FOSTER BROTHER'S COFFEE! I knew I wasn't making it up!

I remember it existing but did it last longer than 5 minutes?

I remember whatsabagel, but wasn’t there a coffee shop there at the same time? Sometime around the early-mid 00s (fwiw I moved to DC in 03)

There was a Starbucks, and Palena, and some coffee shop in Sam's Park & Shop that also sold bagels that I forgot the name of. For some reason, they've never lasted.

Yes, that’s one company. But this argument is dumb. Point is OP can find something for less than $1800 if they are willing to give up certain amenities like in-unit laundry or a dishwasher.

Incorrect.

I rented in a 5br/2ba for $4650 in ward 3 for a while. There absolutely are studios in rent controlled buildings in the $1300-1400 range.

You can absolutely get a studio for less than $1800. It may not have the nicest amenities, but units in older buildings or basement apartments can be had for $1400ish. Also there are other places than NW.

RIP little guy.

I’ve seen it at Trader Joe’s too.

I'm bummed to have missed this (couldn't drag myself out of the warm apartment) but would love to join next time!
