Presumably as much as a security guard?

Does an off-duty police officer have authority?

Seriously considering a move to Nooga. Any other insider tips?

I don't know if it's an advantage or disadvantage that our inner city rail has to schlep out to the suburbs on each trip. Most cities seem to prefer keeping inner city rail and commuter rail as separate entities. DC is weird.

It’s wonderful. I typically don’t travel with a suitcase/check in so it’s such a breeze. Saves me $150 on international trips ($75 in and out).

I’m from Knox and fully agree! Everyone always asks why I drive home. And my husband always bitches when I want to take a cheaper flight out of Dulles. I’m so used to driving everywhere because flying is so expensive from TYS that an extra 30 minutes to get to the airport doesn’t phase me lol
My husband went down a week after me for Christmas and I had him fly to BNA instead of TYS for a $300 savings. I think he understands the reason I’m so willing to go an extra 30 minutes for a cheaper flight now lol

He’s dangerous. He won’t stop following you—I would recommend running.

3 blocks away; this happened a few months ago but I've seen the guy around the Giant more than a few times recently.

Yeah like I was full blown running pretty hard to the last escalator but it’s doable

Going from Benning Road Station to Shinjuku Station is now a thing thanks to the Silver Line.

Was it near the convention center? He was talking about his grandmother and sounded pretty unhinged.

I like to shit on the time it takes to get from Dulles to the city (example: Rosslyn to Largo is quicker than Rosslyn to Dulles, even with significantly more stops going to Largo and three lines of congestion). But you show a great contrast - it took me 90 min to get from Shirlington to the South Capitol Street exit on 395 this weekend. I can’t imagine what a drive from Dulles would have taken.

You’re ignoring the trains in front of the hypothetical express train. It’s not possible without new tracks unfortunately. WMATA did a study on doing it with existing infrastructure, and it saves 6 minutes. Huge oversight IMO, it would have been worth the cost.

If you drink IPAs screaming children would be an upgrade.

It’s pretty crazy. In London that type of distance is covered only by regional railways. Couldn’t imagine the tube taking a track out to Gatwick.

I am almost certain this is the same guy who was sleeping under my building's covered (but open) parking area. Def a short young guy, but his hair adds a few inches? He actually came across "friendly" to me but then followed me to my car asking for cash - literally hand on my door and super intimidating. I told him I'd get cash and come back and he backed off but one of the only times I've actually been scared living here.

They can laugh but a friend lost a young sister in a similar situation. Parents socializing, drinking probably near a pool .
