Wikipedia Description: Metro Center (Washington Metro)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Metro Center is the central hub station of the Metrorail rapid transit system in Washington, D.C. Metro Center was one of the original Metro stations, and service began on March 27, 1976.

Metro Center is on the Blue, Orange, and Red Lines, and is a transfer station between the Red Line and the already-joined Blue and Orange Lines. It is also scheduled to be on the Silver Line route, which is scheduled to start operations in 2011.

Metro Center is located in downtown Washington, under an area roughly extending east-west from 11th to 13th Streets Northwest, and north-south from G to H Streets Northwest. Its entrances are on G Street at 11th, 12th and 13th Streets, and at the corner of 12th and F Streets. The station's only street elevator is on the west side of 12th Street north of G Street. It is the second busiest station in the Metrorail system after Union Station, averaging 30,500 passengers per weekday as of May 3, 2006.

The mezzanine (upper) level of the station contain side platforms for Red Line trains traveling towards Glenmont and towards Shady Grove. Orange Line and Blue Lines trains traveling in both directions share a center platform on the station's lower level.

A Metro sales office is located on the mezzanine level of the station on the platform for Glenmont-bound Red Line trains, near the 12th and F Street entrance. The Grand Hyatt Washington is connected to Metro Center, as is downtown's only remaining department store, Macy's. During the mid-20th Century, the area was the commercial heart of Washington, housing many department stores, theaters, offices, restaurants, and amusements. Due to a combination of the 1968 racial disturbances, the opening of new suburban malls, and concentration of new commercial building near K Street - Farragut Square, the Metro Center area declined, then later successfully revived. The Shops at National Place is an adjacent two-level dinin ...More...

2021 photos: This year was filled with hope. Yes, the COVID-19 pandemic is still with us but maybe restoring sanity to the White House. the rapid vaccine role-out, and a government that finally cared would put things back to normal again. But the force was strong in the evil anti-vaxxer movement and the virus variants made quick use of that so we're still dealing with this crap. Plus the continued impact of the attempted coup... Sigh. Trips this year: (May, October) After getting fully vaccinated, I made two trips down to Asheville, NC to visit my dad and his wife Dixie, and (mid-July) I made a quick trip up to Stockbridge, MA to see the Norman Rockwell Museum again as well as Daniel Chester French's place @ Chesterwood. Number of photos taken this year: about 283,000, slightly up from 2020 but still really low.
