference. So the question would be "where are you staying tomorrow night?" or "where did you stay thursday night?" depending on the day.

Lots of cities know where the larger encampments are, though part of what determines a states funding is seeing the numbers go down from year to year. Because of this, lots of shady things take place. In Portland 2 years ago the police swept the local camp sites forcing people to move like 3 days before the count, making it exponentially harder to find and count those people.

Good to know

You have a substantially better chance of getting into a car accident on the way to/from Baltimore than being carjacked. You basically have to win the crime lottery because it’s very rare. I wouldn’t worry about it in the least.
