I got people in Rainier. I’m sick of Maryland lowkey but there and Hyattsville is prolly the closest you’ll get to the best of both worlds. Plus it’s hella 20-30 somethings so it’s more inviting imo.
That new apartment on Rhode Island looked dope me and my girl moving and we trying to find something affordable but less hood

Damn the Rona done tore them National Harbor hotels up.

https://www.bizjournals.com/washing...aylord-national-files-huge-layoff-notice.html

The Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor filed a layoff notice June 15 affecting its 2,077 employees as the coronavirus pandemic continues to pummel the hospitality industry.

The Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) filed with the Maryland Department of Labor lists an effective date of March 11. The Gaylord, Greater Washington's largest hotel at 1,996 rooms, has been closed since March 24, when the owner of all seven Gaylord resort properties across the country suspended operations.

Ryman Hospitality Properties (NYSE: RHP), which owns the Gaylord hotels, said recently that it was targeting a late July reopening for the Maryland hotel, which is located in Prince George's County. We've reached out to Ryman for more information on whether that target reopening date has changed and will update this post when we hear back.

Regarding the layoffs, a spokeswoman for Ryman referred questions to Marriott International Inc. (NASDAQ: MAR), which owns the Gaylord brand and operates the hotel. A Marriott spokesperson said in an emailed statement the company could not comment on a specific property, but added: "Due to widespread travel and social distancing restrictions, we have experienced significant drops in customer demand. Hotels are adjusting operations accordingly, which has impacted employment, resulting in staffing reductions, temporary leaves, and in some cases, termination notices."

Layoffs and furloughs have been rampant throughout the hospitality industry since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, from hotel-level employees to thousands in the corporate offices, including at Marriott and McLean hotelier Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc. (NYSE: HLT).

Convention hotels may be some of the hardest hit, as large gatherings such as conventions may be some of the last activities to resume as the country moves out of the pandemic.


The Gaylord is the latest in National Harbor to file WARN for employees. MGM National Harbor and the Westin Washington National Harbor have both filed notices. And another Marriott-operated property owned by Ryman in the neighborhood also recently filed one: the AC Hotel by Marriott, just two blocks away from the Gaylord, filed a notice June 15 affecting 54 employees

Whole damn Gaylord hotel staff done got laid off.:mjcry:
