It is always awful.

Ok thank you very much!

If you're looking to get away from riff-raff, try the Westin bar. If you like dive bars, First Down caters to a wide range of patrons. Somewhere in between would be something like Mussel Bar. A good date night place is Grand Cru.

OK, thank you! Just did

Might want to cross post in r/nova

The ARLNow comment section on these missing middle stories is always a nightmare.

Seems like the perfect being the enemy of the good to me.

Useful to note it is a specific change to the missing middle proposal they object to, not the originally proposed legislation.

Just another ArlCo Board vanity project.

Oh you're talking that kind of thin crust. I thought OP was talking about NY style.

I’m wondering if they’d make more by dropping the price and attracting more members. The gym is massive and there was maybe like 10 people there during a weekday.

Even with the “fee reduction” for lower income residents, it’s still way too much for a publicly funded facility.

And you won’t even have to pay for parking! 😆

Giant waste of taxpayer money. Like a new million dollar bus stop every week.

and yes, $70million in tax dollars. we could get 70 bus stops for that kind of money!

it loses $2million per year even at those prices

The high school pools are cheaper.

Any of the Volta chargers with the screens are free. A ton of Giants have them

Very EV friendly area. Of the 4 Arlington apartment buildings I’ve lived in, 2 have had EV charging stations that almost never get used.

That said, if you plan on commuting by car tolls will be a bigger problem than charging. 66 uses demand-driven toll pricing during rush hour and 267 is a toll road at all times. It can really add up.

The silver line is a practical option if your office is close to the station. Super early in the AM or late at night can be less so. Long waits and sketchy people (at least in DC proper. Less so in Arlington and probably very rare in FFX/Loudoun since the stations are above ground)

Many shopping centers have free EV charging stations (I think they're free, I never actually checked).

If you're commuting from N. Arlington (along the Orange+Silver line) to McLean, you'll have no trouble at all using metro. If you're in S. Arlington, I'd recommend a car for that commute. You'll also find ample charging options in Tysons/McLean.

Thank you! I was also debating whether a car is necessary if I were to commute to McLean via the metro. I've heard complaints about the public transportation being unreliable..

Very easy, most apartment complexes have EV charges. There’s also public chargers in the area as well. You will have no issues.

> The crust is just empty calories anyway, merely a conveyance for the toppings.

This is pretentious. Might as well go eat a taco if you feel this way.

Thanks for the tip! I was looking at the Nighthawk menu around the time I posted this. Was a little annoyed that they're charging an extra $5 for a Detroit style pizza (8x10 = 80 sq inches) that's half the size of their regular pizza (14 inch circle -> 49*pi = 153 sq inches).

I get that it's thicker/ more dough but it's already a $16 personal cheese pizza don't need to add $5 for a different style.

Still going to give them a shot though, maybe it's worth the extra.

Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll have to give some of these a try.
