Is anyone else starting to feel like DC is losing its soul to glass box apartments and overpriced fast-casual chains? I miss when there were more weird indie shops and dive bars. What places still feel like “old DC” to you?

Hello, first post here. Outside sales, merchant services/card processing. I’m primarily a welder but I work 4 10-hour shifts typically then I try sales the last three days. I’ve done it long enough to where I’m confident and comfortable going to new businesses, establishing some rapport with business owners. But it seems like a lot of businesses see this as a waste of time, even adding services and cutting costs. I guess either I’m looking for advice or considering not doing this anymore.
