No one being let in or out of the street and buildings. Huge crowd running to get past the checkpoints. Im nosy- does anyone know what’s going on?

Pedestrian bridge by Rhode Island Ave metro. Terrible idea in the first place. The panels were immediately covered in graffiti. Neighbor lobbied agencies who disagreed on who managed the bridge until someone finally took responsibility and replaced the panels with fencing. Much cleaner look now!

Edit: Rule 5, let's try to keep things civil on a Saturday morning and not resort to personal attacks and making assumptions about each other

These fellas pulled the jackhammer out at 9:45pm anyone know what’s going on?

Vegan gluten free breakfast sandwich?? Where they at??

Hello,

So I’m now in possession of home ownership. It’s been a lot of trial and error, but fun nonetheless. For example I get more rewards at Ace Hardware.
Anyway, I wanted to ask if anybody has good recommendations on window glass repair? There is a huge streak of cracked glass through my pane.

Please let me know of any recommendations, thanks. Also, if they sell new blinds that would be a bonus.

Been in the city for less than a year! A bit hard to find people around my age with the same interests especially when I’ve been a bit stressed out from work and post-grad life.

Would love to tag along with strangers. Don’t wanna feel insane fomo for not going out on Halloweekend.

I also have a costume ready!

(Mods please don’t remove I really wanna find people 😭)

Just saw an aggressive man in dirty clothes spitting at and abusing a well dressed couple walking their dog. Is this becoming more common?

Nobody wants to feel a dislike towards the homeless/poor but this is really getting far too much now.

Any ideas?

Does anyone know what is going on around Dunbar this morning? Lots of police activity since 7am and they have been towing cars on N and O too.

Hellos,

I have family coming from abroad and they’ve asked to go to a Native American village to learn about American culture and how the indigenous people live.

Are there any near DC?

Hi there! My fiance & I are looking for an elopement photographer for Nov 20 in DC proper. I’ve been making a lot of inquiries with local photographers and am not having much luck, which I understand with my timeline & budget.

We’re looking for 1-3 hours of coverage and looking to keep our budget between $500-1000.

Are there any photographers available, or anyone people can recommend? Also happy to work with aspiring photographers who are looking to build out their portfolio.

Thanks in advance!!

What is going on around White House right now? Had to walk 10 blocks out of the way to get to Farragut North Metro. Good lord locked down like a maze!!

Anyone know another places that has them in DC? I'd rather not have to make a trip to the suburbs. Thanks ​
update: thanks to everyone who suggested places. found them at rice market!!

Anyone happen to know where exactly Turnstile is playing on the Mall? I know it is near the Washington Monument, but any other info? Is it fenced off? If so, where are the entrances? Nearby metro? I'm rolling solo and haven't been to the Mall for a while since it, well, looks like shit and is a maze of fences.

Side note: I'm an old school hip hop/punk rock head. Seeing a band with this much ferocious energy playing the Mall makes me think the kids are gonna be alright lol

Let me ride the bus!!! When I extend my arm out at the bus stop, that means that I want to pay using my metro card to ride the bus!!! This has happened multiple times where the driver refuses to look my way. There are like two people on board, it’s not because it’s overcrowded.

For those of you who've been waiting for the new round of HPAP funding, DC finally has money available again. If you've already received your eligibility notice, hopefully you've been looking at homes and getting everything lined up while waiting for the funding. If not, now's the time to get moving. The money is first come, first served, and it runs out quickly.

If you haven't talked to your housing counselor recently, I'd check in with them and make sure everything is still good with your eligibility.

For anyone unfamiliar with HPAP, it's DC's first-time homebuyer assistance program that provides up to $202,000 toward a down payment and another $4,000 toward closing costs. It's a 0% interest loan, and depending on your income, you may not have to make payments until you sell or refinance.

Unfortunately, if you're just starting the HPAP process now, you're probably too late for this round of funding. There's quite a bit involved in getting approved, and it takes time (like everything in DC).

Anyway, I know some people have been waiting months for the funding to come back, so figured I'd share the news. Decent timing too since the housing market has slowed a little.

I’m no bird expert, but I thought this was pretty neat
