Don’t worry guys the criminal will be caught with plenty of evidence, at which point he will inform prosecutors that his mom was somewhat mean to him growing up, and he will be promptly released with 0 consequences.

Lincoln’s Cottage, the Civil War forts (throughout the city), Anacostia River trail, some of the fancy houses (Decatur, Woodrow Wilson, Lars Anderson, Dumbarton Oaks, the lady with the fancy faberge eggs in Rock Creek), Glen Stone in Maryland, the Kreeger Museum, the Arboretum, and probably more.

ok we’re the same - do you eat meat/fish frequently? It seems to be the difference of $100 or so vs others.

If you know any realtors in the area, ask them. They often keep a list for their own professional use and referrals.

That’s valid. This time last year a lot of people were staying at home due to omicron.
More people out and about now. Plus the rise in juvenile crime and the fact that many students in cities have been testing far below their grade level would lead me to speculate having remote learning in cities weren’t great for teenagers in cities and we’re seeing the impacts of it now.
But I’m just a dumbass on Reddit so what do I know

Do they like casinos? Go to MGM National Harbor for the day and have lunch there. Even if they don’t gamble they have a lounge and piano bar in the lobby of the hotel where it is nice to chill.

Yeah, but...so what? That would be a "yeah, whatever..." moment of life in the big city.

Huh? Read what I wrote. It was a simple response to how they mentioned kias and Hyundai's being targeted

There's rock creek park. Also, DC has loads of venues for plays, concerts, ballet etc etc so maybe they can check out what's going on at the Kennedy Center or Wooly Mammoth?
Or they can walk around near DuPont circle and check out all the embassies. Some of the buildings have very cool architecure. I think the open embassy days are in may but maybe there might be other events going on.
What are your folks into?
For other outdoorsy stuff in particular, if you have a car, there's the arboretum, which has some good walks. For smaller museums, Dumbarton house and the hillwood house museum- these are both manor houses with fancy gardens.

I'd imagine that by the end of the year, nationwide trends will still keep us barely in the top 20. But sure, let's pretend two months is predictive.

Reply to Hockey in and around DC? by pokeredface164
I wonder if the Chesapeake league is still around. I played in it in the 90's. It was the only full contact men's league in the area. Most players were very talented and came from juniors or college teams. We played late nights at Ft. Dupont.

Up zero percent would still make us a far too violent city.

they didn't say that being white made them a gentrifier, they said that they were white AND a gentrifier . basic grammar. Presumptuous still, but very likely correct. Describes me, that's for sure.
