Me neither, I’m neither an adult nor educated. MEHOO
All well & good – subject, of course, to Metro not fumbling the ball. The Red Line in particular apparently had a hellacious time this morning.
That’s pretty much every day on the Red Line.
Poll: Would you consider Military Road an important road, and thus one in which Arlington County should/would treat?
Yes or No?
No. It’s full of old people and Arlington only values young vibrant people.
I’m young and vibrant and don’t consider Military Road important.
Zimmerman’s run FTW
they didn’t care about it this morning. going from glebe to old glebe to military was fun at 615. Still passable but fun
The County doesn’t need to treat Military Road because Washington Golf and Country Club can be accessed from Glebe Rd and the state takes care of that.
it is mostly marylanders commuting to Ballston. who cares.
Would someone plow my culdesac. Grumble.
Be careful what you wish for. *wink*
Just got a text that the ART buses are starting afternoon service early because of the early dismissals. Now that’s service.
responsive service. Thanks, Arlington
I thought Arlington used grit and not salt.
Nope, we always end up with a big pile of salt at the end of our street when the plow turns around.
In terms of APS this is not 100% correct. 2 hour early close only applies to regular full-day dismissals. For the early release schools (mostly E schools) they are being dismissed 15mins later than they would otherwise.
