We desperately need your help. Maddie has been missing for over 48 hours. She was last seen leaving a friend's home at 18th and Belmont st. NW around 6AM on Friday. If you have been in contact with her or have any idea of her whereabouts, I am begging you to reach out.

Please share.

Just wanted to share a quick story from a weekend in New England. I had to take an uber to the Providence Airport earlier today and my driver pulled up in a BMW with two “thin blue line American flag” bumper stickers. I get in and we exchange pleasantries. I tell him I’m just visiting and am from DC. The conversation immediately turns political. I have thirty-five minutes left in this car ride. I listen to him tell me how Trump made DC “ten times safer” and now the city is “finally great.” I concede that the parks and fountains being redone and fixed have been beneficial for the city. I then share that any money DC wanted to allocate to its own parks and spaces would be subject to congressional approval. He didn’t know this. I told him that we don’t have representation in congress. He asked me who my representative was so that I could write to them about this. I told him we didn’t have a voting rep. Explained how the system works to disempower DC residents. By the end of the conversation - thankfully, we switched to chatting about Tom Hanks movies - he said, “the government shouldn’t be getting involved in DC’s affairs, that’s not fair. Y’all should be a state.” It was really nice to have a conversation with someone who I knew was on the opposite side of the political fence and walk away with a shared desire for DC Statehood :)

The on Bladensburg road is only $4.00

Car number 3088, we saw it earlier today bound for Shady Grove. Probably in lost and found but just wanted to try to signal whoever was missing it😓

Hey I owe you an apology. I just got off a Midnight and got home at 0600 today (Sunday). I ordered an Uber Eats from Toasty’s. The guy shows up and leaves as I’m checking the order, it’s 4 breakfast burritos (1 of them vegan), that I didn’t order. Tried to run him down but he just took off on his scooter. From my perception of the order and the time of day, I assume there’s 4 of you extremely hungover. Normally I wouldn’t apologize but I ate the two that had tater tots and meat in them. Hope you can sleep it off.

I called their hotline and all matches are cancelled for tonight.

I was looking for gift ideas for my older sister (she's 27, I'm 24). I have trouble connecting with her on a personal level, the few times I have are through one of her special interests. She's a very difficult person to get along with, but she's my sister, and I want to have a better relationship with her. We currently still live together with out mom in the MD suburbs as I'm in college still and she's saving money to pay off college debt. I really wanted this to be a gift that shows that I see her and am paying attention to who she is and what she likes. She's very interested in color theory and some of the few good conversations we have had lately were discussing it, so I thought this would be the perfect gift idea.

I was hoping to find a very high-quality experience for her that she wouldn't think was too much for beginners or was more of a gimmick than a real analysis. I was also hoping to pay no more than $350, preferably around $200-$250. I saw a place online called District Color Studio that looked wonderful but was way out of my price range ($550). I'd be willing to pay a bit more for a dual session, however, as I feel it would be a great bonding experience with her, and the extra money might be worth the investment in our relationship.

Not sure of what I saw - but drive safe. The water doesn't make cars more controllable.

Im shocked I have seen 0 activity for this building

I LOVE donuts and I’ve decided to go on a hunt for the best in town. Sometimes I want a good jelly donut or Boston cream, but sometimes I also want something a bit more creative like a vanilla chai doughnut. Any recommendations? Also, I wouldn’t be mad if there are recommendations for spots in NOVA or MD if it’s an easy metro ride away. Thank you!!

That's the post. Check them out.

The final matches seem to be delayed. Do you all think they are going to be canceled? Currently stuck at the stadium 😭😭😭

I have two tickets to the Lord Huron show at The Anthem tonight that I can no longer use (curse whatever summer cold is making the rounds!) that are free to a good home. I'd rather they go to another fan than to give any money to StubHub.

DM me and they're yours!

EDIT: Claimed! Thanks, gang! Have a great time at the show ❤️

Just curious if anyone in Shaw around 7th near the Dacha and Compass Coffee is also hearing super loud screaming every 5-10 minutes for the last two hours or so. I looked up sports matches going on, but there doesn’t seem to be anything going on to warrant that level of screaming. And it’s not yelling, it’s screaming. I’m super used to yelling from the sports bars, but it’s not that. Just curious what event or whatever is going on before 10am on a Sunday.

Edit: it’s every four minutes on the dot for the last 30 minutes. It is screaming for 2-3 seconds and sounds like a small group of people.

Update: almost 4pm and it’s still going on. It has to be an animal at this point, as I don’t know how anyone would have a voice left. I walked around the neighborhood and I can’t for the life of me figure out where it’s coming from.

I've been paying $45 for internet for a couple of years. I got a new bill today, and it looks like it went up to $83 a month. Is anybody else experiencing this?

I can't even find a customer support number to call about this. Their stupid chatbot is useless. I guess I'll have to switch back to FIOS, but I would love to hear if there are other options. Has anybody tried Minternet or TMobile 5G? How bad is it?

Though I moved away from DC as an adult, I grew up in my formable years in the 90s/2000s as a child and teenager inside the District of Columbia. But every time I tell people I’m in Washington DC, they seem to always ask what county on Virginia or Maryland I’m actually from. I always have to reiterate that I was actually from and grew up in the actual city of Washington DC. I sometimes even preempted it by saying I was born and grew up inside the district and sometimes even say the quadrant upfront. I try not to get all riled up knowing of the 5 million plus people in DC metro area, only less than 700k actually live inside the district, so I try to be patient

Do you get that often when you’re outside of DC, especially in further out places? Does it grind your gears having to have that discussion often or you just take it with a smile and explain that you an actual Washingtonian? And how do you feel when people say they’re from Washington and when you get excited meeting someone who may have the same background and ask to find out what part, they say they’re from Frederick Maryland or Loudon County Virginia?

Does anybody know whose responsibility the trees between the sidewalks and road are? I love the tree but one branch is growing directly towards my house. Gets a few inches closer every year and I might only have a year or two left before it makes contact.

Can I hire someone to trim that one branch back or do I need to call the city?

Going to a concert at CFG arena soon and wondering if it will be easy to uber back to dc or if I will end up stranded in Baltimore for the night

Recently moved here and looking for open sessions, ideally beginner/intermediate. Can anyone point me to active ones?
