@lyft, will you ever respond to my emails about the false damage claim of $80 that your driver Yelnay accused me of! The photos clearly show old and dried stains! I had even given her 5 stars and a tip! Riders, beware of Yelnay in a Toyota Camry:

For nearly 20 years, Ellsworth Drive in Silver Spring, Maryland has been closed to cars. In that time, it's become a vibrant communal space.

To explain zoning to my family, for holiday dinner I’m gonna ask to put salads on one table, drinks on another, sides on a third table and the main dish in the living room.
