[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had lunch the other day in DC. It looked like a ghost town. Nobody on the sidewalks and hardly any traffic. It was 1:00pm. The restaurant was empty too. We  asked the waitress where's your lunch crowd? She said its been slow the past couple weeks. [/quote]

Where were you?  I mean, lunch on a weekday in downtown DC has been a ghost town for 4 years, so not really understanding what the waitress is saying.

I was in Georgetown on a Friday night a week ago and it was absolutely mobbed.  Restaurant had a one hour wait for tables.

Same thing at The Wharf on a Saturday night the previous week.[/quote]

This.  DC business areas have very little housing and had been ghosted years ago since 2020.  Gtown was incredibly busy this weekend and even with our urban parking skills it took some time to find parking.  :lol:  I noticed some new stores that opened up too, as well as restaurants since last time.  Dupont area looked quite empty on Friday night, maybe because of people getting tired of cold weather.  I didn't notice much change to Gtown, Foggy Bottom, West End areas compared to before, it's definitely not empty or depressed looking in any way. [/quote]
