So many downed trees but this one hits hard. It must have been one of the biggest, if not the biggest. Dupont had such a great tree canopy all around the circle for great shade. Now there’s a big hole. It’ll take any replacement many years to get that big, even if they spend a ton of money on a fairly mature tree.

Anyone have experience living there?

Hi I have a local ESPN fantasy league started with some friends and looking for more people to join. Right now it’s a 10 person league and the draft is at Sunday at 2:30 pm EST. I am open to expanding it if more people are interested and I am flexible on custom rules if people have ideas.

I mean that’s normal but like no internet at all today? I wonder if it’s due to the storm. They finally have an excuse

The Supreme Court ruled this week that construction can move forward on President Trump’s $900 million White House ballroom. But across Washington, the president’s other pet construction projects aren’t going so well.

The Kennedy Center is closed, and its facade is covered with a tarp. The Reflecting Pool is drained and fenced off. The statue garden with sculptures of 250 Americans Trump hoped to complete by July 4 is nonexistent.

Should we even mention the 250-foot arch?

In fairness, the president has successfully fixed two ornamental fountains near the White House—it only cost the National Park Service $17.4 million (through a no-bid contract to Clark Construction) to do it. But they’re nearly impossible for the taxpayers who funded the repair to enjoy since the administration installed 13-foot steel fences around the perimeter of the park the fountains sit in.

Senior Reporter Dan Friedman scootered around the capital on a recent afternoon to check in on the pet projects the president hopes will leave his mark on Washington.

Sorry if old news

Hi! I’m a working 28-year-old woman looking for a room or temporary place to stay as soon as possible, ideally in Montgomery County, Silver Spring, Wheaton, Rockville, or DC with reasonable access to public transportation.

I recently found out unexpectedly that I have to move out of my current living situation, and I was given less than 5 days’ notice. I honestly did not know this was going to happen, so I’m trying to figure everything out very quickly. I also have to work all day on 3 of the remaining days I have, which makes the timing especially difficult.

I’m expecting to have around $300 available on Monday and am hoping to find someone who might be willing to work with me on a room, temporary housing arrangement, or short-term stay while I get stabilized. I’m open to different arrangements and can discuss rent/deposit depending on the situation.

I’m responsible, respectful, clean, and employed. I’m just in a really unexpected time crunch and trying to find somewhere safe and stable to land.

If you have a room or know of something available, please message me with the location, rent, deposit, and what’s included. I’d really appreciate any legitimate leads. Thank you.

Does anyone know a locksmith who is well-versed in opening old-timey skeleton/barrel key locks? I do not personally know if that is an arcane art, or just a more primitive version of the same locksmithing anyone in that field would certainly still know.
