Tfw you've convinced yourself that street parking, dense development and a comparatively high rate of target cars aren't factors, or would you say this is a considered opinion?

This. I don't know if there's good advice, per se, but back when I lived in Mt. Vernon this happened to a few of my roommates, and they just ...walked around the neighborhood and eventually found their cars.

Oddest thing is that nobody was ever panicked, it was just annoying.

Not enough traffic for a roundabout, I don't think? (not sure there ever is when traffic flow can be effectively handled by stop signs)

Also given how BCDOT ripped out the roundabouts in Barclay/Harwood not too many years ago I think they're not a fan of them in general.

Buses shouldn't need to run them over. AFAIK, the only flexposts that are meant to be permanent are there for emergency vehicle access (which itself shouldn't be necessary, but BFD isn't a fan of smaller trucks in general).

It clarifies and shortens crossing distances for pedestrians is the main thing, I think. It's not just (or even primarily) for drivers.

The decor confuses and frightens me, but I'm sure I'll go occasionally. When it was a Landmark, they ran a lot of movies that the Charles didn't pick up and if the Senator did, were never on the big screen.

Baltimore needs more movie theaters, arguably at least as much as it needs more show spaces.

Bottoms Up Bagels in Waverly serves it, but not sure how they receive it. Would certainly be worth an ask if you're not looking for the supermarket variety.

FWIW I don't think they were first by any stretch, but it was convenient for me to buy sake there before they carried mirin, and one day when I was there for a new bottle of mirin a couple of years back, they had shaoxing as well. I'm sure there are places in EC and around Rockville that have much bigger selections of Asian imports, I've just never bothered looking.

Wine Source up in Hampden sells it (also mirin and a few bottles of baijiu on the same endcap with the sake/soju).

edit: and, NB: the shaoxing most Asian markets carry is as heavily salted/etc. as the bottles of cooking wine in a supermarket. You need a liquor license to carry the normal/real stuff.
