darn shame he can't spell "fort tottEn".
is richard layman going to be in on this? isn't he part of brookland main street? that's in ward 5, isn't it?
Little bit off topic, but in the realm of "improvement" or lack of it. The Post reports today that Metro is planning to improve the 30-line busses, but I guess the X2 didn't make the cut.
i guess if our buses led to a nice, tony area like georgetown, we'd see some improvements. sigh.
What improvements to the x2 do you want?
