What I Have Learned about my Neighborhood while Unemployed


1. Whole Foods is surprisingly crowded at 2:30pm on a Wednesday.

2. The scraped part of Reno Rd (as they prepare to resurface it) really sucks for bike riding. It feels like a washboard.

3. They do no allow bikes in the Tenleytown Post Office.

4. If you attempt to wheel your bike into the Tenley Post Office, you will be quickly rebuked.

5. They will still help you mail a package to Germany; no hard feelings.

6. The ads/flyers that get placed semi-monthly on my car windshield, underneath the wiper arm, and which flap flaccidly yet with an annoying staccato in the wind as I drive around, are not placed there by evil gremlins as previously assumed.

7. It rains a lot. Intermittently all day, every day in the DC springtime. This is not readily apparent when you sit in a windowless cubicle for 9 hours a day.
