I would like to know this as well. I couldn't figure it out last time I was affected and wound up walking out of the road closure area and taking an Uber. They also closed the roads earlier than scheduled that day. I left before the stated time to avoid the mess but the buses had already started detouring.

Today is just a half marathon so it'll be over soon. There isn't a major marathon tomorrow. If you're thinking of the Marine Corps Marathon in October, I agree, but someone would have to pay for the extra service.

This was my experience at a nonprofit. I'm in IT but was surprised at first when I heard that our policy interns had master's degrees. They make connections and go on to more prestigious positions.

I've only been to the one at Crystal City but it's not for me. I don't like having wait service during a movie. I purposely arrived early to get my order in and hopefully my food before the movie starts but this didn't happen. My order wasn't taken until just before the movie. My shake came out in maybe 10 min but then popcorn took about 30 min. My shake, which I wanted to have with the popcorn was pretty melty by then.
I prefer to just get my food before the movie at a concession stand and then sit. I also unfortunately sat on the side the wait staff comes out of so it was just nonstop running up and down the stairs through the whole movie. The popcorn and shake were really good, though!
