“Dear PoPville,
I’m hoping to reconnect with a missed connection from yesterday evening.
I boarded the Metro at Farragut West around 5:45–6:00 pm, heading toward Franconia–Springfield on the Blue Line, when the conductor announced that everyone had to exit at Arlington Cemetery.
As we all got off, I struck up a conversation with a man next to me — very tall (around 6’3–6’5), bearded, wearing
a green pleated jacket, and reading a book before the announcement. He looked late 20s to early 30s and had the build of a football player. We chatted briefly about the situation, and he mentioned it was the first time he had ever experienced something like this.
When we were told to switch platforms, the crowd slowly swayed side to side. I suggested we move toward the end of the platform, and he kindly said, “I can be your eyesight,” letting me know both ends were completely packed — which made me laugh.
Then, after another announcement telling us to return to the original platform, I lost sight of him in the shuffle.
If he would like to keep talking to the brunette with blonde highlights, Latina, in a black coat, who briefly relied on his height and eyesight — I’d love to hear from him. ☺️
Hoping this finds him!”
