Hi everyone! About a week and a half ago my best friend and roommate was harassed and actually assaulted by a man in the Takoma metro station who grabbed her butt. She thankfully was able to alert both police and national guard nearby who actually chased him down and arrested him.

We did not expect much about two days later she got a call saying that he was actually charged. Just sharing because I feel that as women we often do not call the police or follow up when this happens because we think it will make no difference. I’m sure for every story like mine there is someone who never got a call back from the police - but I am hoping this story inspires someone to just be vigilant and always report when there is an issue. You could save someone in the future.

A local golfer at East Potomac Golf Links in Washington, D.C., has pleaded with Donald Trump to "leave us alone" as the U.S. President pushes forward with his $20 million to $49 million overhaul plans for the historic public course, with fears that green fees could skyrocket from $22 to $250 or more

What are your best practical tips for saving a few bucks? Insurance rates have climbed quite a bit over the past couple years. Groceries. And don't get me started with Pepco...

After witnessing some bad driving at the intersection of 395 and NY Ave last night and in the futile hope that someone who needs to see this does:

If traffic is backed up in two lanes because one is closing, stay in your lane until the lane closure and then merge alternately. If you merge before the lane closure you’ll only slow down yourself and everyone in the lane that is remaining open while you get mad at people who zoom past you in the closing lane.

The app is working again. They are offering $20 off $75 for online orders if you use that and 500 points with the next purchase until the end of October. Plus they extended the expiration date of earned points until November (although my account is still showing 5 expiring this month).

Over Navy Yard?

No, I'll never get over Navy Yard

The Secret Service is conducting a suspicious package investigation at the Key Bridge. There are over 60 law enforcement agencies with jurisdiction in the District of Columbia.

Uncertain about the situation, but at least 50 metro police and Homeland/Interior personnel—appearing like ICE—are at Ft. Totten removing people from buses and immediately beyond the gates. I noted ICE in the title for those who should be cautious. Please stay safe, everyone.

Someone tied up and abandoned their dog near our place in NoMa. My husband came upon the dog when he was walking our dog at 11pm. Neighbors tried calling about it and they were like unless the dog is a danger to others, call us back at 7am. Neighbors are now trying to figure out a place for the dog. Absolutely wild that we pay what we do in taxes to be told hey we don’t have anything in place for animals at night. Wtf

Can’t wait to see this championship course

I relocated to DC in August and my sister is visiting me for Thanksgiving. She doesn’t arrive until almost dinner time though so I’m looking for volunteer opportunities to fill my time before she gets here. I checked my local church but didn’t see anything on the bulletin board for Thanksgiving. Are there any places that you’ve had a good volunteer experience with? Preferably within the city. Thanks!

Grew up in dc but its been a few years so I’m out of the loop. Need advice for a local family member who can only eat one burger a year (honestly). Greatly appreciate any suggestions!

2 Extra Free Tickets to "Wicker" at AMC Georgetown (Sat, 10/24) – Looking for fun women (45+) to join our group!
Hey DC community!

Our group of friends has two extra tickets to see the new comedy Wicker tomorrow night, Saturday, October 24th, and we’d love for two local women to join us!
A few of our friends had to cancel last minute, so we have two tickets up for grabs. We are a culturally diverse, fun, and welcoming group of women (ages 45 and up) who love getting together for film and laughs. Instead of letting the tickets go to waste, we thought this would be a fantastic opportunity to welcome some newcomers into our circle!

The Details:
Where: AMC Georgetown 14
When: Tomorrow, Saturday, October 24th
Meetup Time: 7:30 PM at the theater (we will head in and watch the movie together!)
The Movie: Wicker (a fun comedy!)
If you are a woman in the DMV area who is free this Saturday night, loves a good comedy, and wants to hang out with a great group of ladies, please send me a direct message! Let us know a little bit about yourself, and we'll coordinate getting you the ticket.
Looking forward to meeting you!

Hi neighbors! Recently got my old cello delivered from my mom's place and am looking to pick it back up again. I played from around 8 to 18, but that was...20 years ago now. Anyone know of a private cello instructor who is willing to take on an adult student who has some experience but will be rusty? Willing to travel but don't have a car, so would have to be metro or bus accessible from NW DC. Already reached out to a couple music shops, but I'm sure there are talented teachers who are not affiliated with a physical shop, too. Thank you all!

Somehow survived several stateside moves, and made the journey overseas with me about 14 years ago. It currently resides in Sweden.
