This interesting article ran in the Style (why?) section of the Washington Post on Thursday. You can read it at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/07/AR2010070704684.html (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/07/AR2010070704684.html).

That was a great article. The style of writing lent it to the pages of the Style section and that allowed it to have much more life than it would elsewhere. Still, I enjoyed reading it. Thanks for the link.

Great article as well! :) It's great they have someone down there to help people out. Is there really no bus lot for buses to park in DC? What do the drivers generally do then? I know we have one in Philadelphia (you can see it while riding the EL)...it sure helps to get the buses off of the streets.

There are a few places drivers can stick a bus...I'm surprised that RFK Stadium doesn't get more use for such a thing though. It's not....*too* far from downtown.
