Barred in DC @barredindc.bsky.social · 08/10/2026For my fellow West Virginians, the Charleston Town Center Mall is closing next year. Only has 13 open stores right now. I remember going in there in the 90s and was in awe -was the only multistory mall in state 100

Barred in DC @barredindc.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Curious when schools (assuming this is a thing at other schools) started calling PE, art, music etc “specials”. I don’t remember what (if anything, maybe enrichment) they called them back in late 80s/early 90s but it wasn’t that 410
Barred in DC @barredindc.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The very fun event for kids outside Eastern Market - Hilloween returns again on Friday October 30th - possibly owing to fact there's no DCPS school that day, it will be held from 4-6p.

Reposted by Barred in DCTucker Jones @tuckerjones.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Glad to see this on track for implementation next year. The ANC and neighborhood residents and businesses provided feedback from 2023-24 (and presumably beyond) to make this bus priority lane better. The neighborhood (represented thru its ANC) overwhelmingly supports bus priority lanes here on U St. 061

Barred in DC @barredindc.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Looks like DDOT posted some updates (see the concept map) for the U Street bus lanes coming in 2027. Parking/drop off/loading will still generally remain but the right traffic lane in each direction will be a bus lane. Not sure if rush hour only or 24/7. 291
