Name Your Stop: Spurred recent efforts to rename Metro stations in Southwest and Near Southeast, media outlet, TBD asked readers to submit their own station name alternatives. An animated Google map shows that the possibilities are endless in our politically-sensitive city. Among the suggestions: "Waterfront/DDOT/1950s Urban Renewal/M St/Ft McNair/Arena Stage/Marinas/Titanic Memorial/kthxbai". Obviously most veer on the witty end of things, but transportation planners and community leaders accross the city are seriously concerned about comprimising the simplicity and clarity of the origninal approach to Metro nomenclature.
Marine Development: Many people have been keenly looking forward to what Southwest Developers PN Hoffman & Co. have in store ashore. The Washington Post profiles the "Murky Waters" for Southwest's live-aboard's.
Free-thinking on the Freeway: Longing forward to a SW without the SW Freeway? TBD weighs the odds. Also, Stay tuned for a "Point"-- "Counter Point" set of posts on BUILT Southwest DC in the near future.
