Why exaggerate though? Where are you coming from and going. Everyday the last 2 weeks? Come on Malik
 
When dudes start using weather as a basis on why there city is better than another usually that city has nothing else to offer.

Bro I live off the blue/silver line from PG to Arlington. That's no exaggeration every morning I go to work there's a warning that a train broke down or a rail cracked for the past two weeks. If Not the blue line then it's the red line. I wouldn't hype just to hype, metro is crap compared to just a few years ago.

As much as I want to call you a hype-man, I don't ride those lines. I am Orange/Green. But I still can't believe for the last 2 weeks you had delays.

I'm blue/silver my girl is blue/silver then red. Recently at least one of us has been delayed.

I will say the green is a lot better. Used to live in Hyattsville, had a lot less problems. But blue and red are straight trash.
 
Aight so since this is a thread about ATL. I'm going down there in 2 weeks, whats the best strip club?
 
the redline is asinine...the Silver Spring and Bethesda stops are ONLY 4 MILES apart, yet if a person relied on the redline to get to each point its a 45 minute ride through the city...the J route buses run but if you hit any traffic, you are ****** since East West Highway is only two lanes so that ride can be 30+ mins 

the Purple Line can't come soon enough but thats still probably a decade away 
 
Lol damn y'all dudes love to complain...if it bothers y'all that much catch a cab it's only a $8 ride

What is the Purple Line supposed to do? Where is it supposed to go?

its supposed to connect New Carrolton to Bethesda...its not a WMATA project since its only in MD, it'll be similar to the light rail lines in Baltimore

as far as purpose, I'm not that sure besides creating a link between areas, I'm guessing to help alleviate some of the md beltway side traffic stress

The Metro in DC is hot garbage. Moreso now than ever. I keep on hearing news about cars on fire. Some woman died in a car a few weeks ago from a trapped car and smoke inhalation. Plus the whole single-tracking, running every 20 minutes type deal on the weekend is an annoyance. When I lived in the area I'd rather drive in the city and suffer to find parking than Metro...

Also, even though there's the "Dulles tech corridor", that still isn't private sector focused. DLT, Carahsoft, CACI, GD, etc...that stuff is all heavily geared towards the Fed. The area is indeed a contractor hotspot and you are genuinely fooling yourself if you think its not. That doesn't mean it's something to be ashamed of. It's the same way that NYC is for Finance and LA is for Entertainment and SF is for Tech...

With that said yes the area is a hot spot for young professionals and the city has a lot to offer. It's a powerful city. History everywhere and incredibly scenic. I really enjoyed it when I lived there but I also have no regrets from moving...
 
Just going to leave this here about the Dulles Tech Corridor.

This is just one of the many areas full of tech companies in the DMV.
