Honestly WeWork's biggest mistake was not marketing themselves as a really expensive coffee shop that didn't care if you sat with your computer all day. Stay here long enough and we'll give you a little closet to keep your shit in... (i.e. an office...)

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....)

Some people on this sub are delusional or have bad intentions to make crime seem out of control. Reality is DC is still a very safe large city

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.

And it cost taxpayers $250M to build the shitty app. The shitty app was built by a councilman’s brother I believe. Pure corruption.

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...

If you're going out that far, might as well go to Mark's Duck House and pay half the price. It's a dim sum place but you can order entrees too. They have Peking duck too and it's probably one of the better options in the area and not at astronomical pricing like Peking Inn

Popville's user base is dominated by hapless urban newbies, who are unable to figure out even the most basic aspects of city life (or call 311) without turning to the internet to plead for help. So the content is tailored to that.

It sucks and actually lost $4M in 2022 when expecting $92M.

Hunan Dynasty in the Capitol Hill area is pretty close to what you’re looking for.

Reply to The DC music scene has been remarkably innovative and influential. I'm putting together a playlist that captures some of the early trailblazers and contemporary artists continuing to push boundaries. Who else should be included? by ATroopOfDans
Idk what your definition of trail blazer or pushing boundaries is but what about fugazi, girls against boys, or dismemberment plan?

You'd think tax revenue. Only in DC is gaming a $4M loss in 2022 when they were projection $92M in profits.

Hold the phone.... Are you suggesting that veteran WaPo local news reporter Marty Weil does not deserve a Pulitzer or two for his coverage of local crimes?

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

City Lights of China isn’t exactly what you’re describing but was considered the best take-out Chinese in DC for awhile through the 90s
