So glad we tore down the Adams Morgan streateries so we have plenty of space for this guy who owes $2,200 in unpaid tickets so he can park directly in front of tryst!!!

Photo of a truck with Virginia license plate TJA 1553 parked directly next to the curb in front of Tryst on 18th street in Adams Morgan, in the space that held their outdoor dining patio until recently

Different angle perpendicular to the pickup truck showing it is directly in front of Tryst

Screenshot of the DC parking ticket website showing that the truck has $2200 in unpaid tickets, mostly for illegal parking on 18th street, but also three for speeding and one for running a red light.

Trying to make a list of all the bike projects that DDOT planned and then seriously watered down over the last year or two... --CT Ave (obviously) --KS Ave (described below) --11th street NW --K Street NW transitway not to mention downgrading AZ ave which was already protected but isn't anymore
