Over the summer I did an internship that required me to get off the train at Union Station (well, I could've gone to Capitol South, but I was trying to save money by walking the mile to Capitol Hill) and this might be the worst place for tourists on the whole Metro system. Places like Smithsonian and Archives might get more overall tourist traffic, but the people at Union Station all have suitcases and no conception of walking vs. riding the escalators. When you need to run down the escalator to get to the train before it leaves and you've got a 40 pound suitcase and a 180 pound woman and her three kids in your way, it can be frustrating.<BR/><BR/>I don't think I'll ever get tired of bitching about tourists.Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061187704203343425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-78963372070363371902007-10-11T11:58:00.000-04:002007-10-11T11:58:00.000-04:00Shyster, I think you're missing the obvious here. ...Shyster, I think you're missing the obvious here. I've lived in DC also, and there is only one solution to this problem. <BR/><BR/>Wait until the first tourist gets lost, and then calls their congressman. 2008 is an election year, and since Congress can't stick it to baseball on steriods on the whole "anti-trust" issue, what better excuse for them to salivating at the mouth about possible sanctions against MLB for violating the human rights of their constituents by not making it clear where the ballpark is?<BR/><BR/>Should be enough to get most of them re-elected.Ron Rollinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16852012772573977515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9131289420618991795.post-55130803027516264362007-10-11T10:28:00.000-04:002007-10-11T10:28:00.000-04:00as a current DC resident, i agree 972% with your c...as a current DC resident, i agree 972% with your characterization of the tourists. well done sirDudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09760399338087504752noreply@blogger.com
