I think he meant that we already can imagine it, because we’ve seen games here where we’ve been outnumbered (seemingly) by Rangers, Pens, Bruins, Red wings and even Buffalo fans over the years.

Maybe you haven't been exposed to people saying the Hurricanes should change their name. I have. I roll my eyes.

I have as well. Well not personally but I've seen it on Twitter and other media outlets.
I mean, we could have been the Ice Hogs
. Hell before the Wizards, the Bullets were considering the Sea Dogs as a name 
Maybe some things should be left alone.

I’ve lived in New Bern twenty years and never heard anything like that.

That's where I grew up, in fact. My mom was Anacostia High Class of 1967. We left in 1981 because it was just too rough.

Agree. I hope they don’t make good ice for when the highly skilled Caps come to town

He said they were an amazing group of people. He didn't say they were any good at their jobs.

Where were all these DC canes fans when I lived in DC?!

Wheres the retweet button.
Its funny moving from DC to LA. Crime is 1000x higher in DC but people ask me about “crime in Cali.”
It literally cracks me up. Compton would be a nice neighborhood in DC.
In DC breaking news is “quadruple homicide East of the River.” In LA, “extremely stoned dude racing down the freeway in South LA.”

It's a very busy bus route that goes through a mixture of neighborhoods and draws a lot of folks from the projects on H and mentally ill people from a shelter near Union Station, and attracts quite a lot of upper and middle class millennials living in the gentrified areas along the route to tweet about it. Crowding leads to confrontations as well. The times I've ridden it it's just been like any other crowded bus with an economically and racially diverse crowd.

Now, there's a long running thread on Nextdoor about where the best location for a dog park is.
Also, were you around the O street market shooting era? You'll laugh your ass off if you see what that (and the rest of Shaw) has become.

I met a tourist one time that was staying at an Air Bnb in trinidad and was asking me about the neighborhood.
He was from Arkansas and I was like dude wtf are you doing.
Ill never forget the time Trinidad had to be shutdown w police checkpoints because there were so many shootings.

Nah, I was gone in 1981. Benning Road was getting to be gangland when I left. We lived right off Pennsylvania Avenue in a comparatively nice little patch -- they call it Dupont Park now, apparently. Basically, I was fine for 2-3 blocks in any direction, but beyond that, trouble.
I was also literally the only white kid I knew, LOL.
