I work in DC (no, I am not a federal employee), and although I will not be attending the rally, I wish all of you the best.
I can give those of you not familiar with the mall a few pointers.
1. When using the Metro, make sure you have enough on your farecard, or Smarttrip card to get you back and forth. Do this before you board the train bound for the location.
2. Make sure you have your own water, snacks, and yes, TP. There will be vendors probably, but the lines will be long. Porta Potties, ‘nuff said.
3. Bring a small towell, large bandanna. Make sure you have sunglasses, hats, etc. If you are not familiar with DC, get a map. If you need to exit at a place other than where you came in to DC, mark that.
If anyone has questions, please feel free to ask. I will check back as often as I can.
Regards,
AR
I’d stay off the green and blue lines going into Anacostia too.
