Union Station
The metro station is safe. The rest of the place is filled with homeless people walking around without any pants. Don't even think about using the bathrooms.
Potbelly
Inconsistent—some of the staff were very friendly, but the woman taking orders ignored my first attempts to get her attention, spoke impolitely, and refused to make eye contact. What’s more, I came here within half an hour of opening time all the tables were absolutely filthy. They definitely had not been cleaned since the previous day, or maybe longer ago.
The Vale
LOUD BUILDING!!! Avoid if you value your sanity.
It pains me to have to write this review, because The Vale is phenomenal in many respects, but my time living here has been a living hell. As I am writing this review, I am sitting in the lobby of the building having been forced from my apartment for the third night this week by loud music coming from down the hallway and through the walls. And when I say loud, I mean LOUD. The music starts off quietly, but continues for hours and progressively gets so loud it can be heard on the floors both above and below us. You can view the video recording I uploaded for a taste of what it is like living here. The day I recorded that video was a Friday (I was at home because I am a student), and the music continued at this volume for over twelve hours—from roughly 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. Please try to take a moment to imagine what that was like for me. Please also take a moment to imagine what my life is like without late nights, weekends, or early mornings. At those times, my apartment is basically unlivable.
When this person plays her music, no sounds really make it through the walls except for the din of the bass. It is a high-volume thrumming sound that echoes throughout my entire apartment, shaking and rattling the furniture, including the chairs, sofa, and bed. The vibrations also travel through the floor and through my entire body, causing my heart to race and making me deeply uncomfortable. It is impossible to sleep while the music is going because my bed is swaying back and forth as if there is airplane turbulence. Last night, I lost several hours of sleep because the music was playing past midnight, and this morning it started right up again as I was eating my breakfast at 8:00 AM. This was not unusual. In fact, these days, it seems more normal than not for me to lose sleep or be forced to vacate my apartment, surrendering my time to a person with seemingly no respect for others, and who told us that if we didn’t like her music, we should “Go buy a house.” This is who you will be neighbors with if you move here.
Because I live at The Vale, I am forced to live a miserable, unhealthy, and sleep-deprived existence, completely at the mercy of this woman down the hall. I have complained to the front desk numerous times about this person, and each time they have said they will speak with her but I have never seen them follow through. If the management wants to continue attracting tenants, they should prioritize enforcing community norms, or else what was once a nice building will continue to deteriorate.

Francis Scott Key Memorial
This is a small but beautiful park. However, I've noticed several mentally ill homeless people live around its vicinity. I've seen them shout at and harass passerby on multiple occasions. Difficult to enjoy the park's beauty in peace!

Lau's computers are always dysfunctional and its printers are always malfunctioning. Poor customer service.
