[Discussion] Celeb outside Yellow yesterday afternoon

73 Upvotes

I was out walking around the neighborhood yesterday afternoon, and made the mistake of getting myself caught in sidewalk traffic in front of Yellow in Georgetown. In addition to the normal nice weather line at Yellow, there were folks asking for photos with a guy who happened to be leaning against the jersey barrier right there. People around me were saying "I didn't recognize him at first" and "My brother is gonna be so jealous".

I'm just curious if anyone was there and knew who the heck the dude was. The quick glance I took, he kinda sorta looked like Jon Bernthal from The Punisher movies.

[Fun!] Update on Crack Fish and Chicken

Post image
98 Upvotes

The other week there was a post about the hilariously bad AI-generated photos that Crack Fish and Chicken uses. I hate slop as much as anyone, but I was curious about the food. I had the fish sandwich combo and a side of Mac & Cheese. Everything was good, and they gave you a lot for your money. I think it's actually one of the better carryout deals on H Street. I thought the sandwich was reasonably photogenic, or at least as photogenic as a carryout fish sandwich can be. I've got no idea why they didn't just take photos of their food, but I plan to return in spite of the weird AI pictures.

[Discussion] How to start composting?

15 Upvotes

I live in a rowhouse in NW DC (so no backyard and no car) and am looking to start composting all my food waste because our house produces a lot. I've seen composting bins around the city that you can enter a passcode to use. Is there a central composting resource? Does the city hand out individual bins for single apartments to collect our compost first?

[Discussion] Tree of heaven removal

28 Upvotes

Got an assessment for a house im looking to buy and there is a gigantic ToH right in the back yard. Issue is that part of it is also in the neighbor’s yard but theyd have to cut through the fence to get to it. Neighbor’s place looks unmaintained for the most part, it’s like a junkyard back there so not sure if it’s worth talking to them about it. Ultimately im fine with the cost of take the whole thing out, those lantern flies freak me out! 

Also, the tree professionals I’ve spoken to unfortunately will not do the hack and squirt method, they just grind to a stump but even then, cannot grind the entire stump due to part of it being in the neighbor’s yard on the other side of their fence. Not really sure how to handle this because I dont want the tree sprouts coming up even more. My yard is small so I can find the sprouts and poison them as they come up I guess. Any suggestions?

[Discussion] Anyone have any experience with changing their house address in DC?

8 Upvotes

Our place is on a corner and we have changed the “front” of the house from one street to the other.

There’s a DC Gov’t process for changing your address. I’m wondering if there are any hidden pitfalls or hassles, other than the obvious inconveniences.

I started near the front, then I realized how crazy a pit of thousands of people was (and i lost one of my earplugs) so I ended up migrating back a bit later in the show. Absolutely fantastic show

[Event] Does anyone have extra tickets for the Undertale Symphony shows at The Anthem next week?

• Upvotes

I'm not sure what rock I've been living under but I didn't realize Toby Fox was hosting an Undertale music event in DC.

My son is obsessed with songs from his games and has learned most all of them on piano, but the shows now sold out. Thought I'd check in with locals to see if anyone has extra tickets or changed plans.

Thanks in advance!
