Wait whaaaaaat?! (I'm new here)

Yes it is. All establishments in Virginia have to sell a certain percentage of their total sales in food if they want to have a liquor license. You can't just sell alcohol. There are also extreme limitations over happy hour specials and even advertising them. Until just a few years ago, you couldn't put a sign outside telling what happy hour specials an establishment had.

They don’t yell at you and I feel pretty supported there! It’s a good workout though.

what do you mean VA doesnt have actual bars? thats just not even true

One thing to note: you must be present (in the same room as the printer) for the duration of the print.

I mention this because it was quite a limiting factor since prints can take awhile and logistics around appointments are challenging (e.g., Saturdays fill up quickly, so you're left with T/Th during typical work hours). There isn't a very good way to take calls or meetings, which I learned the hard way.

To schedule an appointment, they create a unique link for you once you've completed the training.

reformation fitness’s pilates classes sound like a good fit! i’ve done the shaw location a couple of times and they’re small (cap out at 6 ppl) and are overall much less intense than eg solidcore (much quieter music, slower paced, a bit more instruction).

DC is not remotely close to NYC in any respect

We do Happy Hour(s) really well. There are some places that this sort of discount alchohol is not permitted. How sad.

And now we can take the metro to Dulles! I still prefer DCA.

I guess I was looking more for the timeline between submitting application and receiving NOE. I was told 6-12 weeks and was hoping to be closer to 6 than 12

Dr Burgess at center for dermatology and dermatological surgery is an incredibly smart and incredibly thorough clinician. She is on M st nw. I’m not sure if she takes insurance.

I can post whatever the hell I want

Sort of like the NATINALS uniforms. I was just surprised the Nats didn't have backup uniforms with the correct spelling.

You cannot help comparing though because they are two very different cities. NYC is a one of a kind city, full of lives and characters and humanity and rats and trash bags and dirty air and bumpy smelly roads and arts and styles and lights and concrete.

I visited NYC a few days ago and I still found the city so damn exciting even though I had been there so many times before. Then I came back to DC and I realized how nice DC is in every way, and that most of the time, all I really want is ‘nice’ 🥹

Solidcore is definitely not “non-intense”!

The original MLK Library design is by Mies van der Rohe, so it's a great visit if you're into architecture. They did an excellent job on the redesign, updating it while keeping a Modernist look. I love the main stairwell.

Sticky Fingers is such a ripoff now. It cost me $68 for two cups a coffee, a pastry, and pancakes when I include the service charge and tip. I’ll never go back!

It's so great, they do an amazing job. My daughter loves the kids area. One of the saddest things about putting her in daycare is that she can't go to their storytime anymore!

Can confirm for MD residents. I got a DC library card recently free of charge.

On the subject of city services, I absolutely love the Ft Totten Transfer Station. I never thought going to a dump would make my day, but every time it's been a great experience. Employees are friendly, helpful, and I get junk out of my house. Went to Benning Road, since Ft Totten was/is closed, and it was also a good experience

If Massachusett was meant to have an S at the end, then NoMa would be NoMas

It’s me, yes! Thank you for your support:)

The public recs and public pools are fantastic, at least my neck of the woods.

My friend from Boston said the same thing about the trees here! Didn’t even think of it, but probably since I moved from Sacramento, which also has a lot of trees lol.
