#Wagshals
DC people, niche snowcrete question: has anybody been in Spring Valley near AU's bldg or the Wagshals strip across from Crate and Barrel? Are there elder-friendly clear routes across Mass there? Wondering whether, if I have an Uber drop mom on one side, she'll be able to get to the other.

Honestly, no idea why it has a bar.

The key to a grocery store is to live next to Wisconsin Ave, where there is a grocery store every block between Georgetown and the NIH. I think we're within a mile of safeway, trader joes, wagshals, whole foods, wegmans, and lidl
