Union market, navy yard, buzzard point and the wharf will all be nearly unrecognizable to you likely. (Though I doubt you went there before. You will go there now.) the Anthem will be the best place to catch bigish acts. It's a great venue that DC sorely needed.

More bike lanes. Bus lanes. Soon to be bike lanes in Connecticut Ave.

The dome on the Jefferson is white again lol.

Generally speaking, a lot of empty lots are now buildings. And some of your favorite businesses might be something new.

NW got a Wegmans which is cool I guess.

There's an Eisenhower memorial that you'll barely notice, and a WWI memorial that's almost just as forgettable.

Oh and anywhere near the white house, congress, or supreme court will have more fencing/security than you remember.

Edit: oh and silver line to dulles. Plus purple line is coming (2030 probably....)

OP is an account with 1 post (this one) and 3 comments, all with snarky trolling about crime in DC. Ive been seeing a lot of these crappy accounts with #### posting recently about crime. Strange. Almost as if there is a concerted and probably paid effort to continue this narrative, like Ive been saying, and people have called me tin foil and a joke. You wont learn till they take home rule. Just watch. Step one, make dc seem like a failed place.

Another four number bro just talking crime over here a couple days ago.

There's a coffee shop near me that is always fully occupied by people on laptops taking up multi-person tables for themselves. If I'm meeting someone, I go early and wait for a table to open up, and then when my friend comes and we start talking, at least one person around us slams their laptop down and leaves.

I want to start handing out library cards...

Without trying to diminish people’s fear( because yes,crime does exist), social media portrays it in a vacuum. Our minds just go down a rabbit hole. I’ve talked to a few friends who suffer more from anxiety. I swear it’s social media. It serves its purpose to inform but also creates a type of hypnotism - ( I see you FB algorithms).

This!!! I lived in Recife, Brazil for many years and crime there is pretty high. Basically you had to make the choice of either hyperventilating into a paper bag about it or just going outside and living. It didn’t help that there were loads of sensationalist TV shows about crime and whatnot
