So wife and I walked up to the mailbox together about 15 minutes ago (about 300 steps each way). 33 degrees, she put on a coat, scarf, gloves and was freezing before we got back, I slipped on a pair of loafers and went in my short sleeve T-shirt, it felt wonderful lol.

They say opposites attract.

Blows for that area. Walk through it every day for work. Doesn’t feel unsafe right now IMO, but it is sad to see a lot of closed businesses and it’s just generally kinda dead. Can’t imagine it without the presence of the arena. Assume it’ll stay a concert venue or something after, but jeez.

Yea, the last thing that area needs in a down economy is for two pro sports teams to relocate.  I don't really venture down there too often, but when I do it's nice that it's in a centralized location.

Well it's "official" -- pending (reasonable in this case) NIMBYs in Arlington/Alexandria not really wanting an arena and concert venue 3 blocks from their homes off Route 1. 

Sounds like the Mystics move to Cap 1 and they try to keep it a concert venue... better than nothing.

lol have fun driving on Rt 1.  I am almost always YIMBY, but the best locations for arenas are in dense commercial areas with lots of transit and accessibility.  Potomac Yards is not that.

Yesterdays discussion was so much more stimulating in the mid/long range thread

From despair to hope over the same long range progs. We teeter ever on the edge of a knife - for the next random set of projected swirls that shall rule all emotions. Sauron shouldn’t have fucked around with one ring to rule them all, he simply needed a weather model…

Classical sig material for all-time. Especially that last sentence.

I think if we try hard enough we can get 5 or 6 more people in the mid/long range thread to tell us how next week won't work.

I’ll be sure to post Webb’s 9 tweet thread about it and the never ending torch when he gets it posted
