My biggest surprise of moving to DC? How nice the people working at DMV are! And efficient! I went to two locations for different issues: taking driving test, getting my license, registering out of state car etc and everyone was so nice and helpful. And know what they are doing! Unlike NYC DMV …

Yeah, last time I checked Foggy Bottom was still flooding the children's section due to a bad reno job.

Just came back from a great trip in NYC. Each time I return to DC I remark how much I love how many more trees there are here, and just how much greener it is here in general. NY has some amazing parks, but we have trees everywhere.

Libraries can be hit or miss, but that SW one is brand new and really impressive. I lived there with the old library and it was just fine. They did a great job redoing it

Renter's rights in general are pretty good compared to the surrounding jurisdictions.

Moving a lot of the annoying bureaucracy online has been so great. I just paid my auto registration/inspection fee/neighborhood parking pass on line and got my registration card and sticker in the mail in a few days. I remember when you had to spend at least half a day at the DMV to do anything.
I had to go there in person to the DMV a couple of years ago to update my license to a real ID and it wasn't bad at all. Waited less than an hour, all the employees were helpful and cheery. The DMV used to suck so bad.

I like the city's amount of green spaces and parks. I also like that DC has actual bars, unlike VA.

I was surprised by this when I moved from a place I rented for 20 years. Ka-ching!

DCGG is a gaming group in the area, lots of table top players and sometimes there's a Speed DM'ing event that's fun for some more casual play

I only cover the difference between the service fee and 20% tip FWIW (sometimes this is $0).

If this is a daily occurrence, I'd say that's a problem with that McDonald's.

Hopefully that is a joke, but an American flag upside down is to signal distress.

Prevention - recommended a Panasonic electric trimmer. Not a razor. I exfoliate my beard/ chin after every shower with Burt’s bees facial towelettes. Check the area with tweezers.
Hope that helps

Wait you can’t “have your cake and eat it too”? 82 was a turd and now servers are having a “hey…wait I don’t get tips on top of that 20% service fee “🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️moment. Tipping now goes away and I thank each and every owner who has removed the tip line ( examples - 2 Amys, Duck and the Peach) and explain the costs are now “baked in” (and I wouldn’t care if an x% service charge now covers 82 compliance - no need for additional).
To the jackalopes who pushed this - you get what you get 👍 and now that you are making higher $$$ there is no need to tip.
