There are a ton of stores around the beltway as well. We're one of the most avid cities in the world for the Legacy format for example. I only play competitively so I don't know much about casual nights, but I've seen commander players every Wednesday at Levelup in Glen Burnie, and I assume most stores have at least one commander night, in case your closest store doesn't fit your schedule.

You a collector? I have my childhood collection to sell and I've had trouble finding local collectors.

At the risk of blowing up my apparently secret spot: Café Los Sueños has great drinks, beans, and stocks Oven Bird baked goods.

First I should say that as long as the person in the opposite lane of the road I'm turning onto stops at their stop line, I have no trouble making the turns in my personal vehicle. To your question about busses, the right turn from 29th onto Remington has a corner radius ~5' and an effective turning radius, including the use of the southbound lane, at ~15.' Busses apparently need 21.5' or more inside turning radius, implying these intersections were designed for busses to drive over the pylons when turning. An interesting note is that at 15' radius and the minimum given side friction factor, I get 8.5mph as the design speed for that turn.

I guess, if those pylons at R House were rigid, a lot of busses and trucks I've seen would be totalled.

The flex posts are not rigid because busses and other long vehicles need to be able to run them over.

I would love to see more paint and fewer pylons for narrowing streets.
