I searched and didn't see a topic in Old School for this, so here goes.

Effective June 3, I will be a resident of DC!

Welcome to the pit of snakes. A pit of snakes with plenty of great eats and numerous happy hours. Are you living in the city, living in Virginia, or going to the side of the beltway in Maryland?

Renting a room in a row house a block from the Columbia Heights metro station. Drove up and walked the area with my brother last week, and it looked pretty good.

My brother just finished his freshman year at George Washington, so he knew a little bit about the area.

I wanted to stay as close to the city as possible. I'm moving up for a new job, and part of the appeal was the chance to live in a city, which is something the girl and I wanted to try out for a little while.

You live in my neighborhood... I'm guessing you live on Park, Monroe, Kenyon, or Irving.

I'm about to move to Dupont, but Columbia Heights is awesome.

6/3/2009 5:27:21 PM

<-- Reston. Close enough.

6/4/2009 12:00:51 AM

currently in Reston, but the lady lives on Logan Circle so I'm in DC most every weekend

can't wait to move into the city this winter, but the commute every morning will be a huge adjustment from my daily bike ride to and from work

Mirimar by chance? That's where I'm moving on the 19th.

Or maybe 1500 Mass?

6/5/2009 10:43:25 AM

Some complications arose, and I wasn't able to get up here until yesterday evening. But I'm finally here and getting settled.

You are correct -- I'm on Irving. I've been doing a bunch of walking around Columbia Heights last night and today, and it is indeed pretty awesome so far.

dc is known for looking nice in some areas and then you get off a block or two and its PROTECT YA GODDAMN NECK

Miramar is just a couple blocks away, but she's on the Circle itself in an old house that's been converted into apartments

No love for Arlington?

So I'm looking for a good deli/sandwich place. I've heard Vace, in Cleveland Park, is good...anyone ever been there? Do you have a favorite sandwich place?

I've done Potbelly, but that's not a deli sandwich. You know what I mean?

Any thoughts? Thanks.

6/15/2009 9:39:43 PM

Dicky's

1701 I st NW

6/16/2009 1:39:23 PM

Oh rock on, that's only two blocks from the metro station I use for work. Will check it out...thanks!

6/16/2009 6:45:54 PM

No problem - BTW, 2 Metro trains collided on the red line. Multiple deaths reported already. I hope you're all okay.

6/22/2009 6:18:40 PM

Made it home OK. The collision was north of downtown, near Maryland. But they were reporting "major delays" due to "mechanical problems" in the metro stations.

Could have been much worse for sure.

6/22/2009 6:27:38 PM

thats because fort totton is a jump off for red green and yellow going down from PG county

6/23/2009 1:58:39 PM

Yeah, it definitely affected my commute home. Took almost twice as long as usual because I use red line and green/yellow lines.

Pretty crazy stuff. Very sad.

6/23/2009 2:40:14 PM

very glad all my DC buddies are safe. it's the line that 4 of my friends would take, and none were on it.

6/23/2009 3:48:53 PM

What's up...?
Just moved to DC a few weeks ago.

Is anyone interested in getting together to hang out...? Def miss hanging out with folks from back home.

6/30/2009 12:22:18 AM

Where are you living? Feel free to PM if you don't want to post it all up in the public space here.

I'm living in Columbia Heights, working at 20th and M.

7/1/2009 6:44:57 PM

Would everyone be interested in getting together for a drink one night in the next week or two?

7/5/2009 11:01:02 AM

just moved offices up into midtown, Connecticut and L ish area

still living on the Hill

7/14/2009 11:42:03 PM

I want to get together! I live at 8th and Rhode Island NW and work in Alexandria.

7/15/2009 10:27:56 PM

Close. I'm between DC and Baltimore along 29.

To get into the city, I would take the Red Line in from Glenmont

7/22/2009 10:39:02 PM

welcome to summer folks

this is what june 1st normally feels like

7/23/2009 11:04:51 AM

I too would take the redline in from Grosvenor-Strathmore, since I work in Bethesda.

Should we plan a get together for next week?

7/25/2009 8:45:17 PM

At least that's the safer end. When I heard where the accident happened, I was not surprised in the least. I used to hear the automatic safety system engage the brakes all the time on the above-ground stretch between Union and Forest Glen. It's also where I've most often had to wait because they were single tracking. Obviously there's some strong selection bias, in that that's the stretch I ride the most now, but I do have a lot of experience going in and out of Northern Virginia, and never experienced anything like the east side of the Red Line.

7/31/2009 9:58:37 PM

Alrightie... I say we all go out for a drink on Sat.
Anyone interested?

8/4/2009 8:45:54 PM

nope!

8/5/2009 9:38:18 AM

I worked at 20th & K St NW for 2 years I was there! went to washington deli pizza all the time...

i also biked into work some days, only 4.5 miles from Arlington to 20/K

now in Denver. I couldn't stand the fast-paced way of life where people put their job before their life. out here people have their priorities straight. good place to go out of college though, get's your career a big boost.

any you people want to watch the game with the alumni group up here, it's going to be up in dupont at buffalo billiards

9/3/2009 9:15:20 AM

Oh nice. I'm not sure I can make it tonight, but that will be helpful for games that might not be on TV up here. Although, admittedly, I'm not sure how the TV deal will work here.

But either way, it's good to see a group exists for things like this.

9/3/2009 2:46:31 PM

i'll be in for a few games this fall i'm sure...just moved up to Annapolis last week

had to skip tonight as tomorrow I'm driving to columbus for the Navy-tOSU game!
