[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here:  Moved already.  Been here a month.  I went to school in DC (GW), so I'm familiar with the city, the metro (including walking on the left - used to drive me crazy when people didn't), being smart about crime, etc.  But I've been in suburbia for 20+ years and I have kids now (and it [b]looks like I need a DC1 card to enroll them in the school lottery[/b]) and a lot has changed (including technology - wow).  But I did once get a ticket for parking within fill-in-the-blank feet of an intersection.  They filled in 40.  So I guess that hasn't changed.  :)

We're near Fort Totten, BTW.

Thanks for all the tips.  Which Metro app do you recommend?  There are several.[/quote] DC resident with school aged children here.  You do not need a DC1 card to enroll in the lottery.  DC 1 cards are given to school aged children so that they can ride the  metro for free (bus and train) and it also acts a library card. I believe they can also use it to access the rec center pools.   Getting one is the easy party, your child's school will provide one,  registering it is the hard part.  The instructions are not clear cut and there always seems to be some snafu.  I personally do not know any adults who have and use a DC 1 card.[/quote]
