Also, C/D: Bagpipes guy outside of downtown Red Line stations. A big fat "C" from these quarters - and he's improved so much over the last few months!

Worse glue trap ever: Clearing out of a filthy group house a few years back, I checked the top kitchen cabinet and found a huge, ancient molasses spill with furry mouse skeleton embedded in it. No way Willard's dragging that around the room. I haven't had non-relationship roommates since.

the weird thing is, everyone I talk to about this just shrugs, as though, in fact, other peoples' apartments are simply crawling with vermin, and why am i so freaked out?

I guess I better not even bring up the city council and baseball and Tombot's views on that!
Back to mice and rats. Carry on.

"Let's act super pissy about baseball and smoking!!"
So all DC retail businesses, no matter the size, should pay for the increased stadium costs? I guess that's better than making the residents pay, but it's too bad Major League baseball can't pay more, and it is too bad the city, duh, never foresaw that costs would likely go up.
Based on what I have read in the Post and a City Paper cover story awhile back, the new stadium will have not one, but two levels worth of corporate club level suites (all near the infield), plus virtually the entire area behind home plate will be reserved for corporate season ticket holders. Ugh. Someone should be getting pissy about that as well, but alas, that is just the way things are done with stadiums these days.

At least our mayor didn't push push push to try and get the Olympics so he could have an excuse to demolish the U street corridor and build a new stadium for the skins, I guess.

I want to be able to breathe when I go to see bands in DC without worrying about my health, or my cleaning bills. The city needs to find a way to deal with your concerns (more retail) and mine, not to mention improving their methods of entering into contracts be they involving baseball or whatever. The city also has enormous problems with health insurance and hospitals for the poor, education, and so on, not to mention, as you noted the ongoing issue of tax-exempt university and federal property affecting the size of the tax base to address any of these issues.
There's no good answer. So how about that General Tso's chicken Pete mentioned upthread? Covered in gunk, bad for ya, but sometimes tasty...

So how are you gonna do this? Neither political party on Capitol Hill has ever cared about the residents of DC, and you are snearing at the Pentagon that, no matter your thoughts on what it does substantively, provides jobs and money for Virginia (based in part on taxpayers money from DC and everywhere).
Also, PG County in Maryland has complained for years about its retail situation. It's not competitive either. And guess what, they have smoking too.
Is not D.C.'s business situation looking up in parts of town? Or is gnetrification of the U Street area not the kind of business growth you want?
