Strong smells at the Wheaton station

Anyone noticed the strong piss smell near the elevator on the platform level at the Wheaton station? The smell is also near the stairs leading from the parking lot to Amherst Ave. Who do I reach out to regarding this smell to request a cleanup?

Unable to add funds to my metro card on Android

Anyone else facing this problem? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Also tried clearing data.

I am on Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra if that's relevant. The OS and the app are both up to date

Moving to Wheaton, looking for fun things to do

Hey guys, Im moving to Wheaton next week and will be living at the Encore apartments. Just for context, I don't have a car.

​What are some good, fun things to do within walking distance? I visited the mall while I was there and it seemed fine, but I have seen some people online saying it can be a bit sketchy. Is that overblown, or something to keep in mind?

​I really like walking trails, but Google Maps makes it look like there aren't any right by my building (Encore apartments). Does anyone know of any hidden paths, neighborhood cut-throughs, or good walking routes nearby that I might be missing? Are these safe?

​also speaking of safety, any general safety tips for the area? Places to avoid, and on the flip side, any absolute must-visit spots or things to do? Appreciate any advice you guys can share! I'll be living here for the next 2.5 years and would love to get more information!

Edit:

Three more things I am looking for:

  • Any place/clubs where I can play badminton? Or anyone nearby who plays badminton? Would love to join!

  • I love bakery. I currently live right next to Tous Les Jours. Are there any similar bakeries in Wheaton?

  • Huge fan of Chinese and Indian food. Any restaurant recommendations for these two cuisines? I tried the Japanese restaurant in Westfield mall and loved it, but looking for more indian and Chinese options

AVA Wheaton Review

Hey guys, I am considering moving into AVA Wheaton next month. Ideally looking for a 1 bedroom apartment. Does anyone have any experience living there? I saw some mixed reviews online but they mostly leaned towards positive. Would love to hear from a current/recent resident about what they think. Thanks!
