When you walk or bike around town you get a good, current view of things that are happening–or not happening.  I shouldn't be surprised when people spout off on one of the other local social media sites about what the city should or shouldn't do–only to be told that they are already doing it because it has been in the works for years!  The absolute biggest case in point is the huge parking structure being built between Lorton Ave and Highland Ave. just south of Howard Ave.  I get it, they're sheltering-in-place, but really?  Before you put fingers to keyboard maybe you should get your mask and walk around downtown for the first time in six or eight months.

When someone tells you we should shut down Burlingame Ave. for the restaurant trade to survive, that is debatable position.  We'll get to that another time.  But when some know-nothing says we can't do that because there isn't enough parking downtown and the city should build more someday, well, ta da.  Do try to get out more.
