boulangerie christophe for their pastries

Dr Lisa Cohen at MOSA in downtown silver spring (one block from metro). She was so kind plus excellent at extractions. i have dental anxiety and she was both understanding and kept true to her word to make the process painless.

Isn’t Eurovision in May?

It’s an estimate, but yeah. This isn’t really that unusual. American History was closed for two years due to renovations too and Air and Space had rolling closures over like 6 years. No structural issues I know of but this is the first renovation in the museum’s almost 50 year history. According to dcist they’re trying to modernize the building and especially switch up the entrances given attendance is way up.

Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, which is the Smithsonian’s contemporary art museum museum, will close for interior renovations in 2024. so probably worth a visit if you haven’t already in 2023. the museum will probably be closed a couple of years during the renovations.

Could it be the smell of syrup wafting from denny’s?

Ok this was a while ago, but I know we went on the beltway and 270. Plus then a bunch of local roads around silver spring. Definitely highway driving. Almost no one-way skinny streets that you can run into in DC.

And good luck! Being scared is part of the process (and frankly better than being overly arrogant on the road). :)

I’d highly recommend Montgomery College’s Driver’s ed course. Offered at their Silver Spring/Takoma location, accessible via the downtown silver spring metro. Affordable and good quality (my instructor used to be a road test examiner). Is oriented for the MVA, but lots of overlap with DC laws so I don’t think that’s an issue. https://www.montgomerycollege.edu/workforce-development-continuing-education/transportation-safety/drivers-ed.html

I’ve done it for several years and not had an issue. Good luck!

in addition to the other comment, sometimes buses are trying to catch up to their schedule and they just let people on without paying to save time

Hotpads

i like them! fun activities, great way to meet some neighbors, and makes it easier to check out local businesses. cars can be so loud so it’s also nice to not have that constant noise. i wish we had more car free streets in dc (cough M street in Georgetown cough cough)

No cars, just people.

Income taxes may be slightly lower in DC. I also found the DC rec department, pools, and parks easier to access than Montgomery county’s. A lot of MOCO amenities like that are car focused, which is a drag. You have several good park and rec options in georgetown. Also georgetown just has a bunch more going on than Chevy chase. And close to downtown.

Dumplings and Beyond

Your best bet is to rent a spot from a private party (or really, sell your car and rent one when public transit doesn’t suffice). And yes it’s normal. You live in a big city, you can’t just assume you can store your property in public spaces for free.
