[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was shopping today in Bethesda. So nice to be Mask Optional and even store personnel ditching them. I’m going to be spending my dollars on VA and MD until this is lifted in DC- not that I actually still wear a mask in DC anymore [/quote]

How does a parent who lives in DC have the freaking time to run errands in both Maryland and VA? Usually DC families who live a little closer to either might have big box store habits in the nearer suburb, but usually the other one is completely beyond the pale. I'm in NW DC and don't think I've been in Virginia is over a year! Similarly, Capitol Hill moms, how long has it been since Maryland actually offered you something worth hauling out there for?

I feel like this conversation was likely hijacked by people who are not DC stakeholders.[/quote]

I live in NW DC as well and my kids go to school here. [b]Don't you ever shop Bethesda Row area?[/b] I'm going to make a point of finding a grocery store in Chevy Chase/ Bethesda, as well, until the DC mask mandate is ended.[/quote]

Only a few times a year. It would be a half hour drive for me (I live centrally in NWDC) and that means it would have to offer me something I can't get any closer. Unless you're positively dripping with free time, I can't see how that's a rational choice. There are 4 grocery stores within 5 blocks of my home, so again, it doesn't make any sense to add on to a hectic day for a completely irrational aversion to masks. I own so little of my time as it is.

You may live closer to Maryland, it also follows that Virginia becomes even less convenient for you than it is for me. No way you're going there too for the same stuff you can get in your own neighborhood.[/quote]
