We’re like this but for T.H.A.I. In Shirlington. We learned it was rated well for a specific food allergy and have never had a problem so they get 100% of our business

There was an excellent presentation on the rebranding at the March board meeting. I appreciated that the designer shared the rationale behind many of the choices. I highly recommend if you're a design geek. Direct link to where it starts at 1:05:35 in this video:

Generally the 2nd Wednesday of the month from September to June, at 5:30pm.

It's probably a better use of your time to start by submitting a contact form (and a better use of staff time for you to see what you can learn from the various public docs!)

Every DASH board meeting opens with public comment so if this isn’t addressed by September you’re welcome to show up to a meeting and share your thoughts with the DASH team there (IRL or zoom)

Pretty sure they’re using e-ink type displays, solar-powered. Though not sizing panels for shade. That’s a good idea!

I was going to send this to @oconnell.bsky.social but then realized that notable local pizza de-influencer @beckyhammer.bsky.social also needs to see it 🍕🍕🍕

It’s so important to understand WHY the new Senate bill has such drastic provisions to kill renewable energy

Fossil fuel industry lobbyists and Big Oil-funded activists have been ALL OVER the GOP in recent weeks, telling them that clean energy jobs are “fentanyl jobs” and “a cancer”

The Senate is about to destroy clean energy to give tax cuts to billionaires

The bill could pass within the next 24 hours.

Good time to start reminding people that the (free) DASH 34 bus goes there from Del Ray or Old Town

Sounds like they could definitely get the full Council meeting videos on YouTube if asked nicely!
