Really it depends on the crowd. When we went to BTSM or Shaq it was overcrowded but the crowd had some really good vibes, and everyone was there for that, so we were happy and had a lot of fun. When we went to Meduza it was overcrowded but everyone was acting like they were out at a nightclub instead of a show, so it kind of sucked.

When the donestic abuser is similarly let off with no punishment would that get you motivated on this issue?

Upside down flags is only meant to be done "as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."

So its probably a mistake or kids are playing a joke.

Capital Bikeshare- DC did it early and did it well*.

The cupcake ramble meets at Bicyclespace on Saturdays, and they ride to bakeries and other places for treats.

So when you get your stamp, you just going to stamp everything? Napkins, receipts, donuts, tortillas, various pets?

this is awesome! I've thought of doing smething similar. might be interesting to do a section for museums and/or bar cateogires (dancing/fun drinks) but maybe thats later feature idea!

great work!

There’s no Chinatown. It’s just a strip with one archway, string of restaurants and sprinkle of shops. All complimented with businesses that are adorned with Chinese characters of the business name. Supporting reference here since I’m tying on my mobile. The area is pretty much run down with most of the restaurants and retailers either relocated or shut down because of the pandemic. Another factor is the ridiculously high leases the developers and landlords ask.

they have incredible production, but they oversell shows so much it’s not that fun unless you can afford VIP imo. it’s just sooo crowded

Half life plays a role in medications we take too, for example, my mom takes Lisinopril (A.C.E. inhibitor to lower blood pressure) I took one by mistake one time, doc said not only does it get along with the few meds I take, it's half life is only 12.5hrs. Medications are are at their peak efficiency when most of their ingrediencies are working together to give yo the pest Their half life is considered when the ingrediencies are only working half potential. So bottom line if a medication has 6hr half life, it should affect you for appx 6 hrs, and take aapx 12 h for it to be out of your system.;

So "gen Z" is flocking to the city with the most colleges per sq mile in the US. That's a dumb metric, but likely true.

Restaurants have a smaller margin than convenience stores, and are more than happy to send employees home if service is slow - grocers, not so much based on how labor is spread out due to products arriving ~ you can’t be guaranteed 30+ hrs a week in a restaurant, but you can be at Trader Joe’s.

And they do have an incentive: with I•82 on the horizon there isn’t a smart restaurant that doesn’t want to get ahead of the curve now vs five years down the road.

Service fees for DC are mostly pandemic related; however, California/ Wash St/ Nevada.. have been utilizing this practice for quite a while, thus I don’t see too many DC establishments getting rid of it - especially if this is how they are making their ends meet.

Ultimately, yes, DC voters put this into motion, because they didn’t understand the tip-credit.

Did DC libraries make a decision a few years ago to “have fun” with the architecture of their libraries? Love them. They are inviting unique designs.

I love OT! There are a ton of accommodations to make works out less intense on the joints and you can really go at your own pace. I’m definitely someone that sits on the floor panting but it’s a great workout. I try not to worry too much about not going hard core because the bottom line is that i’m getting my body moving.

I think it would be nice to gradually expand that date, at least on an experimental basis. Maybe set it at 35 years or something.

Always taking these types of articles with a dubious grain of salt. But it's a big college town with a large military base. Perhaps some higher level of transience not being accounted for in the data bumping it up.

We're not having that issue any longer.

I didn’t know about Georgetown Law but sadly it’s only open to current students or alumni

Explain compensation, please..

Before the pandemic/ I82 a person would work a 7hr shift and could earn between $200-$400 based on the evening & establishment.

As is now, with the service fee being added to compensate for healthcare and higher hourly wages, many people are fortunate to make anything above $114 for their 7hrs (and when you include taxes, that’s about $100.)

I do understand workers going somewhere where they are valued; however, the compensation of working in one place over another was built off of tips because very very few places can afford to pay $30-$50/ hr to their bar & waitstaff.

Yeah but 2nd in the whole country?! In Gen Z net migration? More than NYC, Chicago, LA? Or even places like Denver, PHX, Nashville, Austin?

Cheaper than Charlotte or Charleston. I'd pick Greenville over Columbia though.

Very much agree with this. DC FEELS like an imperial city in ways that even places like London, Rome or Paris fail to do. There’s no “AHHH” moment of arrival.

Describing cyclical moving patterns primarily due to the cost of housing running up against perceived needs for starting as family as "fleeing" is... unique.

Like, I can't say that I've ever seen anyone crossing the 14th Street Bridge with everything they've ever owned strapped to their car and driving like they're trying to outrun some natural disaster. Just normal insane driving.

Well, they might enjoy working in a restaurant more than working at a grocery store, even if the pay was identical. But I think many restaurants will still pay better and hire more professional staff than a convenience store or a minimum wage employer. And I think many patrons will still continue to tip. Keep in mind that there's nothing forcing restaurants to charge a service fee -- that's just something they came up with during the pandemic (which was justified, I know) similarly to how airlines realized they could charge you for carry on bags. Lots of restaurants won't do it (and many who do it now may cave under pressure to get rid of their fees).

Of course ultimately the voters have set the law and we'll just have to see what happens!
