Yeah good idea. I was given a hard copy of a notice last time that I actually had to fill out and return with some information on. So I’m pretty shocked I didn’t get anything this time. I was thinking oh, that’s nice no rent increase this year! Not 🙁

Check with your LL first and ask for date of notification and mailing date if hard copy.

All my rent increase notifications were letter sent by mail, but USPS has been screwed up for a while.

For example my jury duty summons came a month after I got the email notification.

Stock wheels on newer model Honda have value on resale market. Particularly the black ones. I opt not to get a model with sport trim kit with black wheels bc (as I told my sales guy) "it'll totally get stolen in DC".

I mean I didn't intend to mess my wheels but when you street park on narrow one ways, you try to get close AF to the curb anyways.

I could be wrong but I thought most stolen wheels were sold for scrap. Popular models get targeted because there is a set price at the shady scrap yards and you get your cash fast. Popular, newer cars get especially targeted because big rims are in style and the standard rims on a new Civic have much more metal then one from a few years ago.

For sure some are resold though. Like my neighbor's escalade's giant chrome rims stolen yesterday I can just picture sitting out for sale at one of those lots on Rhode Island Ave by the MD border.

The team store at Nats Park is about as close as you’re going to get to a small or local business if you want the actual Nats logos. The team store is independent from both the Nats (although they do have nationals.com email addresses) and online mega-store Fanatics, and they are licensed to sell actual mlb merchandise.

If you don’t need the actual Nats logo, try 7th and F, who are local and have a lot of local sports apparel https://seventhandf.com/

Anyone who wants to sell MLB merchandise has to be licensed by mlb, and that is a costly process that unfortunately rules out a lot of small businesses. Any mom-and-pop shop that’s selling Nats swag is probably selling knock offs.
