Road trip to Roanoke and looking for a ~1 hour podcast episode. No politics. Lay it on me.

Edit: THANK YOU! The family carpool is blown away by the options. Especially the Tom Hanks of Trees.

I have a lot of women’s clothes to donate - any recommendations on the best place to take it? Some fast fashion, but mostly brands like Loft/Express and quite a few dresses, professional, and business casual pieces.

Reply to Sorrel/щавель by AdAlternative5545

There are several unrelated plants called sorrel that share only a sour flavor. I'm not sure which you seek.

There's a hibiscus-family sorrel that is often made into a sweetened beverage in Caribbean cuisine (in Spanish it's called jamaica). For this you would probably want to look for a tea shop or a spice shop.

There is also a leafy green named sorrel that one can put in salads or smoothies. For this you might check the produce section at whole foods.

There is a species of oxalis named 'wood sorrel' that grows wild here and can be found in nearly every lawn.

There are probably other sorrels too.

Reply to Have you encountered the creeper in the Museum District/Fan? by jdbug100

A creepy dude was banging on doors and smashed lights at 3 am at Georgetown village apts (Hamilton rd between monument and Patterson) a couple weeks ago. the complex sent a letter out to residents. Obviously can’t prove it’s the same dude, but has the intent to lure people out in common.
