Anyone who’s lived in D.C. for more than a minute or two knows that appearances are important in this town, but is it reasonable to suggest that the changing face of Metro will have an impact on ridership? Also this week, a fare hike fight gradually takes shape, and another area bridge is going out of commission.

If you were one of the 500,000 or so passengers who took Metro to the Mall on Wednesday to view the fireworks, we’d love to hear about how it all went down. Especially after the show, when Metro was busing people from L’Enfant to Pentagon. We know we can count on you to be brutally honest.
