For those of you who plan to get a covid test at this CityMD location, here's what my experience was like:

After seeing a very long line down the block during the daytime, I decided, hey, let me get there 30mins before they open and I'll be among the first in line. Little did I know, everyone else decided to get there an hour or more before they opened.

I arrived at 8:30am on a Saturday. They opened at 9am. I walked through their front door at 10:32am.
If you see the line is just past Dunkin Donuts, expect to be waiting in line for 1 hr and 30min.

When I finally entered, I checked in at a self check kiosk which took 6 or 7 minutes and sat in the waiting room. The waiting room seats are wiped down regularly, so it's very clean and I felt very safe.
At 10:42am I was called into an exam room. A rapid test was done by Kate, who was super friendly and had a very good vibe about her. I didn't feel like I couldn't ask questions or was stupid to ask questions. She was very nice.

I checked out at 10:50am and received an email with my results by 11:09am!

TLDR getting a covid test is quick and easy here and staff is extremely pleasant, but be prepared to wait 1hr 30 min outside in the cold.

I'd knock off a star for having to wait for what feels like an eternity outside in the cold, but it really isn't their fault. :)
