No shade or sarcasm meant. Honest question.

What has Talisha Searcy done for Takoma Park?

I'm curious about her record.

The 7/11 at Piney Branch Road and Flower Avenue frequently has many empty shelves.

Someone suggested that they are frequently robbed.

I also thought poor management resulted in them running out of things long before they are restocked.

Anyone know what the deal is?

I have seen a man walking his dog off-leash (also no collar) a number of times as I walk my child to school. Today I said to him (politely) “hey man your dog needs to be on a leash” - his response was “he is, my voice is a leash.” This seems… insane? My concern is my child but shouldn’t dog owners be worried their dog will spook and run away or into traffic? Leash laws are not oppressive…. Am I missing something? Any tips to discourage this antisocial behavior?

I’m trying to remember an amazing restaurant I used to go to when I lived in Greenbelt, Md. I was going there during the pandemic 2020 or 2021 before October. I think it was in Takoma Park, but I could be wrong.. It was mostly carryout, and very simple inside but they did have a few tables for eating. There were no servers. I think it was Peruvian. It’s on a large street that mostly had houses. (maybe a boulevard) It’s one story cinderblock, I think it’s painted bright orange. Not in a strip mall, it was its own building.

I want to go back so bad. There was a creamy fish entree that blew my mind it was so good.

Thanks!

My kids can't sleep! Shut that guy up STAT

Hi! I’m seeking a good word-of-mouth referral for a really good / fair property management company to help me rent out and manage my condo in Takoma Park. Could you share any companies that you have worked with and trust? Thank you so much!

Polyphemus’s garden underneath the Aspen Street bridge has been restored. Original installed 3 yrs ago, it’s been through some things. https://youtu.be/PrXY6bPx7o4?si=AbhpjqgatPRXHnvL

UPDATE: THIS HAS BEEN LOCATED!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! I just finished it this morning. if you see wearing it around town don't confront me for stealing haha 😂

Throwaway account because this is very identifying lol...

A few nights ago, I accidentally left my car unlocked. It seems that someone took my knitting bag. I think they probably just saw "bag" and grabbed it, hoping it might contain valuables. Anyhow, in my knitting bag was a sweater I've been working on for eight months and was a few rows away from finishing. I wish I had taken more photos, but I posted the only one I have below (I knit a whole other sleeve after taking it).

I know this is a LONG shot, but I think there's a chance that whoever took it might've just dumped it somewhere when they realized what they snagged. Obviously I'm super bummed (so many people have been cheering me on and waiting for me to finally finish the sweater and wear it). If you see a tan tote bag of yarn/almost finished sweater in a weird place, please take it and contact me. Thanks!

P.S. Please, please do not comment with security advice I will obviously obsessively check my car from now on. I was flustered, trying to come inside with a lot of stuff and my dog and I was tired and I forgot. When my car has been broken into in the past, people normally leave bulky objects like jackets, towels, and sleeping bags so I didn't except this to be a target. THANKS!

My girlfriend and I came across a flyer for a mini golden doodle for sale. We weren't interested in getting another dog, but the flyer seemed strange so we called the number on it to get more info.

We come to find out the dog was not in a good situation, so we bought the dog to ensure it finds a loving, stable and safe situation.

We cannot keep the dog due to the demands from our current dog and our work schedule. This mini golden doodle, named noodle, is 17 pounds and 2 years old. She has her shots but still needs to be spaded.

We live in the DuPont circle area and would need to meet in person with anyone interested. We are not selling the dog. We will not accept any money. We just want to be as sure as possible that she will have a loving home. Please message me if you are interested so we can exchange phone numbers. I'm happy to discuss any questions you have. We have tried coordinating with rescue organizations, but getting a solution within an acceptable timeframe is challenging.

This subreddit is for links and discussion relating to the nuclear-free city of Takoma Park, MD, the adjacent neighborhood of Takoma, DC, and nearby areas.

Takoma Park was founded in 1883 as an early suburb of Washington, DC. It was home of the Adventist Church for most of the 20th century...and also came to be known for its music/arts scene and liberal politics. Residents vigorously protested planned freeways in the 1960s, declared the city a "Nuclear-Free Zone" in the early 1980s, and opened voting in city elections to 16-year-olds in 2013 (first in the US!)
