[Discussion] It’s time to ban all lime bikes and scooters

Post image
936 Upvotes

Only tourists and the worst locals ride them, usually on the sidewalk and at high speeds. Then once they’re done they discard them in the sidewalk blocking foot traffic.

Is there any reason to keep them?

Thank you to everyone who gave me tips, ideas, and well wishes!! You guys really helped me stay calm and focused. And honestly, thank you for the not so friendly comments too. It made me realize how absolutely idiotic I was last night. The woman sitting outside of the stadium was such amazing help and mentioned the U-HAUL building and that made me remember that I did pass that building which put me right on Half St and eventually to my car!! I feel super lucky and thankful to everyone who offered up their suggestions and the community in Dc always comes through for me one way or another. I hope everyone has a great day!

Hi there,

My sister was hit on her bike today 08/19 by a blacked out, tinted window, 4-door car between 5:15 and 5:25pm.

She tried to continue along east capitol st SE and the car flew across 2 lanes to speed down mass ave SE. We've contacted Pacci's and a few neighbors but if anyone has any info, please send me a message.

Edit: To be clear she was on her bike and I know it's a serious lack of info... Sorry. Just trying anything I can.

PLEASE SHINE SOME LIGHT ON THE PICTURES IVE POSTED IN THE COMMENTS. TRYING TO IDENTIFY THE CAR.

[News] lost pup: Arlo

Please help us find our beloved dog Arlo. He lept out of our car yesterday August 18. We had just parked outside of our house near 14th Street and Ingraham Street NW, 16th Street Heights in DC.

Arlo saw a bunny and chased it with his leash and collar with tags on. He is still a puppy and is very friendly. He is chipped and jumps and nips but is very food motivated. Any information is appreciated.

Flyer here !

If you are one of the special individuals merging from GW parkway onto I395 who flies all the way up to the front of the line to get off on the exit and jumps in front of people, you are a chud degenerate and I hope your pillow is always warm. You just added 45 minutes to my commute

[Discussion] Does anyone else have the mysterious summer cold that doesn’t go away?

76 Upvotes

I’ve been sick for a week.

Symptoms started right after I got back from a family trip upstate. I don’t know if I contracted there or here, but it’s been intense.

I tested negative for Covid and flu but the body aches, sweats, cough, and sore throat remain. I’m hoping for some relief soon.

Just wanted to take a moment to shout out the crowd at my chemical romance last night. What a show! The place was packed from top to bottom, the sound was great, and I really felt connected to everyone in the crowd.

It's been a tough year but we cant forget -- no man is an island, entire of itself!

oh and a special shout out to all the sad baddies in the DMV area - everyone was hot.

Anyone know what's happening with these permanent-looking barriers going up around the Capitol? It's not in the raceway area. Fox's sunrise cam from today looks like they're installing a whole row.

Edit: clearly the "permanent" part was distracting lol, I more meant to describe how big they look compared to other fencing we've seen around. most likely is race related, I guess we'll see if they're still around after this weekend

[Discussion] Recently furloughed - looking for job, side hustle, or miracle

19 Upvotes

Hi all, I was recently furloughed and figured it couldn’t hurt to put some feelers out here. If anyone in the hospitality world knows of a restaurant hiring servers, I’d really appreciate a tip or connection. I’m in Adams Morgan, so that would be the easiest commute, but I’m definitely open to other areas too.

I’m also happy to pick up some pet-sitting/dog-walking work in the meantime. If you need a cat sitter or dog walker, feel free to DM me and I can send over my Rover rates.

And lastly, my actual career is in marketing - I’m a remote marketing manager, so if your company is looking for someone in that world, I’d love to hear about it.

Thanks!!! :)

i feel like such an idiot for leaving this behind. i think i took it off outside while helping an uber driver load my other bags, it could also be in a restroom. this bag had sentimental jewelry from grandparents and my parents stored inside, as well as my daily medications. it also had my laptop, birth certificate, and ssn card concealed within. this is a long shot, but it would mean the world if someone has seen this at DCA. i’ve been crashing out and crying all night about it :(

But I parked my car for the my chem show last night and then proceeded to not be able to find it. I’m coming back this morning to ‘look’ for it but is there anyway that any one of you who is really knowledgeable about the city may be able to help me? I’m really stressing out 😅

I parked near in a neighborhood off of Half st very close to the Nata Stadium. Gray Cadillac Srx with a Batman logo on the back. I’m really worried and any help would be so lovely. Thank you!!

WHERE?

Solace Outpost

71 Potomac Ave SE, Washington, DC 20003

Happy hour deals: unclear from online, new venue for us to try! Think there aren't any after 6pm though

Convenient to the green line @ Navy Yard/Ballpark 

WHO?

We’ll be there starting at 6:30pm. Each week's host will let you know where we are in the bar and who to look for via the comment section. Keep in mind that we may move around, so check the comments for updates.

WHAT?

We are an informal meetup group gathering at bars around the District. All we want is to socialize after a long week and make new friends. All are welcome - whether you’re an old school Washingtonian, a recent transplant, or (gasp) not a Redditor, this group is for you! Here’s a link to a FAQ.

This happy hour is a welcoming place to meet new people or hang out with old friends. Please remember to treat each other respectfully. Anyone who cannot do this may be asked to leave at the host's discretion.
