There's already a restaurant in the works to replace Saison.

I never really went to Max's but I was around the area a bunch it didn't often seem that busy. I do hope something Saison-esque pops up in the Max's space though.

Sounds like another day of sleep is in your future

If we had been having this conversation 3 months ago I probably would have disagreed with you, but I did twist my ankle running that trail on my birthday. This was during peak leaves on the ground time though, so I guess OP if you do run the trail just exercise some caution on where your feet go. Otherwise the capital trail is much safer terrain wise but also not nearly as fun imo.

The buttermilk/North Bank trail would probably be up your alley. It's a pair of trails that stretch around the James River, the southern portion being the buttermilk trail, and the northern the north bank trail. The link says it's 6.2 miles but I usually log about 7 on my watch with ~500 ft of elevation. The trails make for a beautiful scenic run!

That thrift store is an enigma. I went there about 6 months ago and was really impressed. Everything was 3-5 dollars and they had a great selection. I've been back to carytown probably a dozen times since, at various times and days of the week, and they're always closed. They're not on Google maps, and I don't think they have a website or Facebook page.

I'm not sure what 9 & 3/4 magic I need to get back in that place but someone let me in on the secret.

Yeah I usually carpool up there with some friends, so that's nice to know. Thanks!

Wait so is it free to use those toll lanes on 95 if you've got the hov switch on? I just got the ez-pass with the switch and I was wondering about that.

Absolute bomb, one of the few field goals that made it in today!

Despite all their controversy recently, this is a place gas stoves have a leg up. Growing up my parents had a gas stove and I remember more than a couple occasions where we were still cooking despite the power being out.

Just make sure you take them all, don't want to contribute to the antibiotic resistant super bacteria numbers!

I saw a group of ~20 people running/jogging in Oregon Hill around midnight last night and was wondering if anyone knew what the deal was. Part of me wanted to catch up and ask them, but the other part of me just wanted to get home.

Yup this was the whole foods in Pentagon city, you could see the Pentagon from the roof. People can say what they want about Nova, but I dig their grocery store apartment complexes.

I visited a friend a couple years ago who lived in an apartment above a whole foods, the building's residents had their own private entrance to it. Since then I always thought it would be pretty awesome to live above a grocery store.

Cool link! Windsor Farms is doing a lot to inflate those household income and home value stats. Not that it's wrong but I was scratching my head at the average home value in that area being ~670k

I feel the complete opposite way. As someone who spends relatively little time watching TV/movies and listens to music as background noise more than anything, I don't put much weight on them. There are so many more important aspects to any sort of relationship for me. Besides, outside of some sort of SO/partner, you're not usually forced to listen/watch someone else's taste in music or cinema.
