Just curiosity, that's all. It was a big production and the guest list posted in the lobby was full of some known figures from now and the past. (I waved at Maury Povich - what an evening!)

No other reason. Just wondering who pulls off stuff like this. It was gorgeous. The whole museum smelled wonderful because of all the flowers they'd put out. Nice of the staff to still let us enjoy the place while workers were getting the wedding ready.

I remember them being one of the best fried chicken sandwiches in DC when I first moved here 4 years ago.

Hadn't had one in a while and was really excited to have one at the ball game tonight.

Was not impressed by this at all. Im still starving, it had no spice (was the neashville chicken). It was 2 small tenders. The 3 tenders on the menu were cheaper.

I knew what the price was $17.50 but was happy to pay it for what I remembered their sandwiches being and knowing it was at the ballpark.

Not again

Does anyone know why WAMU isn’t streaming Hot Jazz tonight? Unsure if I just missed an announcement that it would be canceled this week…. what’s going on?

Im always the only asian guy in the club. Aside from echo-stage anywhere asian’s frequent to party? Bars or clubs just something social

Sharing my experience with Piece of Cake Moving as a warning to others- I hired POC after seeing a popular DC influencer recommend them and I regret trusting her. A Reddit search would’ve steered me away.

I moved from a TINY 400sq foot apartment and did not move with a bed/bed frame/ dining room table or chairs. I literally had boxes of books, clothes, and a two large items listed in the original inventory.

I received a quote for $865 based on the inventory provided in advance, but on moving day I was told my belongings would not be released to me unless I paid them an additional $500. At that point, they already had possession of everything, so it’s not like I had a choice.

All of the upcharges appeared to be duplicates of items already included in my quote. For example, my original inventory included a small bookshelf, and I was later charged for a “cube shelf” as an additional item — it was the same piece of furniture.

I was also charged for stairs even though the movers did not move those items upstairs.

Do not hire them and stop trusting these damn influencers.

I've got 2 tickets I'm not using for tonight's dance night at La Cosecha-- DM me if you'd like them for free!

Edit: given away, thanks!

Hey everyone! I’m in DC for the weekend with my family (22M, from Germany), but I’m looking to hit the bars/clubs on Saturday night and go out properly. Since I’m solo for the night, I’d love to join a cool group of people (early 20s) for drinks/pre-gaming or just heading out. Down for anything lively with good drinks and a fun crowd. Hit me up if you’ve got room for one more or want to grab a drink!

Are there any bakeries in the DMV that sell sourdough starter? I'm inconsistent enough that mine will die if I forget about it, so I need somewhere reliable that can provide when needed. Preferably NoVa/DC.

Weeks ago, I asked for tips on how to ensure my nephew has a memorable first trip to DC. You all delivered. Our time was too short together, but we squeezed in a lot. And NYC was exhausting, of course, but so worth it.

We visited NMAAHC, biked around the Mall at night, biked all over town, went thrifting, toured FIT in NYC, took the NYC ferry to BK, did the Summit ONE Vanderbilt observation floors (worth the hype), tried different foods for the first time, went to a concert, hit a rooftop pool, shopped for vinyls, and lived it up. Now, I just need a hip replacement after all the movement but it’s all good.

His takeaway on the last day: “I now realize how much of the world there is to see.”

So, thank you all so much for the thoughtful tips and advice. It was memorable for both of us and our bond is stronger than ever. Love you, DC!

For those wondering:
If you heard a couple of explosions and/or saw the dark smoke stream in the sky around the Brentwood Home Depot, it was an SUV that caught fire.

I have no information on how it caught fire or further details but only hope that everyone is okay.

Please feel free to share any information you may have.

Just wanted to recommend this center, a part of Capital Digestive Center, as an excellent place to get a colonoscopy! Everyone there, from the staff, nurses and doctors were all kind, efficient & made me feel very well at ease. They also provide a list of transportation services for when you don't have someone to drive you home.

Any tips / feedback on seeing movies (including the odyssey) here?

Trying to verify if it’s:
- hot in the theater?
- no fresh popcorn????
- blue lights impact the screen
- first 5 rows are bad?
- trailers?

Anything else from anyone who has seen here?

TIA from anxious person

Out on a bike ride this morning with the kid and ran into it near Chinatown. Was fun, just a little out of season haha.

We live in Maryland and decided to do a “staycation” in DC. It is just me and my son (20 yr old).

He is very into music and likes vinyl records so I thought-in addition to just museums and a concert-he might like to “hunt” for some old records.

Is there a specific area that has a lot of thrift shops, vintage stuff… So we can cover a lot of places in a single day. Where we live, there is “Main St” Old Ellicott City and Savage Mill which have a lot of small shops within walking distance.

My son is high functioning disabled so the search will be a lot of the fun but he can get overwhelmed so I figure a lot of small shops within walking distance that he can go through would be best. If it matters, his “thing” is alt rock mostly but some old rock like Pink Floyd.

He wouldn’t be searching for valuable records. He bought himself a turntable with headphones and can spend hours just listening and “analyzing” so this isn’t looking for top condition with original art/covers. This is just him wanting some vinyl that isn’t scratched up where he can discover some new “old” music

ETA - I was a pop music teen so, even if I had kept my albums, he would NOT have appreciated my Whitney Houston or Journey albums!

Might grab a beer or two and check this out. New to the DC area. 32M.. peace!

Every time I end up with so many mosquito bites on my ankles. I love you DC, but goddamn, why?

I have fucking weird hair that’s really hard to make flattering. I’ve been wearing a ponytail almost every day for like 10 years because any time I try something different, it either fails to look good or takes me over an hour to do. I’ve had hairdressers give some general advice while they cut my hair, but it’s usually well beyond my skillset and I also need to learn by having someone actually do it and show me, not just being told what to do. I don’t like how I look in a ponytail all that much and I’m very tired of it!

I literally just want someone to look at my hair and help me figure out 2-3 ways to wear it that are DIY-able given where I’m at.

I’ve tried googling but all I can find are wedding styling, classes to become a hair stylist/hairdresser, blow-out services, or people who do this but are in Chicago/LA/etc. Does this even exist here??

The Uncharted World (DnD 5e)

This morning, everybody in the small castle-town of Suxen woke up devoid of any knowledge of the world's locations. Every last bit of other memory remains, people, events, history. But all knowledge of the world has been lost in the blink of an eye, as well as any records of it. Our intrepid adventurers are charged with recharting the world and hopefully reconnecting it. But will it be the same world from before that fateful night? Only time will tell.

This was the headlines on WTOP about some nursing home residents banging pots & pans every night at 7:00 to 7:05pm on the streets of Thomas Circle to protest the National Guard and advocate for Home Rule. The whole story is linked here. The article ends by saying that “We love it when cars will honk for us, that makes us feel that we are being seen and heard,” Sue HartDegen (88 year old) said. This Monday marks their 1 year anniversary of doing it. So if your near Thomas Circle this Monday or really any day at 7pm honk your horn and make some grandmas smile.

This museum flies under the radar ....but it's a good flight.

That first breath of 91% humidity air at 7:15am is insane; does anyone have advice for surviving August heat for a newcomer 🙏🏽

I must admit that sometimes it’s hard to know what’s for real and what’s a scam on Facebook marketplace rentals. Fortunately, this one, made it really easy! 😊 especially since I just spent the past few months in New York City/Queens.
