Such an honor to park today in the Chevy Chase PNC Bank lot that’s protected by the DC Historic Preservation Board. I shudder to think losing this beautiful gem to something like homes.

NIMBY alert in #tenleytown! This was hand delivered to my house. It asks for letters to the DC zoning commission to oppose upzoning around metro stations, in transit corridors…the usual nimby stuff. I plan on writing a letter supporting upzoning.

Once again, I’m giving up biking on Conn. Ave., the fastest, most direct and level route b/t my house and work, because a driver, once again, passed me so close at 30+MPH I could touch their car, in the lane I lawfully occupied. This after the driving right behind me, gunning the engine + honking.

After reneging on Conn. Ave. Bike lanes, ripping out bike lanes on Ariz. Ave. and failing to enforce traffic laws, it’s good to see that @mayorbowser.bsky.social and @ddotdc.bsky.social have a sense of humor.

This as I arrived at home from the commute from work, and not a drop on me. Sometimes you get lucky.
