PoPville Photo Archives Caption Contest
Photo tweeted by @jvoss0712
Thanks to a reader for sending this wild photo. WTOP reported:
Riders at Metro Center were surprised to find a reportedly confused woman standing on the median between two tracks on Wednesday night, according to eyewitnesses.
Metro reports the 37-year-old woman is French, does not speak English and was trying to cross from the Shady Grove side to the Glenmont side of the tracks.
Apparently she just got confused and thankfully wasn’t injured. What a wild scene.
As always – you’re captions in the comments and winners (free PoP t-shirts) picked Friday.

They were terrified, but the angel reassured them. “Don’t be afraid!” she said. “I bring you good news that will bring great joy to the people. The escalators–yes, all of them–are now working.” This is the Good News of the Lord.
