Yeah, made the commute home miserable yesterday. Those on the smoking train seemed to have a worse commute I suppose.

Yep. And it's almost always empty.

All the while Metro continues to decrease rides on the Blue line.

Oh I know. I'm not worried in the least. Just felt like saying that.

I've never been impressed with DC Metro when comparing with the London underground, Chicago L and NYC subway.

I feel like the waits were outrageous.

Regardless, I have a lot of friends in DC and hate to see this happen.

Unless something changes, end of April.

I had to go for work this past September, liked it so much the wife and I decided to go for fun. I stayed at the Residence Inn in Rosslyn last time. Not technically DC, but close enough haven't made a final decision on where we'll stay this go round. I liked that location, but don't know any better.
