From WMATA:
“Metro is welcoming customers back to the Yellow Line on Sunday, May 7, 2023, beginning with the start of rail service at 7 a.m. The reopening will mark the completion of extensive rehabilitation work on the Yellow Line tunnel and bridge between Pentagon and L’Enfant Plaza stations.
Following eight months of construction for safety critical repairs, customers will once again have a reliable and convenient connection across the Potomac River between Virginia and DC, instead of only using the Blue Line. This will reduce travel times by as much as 15 minutes and give customers back valuable time.
Initially, trains will run every 8 minutes weekdays and every 12 minutes after 9:30 p.m. and on weekends between Huntington and Mt Vernon Square. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Recommendations for interior car detailing shops or mobile dealers? We’ve had a Toyota Corolla for seven years now, and the model we got has fabric seats which stain when even a little water is applied, so it looks ratty despite working great. I really don’t care about the exterior, but want a total refresh on the inside. Wondering where people would recommend going (or having come to us!) in the DC area…I’m flexible about near-suburbs too.”
Update from AlertDC: “Metro WMATA reports the Fire Department and Police Activity has been cleared from the Judiciary Square Station on the Red Line and train services are restored between Gallery Place & No Ma-Gallaudet.” (more…)
