Razors Edge ★ Posted August 12, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 12, 2020 ....when you stop into convenience store for water and a Mountain Dew and the only Mountain Dew they have is rows of Diet Dew! And the weird Dew versions that are orange or purple. WTF??? And, be warned, meth mouth and diet soda mouth are almost interchangeable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the clerk wasn't wearing a mask! However, if I wanted lottery tickets or tobacco related products, I was in the right place. I bet, if VA ever legalizes regular pot, this location will be one of the first places someone sets up shop! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are talking the region, better add in some Mexican snacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Mexican, but generally, well represented by our neighbors to the south. Oddly, no one has ever opened a CAnadian restaurant here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think medical marijuana is legal here, but not actually sure. So, yeah, they have irregular pot, and I don't know how, where, or why to get it.

There used to be a Mini Mart in North Bay. I told my son if we opened it and sold beer, cigarettes, lottery tickets, bait and Sudafed we could make a killing.

ChrisL Posted August 12, 2020 Share #18 Posted August 12, 2020 Anacostia used to be a pretty rough hood. I carried a .45 and didn’t like rolling through there going to Ft McNair from Ft Myer. I remember rolling up on a dead body under the 395 bridge one night. She was killed and then dumped there. Our Gate Guards at Ft McNair wore flack jackets & helmets due to the numerous drive by’s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did this ride along the Anacostia with my friend a while back and it was definitely in a state of flux with new stuff being built all along that route. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah we had been there recently as well and it has changed. Looks like a cool ride. You rode around Haines point. That section of the DC Marathon was like the boulevard of broken dreams... It’s at around mile 18 where many hit the wall anyway. No fans cheering you on, just you & your fortitude... Saw many crushed souls going around the point.

My buddy lives up in Maryland and just led me on some of the routes he tries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
