DC Maryland Virginia Area Passenger Rail MTAMARC VRE WMATAMetro Re WMATA Metros latest signage effor



Hi all,

I just wanted to start a post on Metro's latest signage effort, which runs the gamut from more PIDs, electronic screens, and good old fashioned metal signage. L'Enfant Plaza is a testing ground for all of these efforts. On my most recent visit, a new PID pylon was being installed on the upper level platform so that customers can more easily see it without needing to peer so far down the platform. (I'm curious to see if it will use the old fashioned models, those we see at Silver line stations, or the latest LCD screens.) L'Enfant has also received those freestanding LCD screens on the lower level that rotate between ads, announcements, and Metro's map. Finally, I did not see this, but a recent post from the GM shows Metro's current experimentation with adding directional information to its metal signs. https://x.com/wmataGM/status/1702132776953057304?s=20 OH, I should also add that most of the stations I've used new have the bright yellow stickers in prominent locations indicating which is track 1 vs 2. I think that's a long overdue update because the stickers on the 3rd rail are often impossible to read due to grime.

Maybe it's me, but I find it very curious how much signage has been added to tell customers how to reach IAD when there is no such similar effort for DCA. Yes, I understand one is an airport newly served by Metro, but still...

No man wants to date me Lady with unique nose cries bitterly Video

A pretty lady has gone online to lament bitterly over her singlehood as she attributes the status to their unique of her nose. The lady named Ammie Sweeshy cried out over her situation since no man appears to be approaching her or making any romantic advances towards her because of her nose. She made this known in response to a question a curious netizen asked inquiring if she has a boyfriend. Ammie could be observed crying in the video because no man seems to want her or making any romantic move to sweep her off her feet. Some netizens tried consoling her as they note that she's still pretty regardless of the nose. @dawgtreyna said: "Funny enough the nose actually fits you. You are still a fine girl though." @THE FASTEST BAGGER said: "You're so beautiful, don't let what people say ruin you. I'm single in case you need a boyfriend, let me know." @Princesseron commented: "Don't worry, dear. Even those who have small noses, some don't...

Osho on Spontaneity

Osho on Spontaneity – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity Osho – Divine purity reduced to practical life means spontaneity. The spontaneous person is innocent. He has a quality that only children have, and that is the meaning of purity, innocence. He has the quality that animals have and the trees have and which man has lost. To be spontaneous means not to act out of the past, because out of the past is all cunningness, cleverness, calculation, arithmetic. When you act in the moment and it has no reference to your past, the action has a beauty, a purity – the same as a small child’s act. Whether he laughs or cries or goes into a tantrum or becomes angry, all his acts have purity – it is uncalculated. His anger is hot and not cold. The calculated anger is cold. His anger is natural, a responsiveness. He has not brooded over it, he has not planned it. He is just in the hands of nature – hence the beauty. He is surrendered to his nature; he is not trying to cont...

British victory in Falklands War might spur Argentina to build nukes CIA feared

Agency worried that Argentina's political isolation following defeat could play a role in a decision to advance its nuclear program The CIA feared that British victory in the 1982 Falklands conflict would encourage Argentina's ruling military junta to step up its efforts to construct nuclear weapons, according to a newly uncovered report. Intelligence analysts at the spy agency examining the issue of nuclear proliferation wrote in a secret report that "the Falkland Islands crisis is raising security issues for Buenos Aires that could influence Argentine attitudes towards the development of nuclear technology." The report, dated 24 April 1982, said: "A humiliation in the Falklands probably would encourage the conclusion that the possession of nuclear weapons - or merely the foreign belief that Argentina had such weapons - might have made the UK more accommodating. A major reverse for Argentina in the dispute could persuade it to proceed to build nuclear weapons....
