I Got coffee beans from a cafe a few months ago and trying to figure out where it was. I think the coffee beans bag was striped (orange?) and it was a very hip place. There was a rack in the middle of the store with clothes/merch as well. I believe it was in NE? Any help in finding what that was would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I moved to DC recently and would love to get more involved.

I’m curious for yall’s recommendations on places to volunteer weekly that are interesting/cool (like the smithsonian but that’s pretty limited) or feel really rewarding (like where you can see the impact)? Bonus points if it’s social and you’ve made a friend or two from there!

Thanks!!!

Was everyone aware of this? Takes me by surprise.

Snippet from the article:
Consider a voter who ranks Candidate A first and Candidate B second. If Candidate A remains in the race through the final round, that ballot stays with Candidate A. Candidate B gets no vote from that ballot.
If Candidate A is ranked second, the ballot reaches Candidate A only if the first choice is eliminated. Once transferred, it counts for Candidate A unless that candidate is later eliminated.
That means once a ballot helps elect one at-large member, it will not count toward the second. Every vote for a candidate ranked below the first winner on those ballots is skipped.

I’m looking to buy a red, real leather Women’s jacket for this upcoming season (and ideally my Halloween costume). I prefer to thrift my leather, for sustainability and quality reasons. I love the look of vintage leather!

I’m new to the area, and I was wondering if anyone had thrift store recommendations that usually have a good outerwear and leather selection. Happy to leave DC, would prefer to be within one hour of DC (take that loosely and ignoring traffic lol)

Thank you!

It seems like so many more people are smoking in the city than in recent years. I know I read a report that a lot of people are taking up smoking in order to quit vaping. Is that what yall are doing? If so, you’re an idiot and you should know that. That’s like shooting up heroin to quit an oxy addiction

I was at Residents in DuPont for HH, and the guy on the next barstool exposed himself and was masturbating. After coming to terms with what I was seeing (he was trying to be discrete), I reported him to the host stand. While I was gone he paid his tab and left. He definitely knew what was going on and left before he could be held accountable. No one had any idea what he was doing, except for the two women on the other side of him who later corroborated what I saw.

He was a late 20s-mid 30s Black man with longer hair. He wore workout tights with shorts over them, and definitely cut a hole in the tights with his shorts as a cover. Before engaging in this behavior, he made normal small talk with me and the bartender. Nothing in his behavior or appearance was weird or abnormal. And he didn’t hit on me, make me feel uncomfortable, or say anything inappropriate. Him literally jacking off at the bar seemingly came out of no where.

I’m making this post so that if others see this man doing this, PLEASE believe your eyes and say something. Don’t gaslight yourself (yes, it is crazy, but your eyes saw what they saw). Trust yourself to make a report when you see something that makes you uncomfortable. And don’t wait for others to say something, because the guy might cause harm to others (and we should report fuxkin weirdos).

Where do poor/low income whites live in DC? Specifically DC

WHERE?

First Round (recently changed their name from Step-Childe Harold)

1610 20th St NW (basement level)

Happy hour deals: Specials until 7 pm

Convenient to the red line @ Dupont Circle

WHO?

We’ll be there starting at 6:30pm. Each week's host will let you know where we are in the bar and who to look for via the comment section. Keep in mind that we may move around, so check the comments for updates.

WHAT?

We are an informal meetup group gathering at bars around the District. All we want is to socialize after a long week and make new friends. All are welcome - whether you’re an old school Washingtonian, a recent transplant, or (gasp) not a Redditor, this group is for you! Here’s a link to a FAQ.

This happy hour is a welcoming place to meet new people or hang out with old friends. Please remember to treat each other respectfully. Anyone who cannot do this may be asked to leave at the host's discretion.

Folks, good evening! I am going to be a first time mama and I have to tell you; I am feeling a little put off by the options for maternity wear in the box stores and am curious if anyone has any suggestions for shops or stores in DC that have great stuff for pregnant ladies? I am looking for things that are reasonably priced, warm for the winter and can be worn to work as well as social outings as time (and bebe) allows. Thanks for your consideration and recs!

P.s. I know there are lots of online shops but while I can still move around without waddling I want to shop IRL if possible.

Update: thank you for such warm words and suggestions area moms. It means a lot. This has been a long time coming and a baby i didnt think would be possible ever. My parents are gone and his parents are deceased so its felt sort of crazy trying to figure this out without my own mom or even a meddling MIL lol so lovely mamas, thanks for helping.

anyone else notice how strangely hot out it is? this is mid october :/

Can't say for sure that means they're marked to be torn down, but it sure seems that way. Many of the trees marked are the largest and most beautiful trees out there.

Hello,

I'm looking for as much information on the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency as possible. It's for a possible employment opportunity.

Any past, present, or future employees that can weigh in and tell me more about this agency and the Pros and Cons?

Also welcome any info from anyone who worked alongside them or were supervised by them.

Thank you.

Our alley was repaved recently, but along our fence they left it as dirt (about a 1 foot strip). We have serious rodent pressure in this alley so trying to figure out next steps - ask the city to return and pave up to the fence? Pay for gravel to fill the strip?

We each were looking at the same website and at the exact same time. She makes more money than I do. Is this legal? It pisses me off but I want to know - is this something that Postmates is doing are the restaurant is deciding to do on its own?

Are we just missing something obvious? Neither of us at selected an option for delivery or pick up yet.

Wondering if there are any groups or locations in the DC area that hosts games of Vampire The Masquerade, and would welcome a new player, who has never played the tabletop version of the game.

I have a septoplasty tentatively scheduled at Feldman ENT for November 3, but I also need to address my nasal valve collapse. They don't do nasal valve grafts--just Vivaer, which is $3k out of pocket and not permanent. Does anyone know of a good surgeon in the DMV area that does this work and actively sees patients?

TIL there were not one, but two (kinda) I. M. Pei fixtures at L'Enfant Plaza? For the fountain this is the only picture I can find and there is really not any information about it at all -- I assume they took it down and replaced it with the pyramid to allow more road traffic?

Note: I. M. Pei designed the Fountain, not the Pyramid, though the latter certainly pays homage to him.

Dear DoorDash,

I’d be happy to resume using your service if you fire your dc lobbyists and disavow their dumbass plan to fight home rule. It’s that simple!

by M st. SE. Never seen that many cops respond to something like that.

For years we have loved going to the "Masters of Suspense" series The Miracle Theater Capitol Hill does in October with a bunch of Hitchcock films. It's a great fall tradition for the District. This year, nothing seems planned. Does anyone know why not?

Does anyone have recommendations for take-out Thanksgiving dinners in the city?

I have to host family (5-6 people), but I won’t be able to cook everything by myself this year. (Heating up is fine - just can’t be cooking anything from scratch).

TIA!!!

Haven’t play organized ice hockey in over a dozen years but I‘m still a solid skater and I’ve got an itch to play again. Does anyone have any suggestions of low-level/beginner leagues/orgs I could join in the DMV this winter?
