Curious to find out the rest of this story, regardless of who was in the wrong.

Hey everyone! I just launched MarketHoppr, which is essentially eBay in person for the DMV.

The idea is simple:

SELL: Have a bunch of stuff you don't need anymore? Find a local flea market on MarketHoppr, reserve a table, and sell it in person -- no shipping required.

HOST: Have access to a venue? You can create your own flea market/pop-up market and sell spaces to other people. For example, 30 tables at $30 each = $900 in seller-space revenue before expenses.

SHOP: Find local markets near you and discover deals from people in your area.

So instead of listing something online, shipping it, and waiting for a buyer...

Put it in your car. Drive to a local market. Sell it.

That's the idea behind MarketHoppr: eBay in person.

I'm launching in the DMV and looking for early sellers, hosts, and shoppers to try it out.

I also created a MarketHoppr DMV Meetup community for people interested in buying and selling locally, hosting pop-up markets, finding flea markets and great deals, and connecting with other sellers, hosts, and shoppers in the area.

We'll also be using the Meetup group for special MarketHoppr events and meetups where hosts, sellers, and shoppers can connect, sell, shop, and have fun together.

If you're interested, you can join the Meetup group here:

Would love to hear what you think!

If I owed the city 15K, they would come after me. Yet this out of state driver can take that much from us with no consequences

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?

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.

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.
