You are welcome to Google, but I first learned about the 18-seat limit for prepared foods shops (which are most coffee shops…) via this Wash Post article from several years ago.

“Their business was categorized as a prepared-foods shop, limiting it to 18 seats, but the space could hold much more.”

Yeah, Chinatown Coffee. That was a great spot, used to hit it almost daily when I lived over there.

Oh thanks! I spend a lot of time (and money lol) at Rare Bird. Will have to check out Cervantes!

Because those aren't buses. The federal rules related to lifespans of rail is different.

What time are you going? Go before 10 am on the weekends or any time on the weekday.

No benzos involved, just wanted to say thanks don’t judge

sounds like a nice dude

mom wandered off high on adderall/valium and wants to reconnect with the guy she went clubbing with lmfaoo

I've had dinner there, will need to check out breakfast sometime!

I live near their new place, Ice n Slice. Really good. Need to check out Heat da Spot sometime.

No problem…Greenbelt station is right off the Beltway by the intersection of the Beltway and Route 50.

I think I can drive to PG county and take the Metrorail:) Thanks for your help!

You can either drive to Greenbelt and take the MARC or Metrorail. If you do that, you might as well take the Metrorail so you can go straight to the National Mall station. If you prefer to take the MARC from Odenton, you might as well take it all the way to Union Station and then either switch to the Metrorail for National Mall or any of the other means available (walk, scooter, Uber, taxi, etc).

so I can take the MARC from Odenton or Greenbelt to the Smithsonian station?

Yes

The Wydown on H allows seating in the building lobby, which is a slept on good option for working and drinking, has a nice living room vibe!

A few recommendations are Open City, Tryst, Pitango, and Coupe – one theme here is that the Tryst family of locations all prioritize a wide array of seating. There does tend to be an inverse relationship between the number of seats and the quality of coffee, but I don't think that's particular to DC. Some hit-or-miss spots seating-wise are the two Emissary locations and TCB, both serve good coffee but are in high demand.

We bought it in Oct 2019. The last purchase that was more expensive by 300K for a similar unit was 7 months ago .

Was there about 5-6 weeks ago, and yes.

I was considering trying this year but the property analysis was late and the window to appeal is so small.

I kind of assumed this would be the case. 😔

There's also the issue that condos are much harder to assess from the exterior of a large building. Regular assessments are conducted both "automatically" and visually.

It's a PITA and it's super hard to win.

I think Columbia Heights is an anomaly of an area when it comes to long term change
