From WMATA:
“Metro will begin major work this weekend to repair the aerial structures outside Stadium-Armory where the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines intersect. The elevated structures are showing signs of aging after decades of wear and exposure and will undergo repairs during five weekend closures through the end of the year. Work will take place over four weekends between Saturday, Oct. 14 and Sunday, Nov. 12, with an additional weekend closure in December.
Metro has more than 150 elevated structures supporting nearly 20 miles of track, some now nearly 50 years old. The stretch between Stadium-Armory and Minnesota Ave/Benning Road is one of 11 bridges and aerial structures identified by Metro in significant need of rehabilitation and repair.
To accomplish this work, buses will replace trains between Eastern Market and Minnesota Ave/Benning Road, Saturday and Sunday Oct. 14 – 15, continuing the following weekend Oct. 21 – 22. Crews will return to the same location in December. The work will move to the Blue and Silver lines only, between Stadium-Armory and Addison Road the weekends of Nov. 4-5 and Nov. 11- 12.

From an email:
“Greetings, darling denizens of the District. I bear exhilarating news that will send a shiver down your spine, beckoning you into a realm of mysterious transformation. As October whispers its chilling breath upon us, Electric Cool-Aid is slipping into something a little more… shadowy, becoming the irresistibly spooky Electric Ghoul-Aid. Think island shrouded, not in warm embrace, but in spectral hauntings, where each tiki torch flickers with ethereal light. Don your most outrageous ensemble and journey to the heart of spectral revelry — the Legend of the Hidden Slushie, if you will. (more…)
