City govt wont make such a mandate it but potentially a private entity such as MLS/DC United could (perhaps a decision made partly based on results of the customer survey?). Of course, how such a thing could get accomplished is an entirely different thing and I suspect they dont have the desire to inflict such a thing on themselves (at least on one level I hope not) - but as a customer I do prefer it even as the libertarian side of me says no way!
Mrs. Winoman and I both will be fully vaccinated by the time this game rolls around, but since we are only partial plan (six games) holders, I expect full-season ticket holders will get the preference for attendance. That being said, they still have our money from 2020, so they do owe us something...
calculate the interest earned at current interest rates for the money over the time since you made the last payment. my guess is that it wouldn't buy you a beer. A mask should be required for entry. LAFC sent every STM enough masks for what was supposed to be an abbreviated season last year.
These are going to be my last months living in the US, I will be gone by August, I hope I will have the chance to see a couple of games before returning to Italy.
Sorry to see you leave. My wife and I are planning (hoping?) to return to Lucca in the spring of 2022. Pisa isn't far away, in fact in 2019, we hiked over the mountains from Lucca to Pisa (37km and don't ask me how that happened), so hopefully we can get together. Maybe catch a match in Pisa if the season is still going. Good luck in your travels, you will be missed.
Actually, I will get back to Venice (I spent in Pisa my first six years, then I lived 24 in Venice), my mom and my sister live there and one of my kids will attend a 1 year program at Venice university, also my father passed away last October and I have a place where to stay and live. I'll find something to do once there, it won't be easy easy but at least I will not have an immediate financial pressure.
I lived in Umbria (Perugia) for 8 years. Tuscany is one of my favorite places to visit with my family. Unfortunately my Italian isn't all that great anymore, it's hard being a trilingual these days. Anyway, safe travels back home!
Venice is one of the few places you can go and experience what night sounds must have been hundreds of years ago. No cars, motorcycles. Just voices, animal sounds and footfalls. My favorite spots in Venice are Torcello and Burano.
Cruise ships will be the death of Venice. They tower over the buildings and disgorge thousands of passengers who clog the streets.
In Torcello, at dusk, you have mosquitos as big as 747's, Torcello is beautiful till dusk, then I do not recommend it. Only 11 (ELEVEN) people living on it.
There will be very few of them - if any - in 2021, bcs of Covid. Then the current government is planning to reduce them drastically, moving a bunch of them to dock in Trieste instead (other very beatiful city). One of these ships destroyed a docked boat in 2019 (luckily nobody was killed), and a few months earlier another one almost smashed on the quay, which is something that could have resulted in an unimaginable disaster.
Pre-season starts tomorrow. This thread will be unmoored and left to drift on the currents of public engagement.
