You could also scrap it. There are some haulers that will pay you 200-300 dollars for the car. They will show up, have you sign over the title, and then tow your vehicle. Make sure you grab your plates before they tow and turn those in.

As opposed to 100-200 bucks at 3.5 hours? Seems decent.

I'm a federal worker but I'm not in the DMV area. So it doesn't affect me personally. But I do understand congestion as I'm from NYC.
However, it'd be nice if VA had reliable public transportation.

You know you can make all of that at home for like 1/10 the cost, right?

I donated my van to the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. They picked it up from my house. Super easy.

The employees at the Nottingham store always seem overworked. Good for them.

Good for them. Starbucks is in the business of serving overpriced coffee flavored milkshakes to basic bitches. The fewer in operation, the better.

This is a Buffalo only contest. I’ve detailed why previously and extensively.
Basically it’s not an apples to apples comparison.

Did you post anything? What are the scoring criteria?

Maybe about 10+ years ago (when I worked for MTA Maryland and took Light Rail in/out), but the tracks are a bit rough for it. There's been a few artists drawing on transit that I've noticed. MARC is a bit smoother for artwork.

Seriously! But the bigger benefit will be a stop at L'Enfant on the way, giving many federal workers a one seat ride to the office. This would also take some crowding off Metro since those workers would no longer need a trip from Union Station down

I've heard that, but I've never seen one of their trains actually hit that speed, mostly because the stops are too close to accelerate that high

Amtrak Regional goes up to 125, Acela up to 135 in Maryland. Acela is capable of 150, but the catenary system is an old design that prevents this. But Amtrak does have a project planned to upgrade the catenary, and the new Avelia trainsets can go 165! So we may see even higher speeds in the near future

It would help to share your budget and other qualities you seek in a neighborhood, such as commuting distance, art/culture, type of neighbor, etc. Why Baltimore County? Must it be Baltimore County when other counties like Howard County can be a close drive to the city or DC?

Marc to Union Station, then Metro Red line to Rockville!

N Charles St is my go-to and their staff is always undermanned for the crowds they see. Hope they don’t get the corporate fist for unionizing and standing up for themselves. Good for them.
