Amazon & Arlington a ❤️

looking forward to the price appreciation

Craker's little dive 1 bedroom is now going to be his retirement plan

Traffic will also increase...but hopefully most will just use the E-scooters

Also Long Island City is in fact in NYC in Queens and just across the East River from Manhattan...so 90 mins from my hometown

right in Ocasio-Cortez district..the irony of one the worlds largest corporations showing up in a Socialists district


I will say the opposition to amazon coming to your town is not the same as a Pro Sports stadium
a lot more money stays local and a lot more jobs
I think you do need to incentivize them with tax breaks, but the amout of taxes they will add to the coffers in just a few years in terms of employee taxes will surely make up over time...but what do I know

The Nats coming to DC was a big win naysaying be damned

Seems to me the "insiders" knew this was happening for a while.  I'll take an Alamo Drafthouse though.  Never been but I've heard good things.

I think we all knew...just not that they would split HQ2 in 2...that was a bummer and a bit bush league (or brass knuckle business)

I hear you but to start investing in a redevelopment project like that tells me some knew way in advance.

the area just south of Crystal City (potomac yards) has been in a MASSIVE redevelopment over the last decade and a metro stop is coming
so even with out Amazon...there was a lot going on right there
and it's inside the beltway about 1 mile from DC and DCA
redevelopment was going on with or without AMZ...now it's just gotten waaaay more competitive

  I have an instagram account but have never posted on IG so I don't believe so, no.

I don't get this at all...Crystal City is kind of a cool name (although we all know not a cool place in reality)....National Landing is LAME  Is Amazon pushing this name change?

[grateful]

I hope it doesn't confuse pilots hoping to touch down at DCA

apparently crystal city means something else in the Steam community

Since we're talking about Crystal's...here's my Crystal story.

Just before moving to DC, I was 30 and subletted a room in apartment where I lived with a bitchy, bossy 20something named K and a sassy 18 year old named Crystal. Crystal and I ended up, er, bonding, in part over our mutual dislike for the third roommate, and started fornicating a number of times....highlighted by us copulating on K's bed a number of times. This came to an end and I moved to DC and quickly forgot about it all. I know, my having no pics means this is just my imagination typing.

Six months later, and my new DC girlfriend is sleeping over the phone rings in the middle of the night. It's Crystal. She's joined the Army, but wanted to talk because she was lonely. I told her i had company and couldn't talk. Later, I received a letter as well. To which I never replied, but felt bad about it. I never heard from her after that. I wonder what ever happened to her. The end.

B+.  good story, but lacked a full-on kvetch or financial savings tip to earn it the title of Classic Space.  still, a good and worthwhile read.

Thanks. I sort of felt like I was logged into my Relaxer account when I was telling it....though he would have included more graphic details as well as mishaps.

I'll take an Alamo Drafthouse though.  Never been but I've heard good things.

Took our newborn to see Bohemian Rhapsody at an Alamo Drafthouse family friendly showing yesterday.  I will be qoing every Tuesday for the rest of my paternity leave....
