Washington D.C. Metro- Red Line compilation
I rode the red line all the time when I lived in D.C. and I loved it so much. It was so nice to be able to read the paper or a book, listen to music or just watch people. There was no stress of trying to drive during rush hour which is insane up there.
I love that city and I miss so much about it but rush hour I don't miss. I miss the history, the food, the people and the one of a kind city that Washington D.C.
I lived in Rockville, Maryland and would either walk or ride my bike to the Metro stop. I got rid of my car after a short time in D.C. because of the convenience of the Metro and I almost never missed it.
I worked at the Wardman Park hotel while living there. It was right off the Red Line as well and easy to get onto or out of when going to or from work. What a great hotel and we had so many good times there. I love to go back and visit and I hope to someday soon again.

Voila! Violin Stolen From Sleeping Owner in New York Subway Reappears
A prized violin that was stolen while its owner snoozed on a hot subway train has been recovered.
"I'm of course overjoyed!!!," Tom Chiu, a Juilliard School graduate and founder of the avant-garde Flux Quartet, wrote Wednesday in an e-mail message about his Scarampella violin.
The violin and his backpack were stolen June 27.
Chiu said it was raining that night and he went into a hot and humid subway station after a performance and fell asleep. When he awoke, he said, his bags were gone.
Chiu, who calls his violin his "heart and soul for the last 13 years," said in a statement that the violin and the backpack and its contents were turned in to the Metropolitan Transit Authority's lost-and-found, and an MTA official contacted him late Tuesday.
The contents included a violin bow that Chiu has used since childhood.
NYC Transit did not immediately return a call seeking details about the recovery.
At the time of the theft, Chiu said the violin and bow "all have great sentimental value to me and are completely irreplaceable. I hope the person who has my violin will return it to me. I would be forever grateful."
Chiu did not say what the violin was worth.
He said it had originally belonged to his parents.
The violin was made by Stefano Scarampella, one of the most highly regarded violin makers from the early 20th century in Italy.
