Here is a little tip about WaPo. You can read the articles for free on a mobile phone. Specifically using a cookie-free browser. If you are a Google Chrome user, your visits are tracked on every device you use Google Chrome, if you are logged in to the browser. However, when I've had one article left to read on Chrome, I would launch the Safari browser on my phone and I wouldn't see that article limit message.

If you can't read a WaPo article on your computer, try it on your phone in another browser.

I'll add, WaPo subscriptions should be for free for Amazon Prime members. But I digress.

Another tip...You can just hit the Esc key on your keyboard while the WaPo page is loading to prevent further page execution which includes the tracking code. Specifically, you need to hit Esc as soon as you see the article load as it seems the rest of the page execution involves loading comments, displaying ads, and running the tracking execution code which is what redirects you from the article.

Most of you guys are government, so you can sign up for a free subscription (Google search the process). I am testament that the process works.

As for the rest of you, it's cheaper than a Netflix account, and you probably would use it more.

I just signed up on Amazon. Prime members get 6 months free. Then $3.99/month afterward. Meh. At least I get points for using my Amazon card.

The most cost effective move would be to build a new stadium on the FedEx Field site, just like the Mets did with the change from Shea to Citifield. Then Snyder should construct some kind of monorail that takes people from Morgan Avenue to the parking lot- it could run in a continuous circle.

Of course, there is no commercial activity there and that is the new paradigm. No doubt Danny watched the Stanley Cup and saw everyone hanging out downtown. A much more attractive image than that hideous pit the Skins call home (what was JKC thinking?).

So I would assume he would look at any site that has some commercial potential. The FedEx site could be used for lots of things, including housing.

I'd rather have the FBI HQ or Amazon HQ2 at the Oxon Hill farm than a stadium that will just take up space. if you are going destroy a beautiful part of the area at least do something more valuable than a stadium.

Yes, Just building a stadium will be a under utilization of valuable land, That's why I wanted to see what else can be developed with the stadium so that the area is used as per its potential,

HQ2 and FBI would be great but ......

We can add on the list, Office space for corporate Headquarter, in the list of projects that can be incorporated.
