[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Between the bus bump outs and the bikes lanes, Columbia Rd in AM has been destroyed for cars.  It is absolutely awful, but I suppose that was their intention.  It seems less safe for bikes now.[/quote]

Seems sad what DDOT did there. All it does is permanently reduce the number of people who will go there. [/quote]

The economy is absolutely booming, and pretty much every neighborhood in DC is a pale shadow of what it was 10 years ago. So many empty storefronts, so few people on the streets. It's sad.  The city used to seem so much more vibrant.  [/quote]
Congratulations on both dating yourself and saying something totally dumb and untrue. [/quote]

Exactly the opposite. Several neighborhoods are a lot worse than 10-20 years ago. You just would not know because you haven’t been here long enough.

Cleveland Park on both Connecticut and Wisconsin are a shadow of what they once were. Friendship Heights used to be the Rodeo Drive of the city. Just to name a couple neighborhoods.

But you wouldn’t know because you were in middle school in some midwestern suburb then. [/quote]

How is Cleveland Park a shadow on Wisconsin…there’s 10x more stuff happening there than 10 years ago with City Ridge and the Giant redevelopment.

CP on CT isn’t much changed other than normal business churn.

FH was killed by the Internet and Covid…but the new Mazza building and Trader Joe’s should help with reviving.  It was never the Rodeo Drive of DC, just tried to be that on the MD side and then City Center (which is also doing well) stole its mojo.[/quote]
I think I understand the problem here. You’re unintelligent. [/quote]
