[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually had no idea that drive throughs were illegal in DC.

Always wondered why the Wisconsin and Van Ness McDonalds did not have a drive through.[/quote]

Umm...there are many drive throughs in DC.  Van Ness Burger King on Connecticut - Popeys on Georgia Ave to start with...[/quote]

Yup and the existing ones are grandfathered in - no new ones will be approved and that is a good thing.  Having said that the Van Ness McDonalds has been around for a while and certainly could have gotten approved for a drive through at some point.[/quote]

Why the heck would the city prohibit new drive throughs?  What a stupid rule. Drive throughs make a lot of sense. We need MORE. [/quote]

What makes sense about a drive thru in an urban area with scarce land and traffic issues in a city that is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and being safer for pedestrians and cyclists?

Drive thrus save no time, lead to lots of lazy people sitting in their SUVs with the engines idling while blocking traffic and usually the sidewalk and the land use is really stupid too.

But this is America and everyone should be able to get 10 MPG in their suburban while waiting to buy an Egg McMuffin right?[/quote]

If you cannot see how a drive through would be safer in COVID times, I cannot really help you. If you are driving a car that only gets 10 mpg, there are also larger issues and the person driving it should probably be given an award for saving a chunk of metal from the dump. [/quote]

My cars gets a lot more than 10mpg and I end up going to the McDonald’s on River road with my Kids rather than the one on Wisconsin. About equidistant. Because it’s just easier especially now with covid. The McDonald’s on Wisconsin could easily be a nice drive through.  Sometimes we even get our food and eat in the car. [/quote]

LOL - we were coming back from a soccer game last weekend and the line for the drive-in on River Road was almost a block long.

So we parked, put on our masks and were in and out in under 5 minutes.  The drive thru line cleared 2 cars in the time we were in and out.

Meanwhile you were being paranoid and doing your part to accelerate global warning.

So no you don't need to help me - you need to grow up and have some common sense. [/quote]
