Having the Metro go to Dulles has not worn off as such an awesome and helpful thing. Love to see so many people using it to get back into the city.

It’s too easy to complain about places (especially when you’re from there) but Connecticut’s public transit doesn’t get enough love. Just had a breeze of a journey home via the Hartford Line and CTtransit β€” easy connections & some of the friendliest transit staff ever. Thanks team!

Columbia Rd bike lane: pics & text fr @nickaddamo.bsky.social on the Elmo site. (Sorry, Nick!)

"The awesomeness of the Columbia Road redesign has exceeded my highest expectations β€” so much new dedicated space for people walking, biking, and catching the bus. Huge improvement for the neighborhood."
