I could cope with the cold, but it looks so grey and gloomy outside.

It depends where. Crime is my biggest complaint, and crime is definitely out in the suburbs as well as the city. Not as bad, but still there. Read The Washington Post and see the crime.

I have lived in DC off and on for the past 50 or so years. I hope to be out of DC this spring, and I'll never come back. The crime is crazy here. I was recently robbed at knifepoint in broad daylight at my front door. There is plenty to complain about here. Gun violence is off the charts. Others terrorize drivers and walkers alike with dirt bikes, and the police have been told not to pursue them. And it's written off to DC culture. The culture of DC stinks.

I’ll stick with Nu Vegan Cafe.

Friendship Hospital for Animals in Tenleytown. That facility has specialists.

Thank you for the info, Klub! I’m a vegan and appreciate your comment.

In their weird little minds, this is their actual work.

Sounds like the lunatics have completely taken over.

Preserving my life by driving my car is cheaper than a huge medical bill.

And a police officer on every Metro car and bus.

Poor baby. He just wanted to be free. I hate zoos.
