How about you have grandparents buried in DC and know where your family lived before the riots?

He came to our car wash fundraiser when I was in MS. It took some self control not to aim the hose in his direction.

I’ve been here 15 years and intend to grow old here. Regarding the shopping - happy to say that Mazza Gallery will be redeveloped into mixed use, still some retail but mostly housing. And Georgetown doesn’t seem terrible to shop in? There are some good shops and l prefer it to a mall. Downtown is just sad though. I worked by Gallery Place before COVID and there were places to shop at lunch and after work but it’s been decimated.

Also all trips that require the bridge must take place between 10 am and 2:30 pm if on a weekday. Also I won’t go to the canal on any nice weekend day.

Wow
