We didn’t see a single political sign or person soliciting anywhere on or near Metro. We did see some anti-frackers, complete with signs, frizzy, unkempt hair, and Birks on Sat. pm, coming back from a protest somewhere. We were pleasantly surprised at how clean it was and how helpful everyone was.
You probably didn’t venture too far into VA, prob not beyond Arlington Cemetary stop, and with VA being a pivotal state in the presidential eleciton, it’s seeing a lot of activity. Maryland as a blue state is irrelevant. and DC doesn’t vote, so...
Glad you had a good time and that people were nice to you. DC is an extremely clean city, it’s always more noticeable to us when we come back from somewhere else.
