“Dear PoPville,
Any reports of what it’s like to fly American Eagle from #DCA right now, is it still #35X and a crowded bus?”
WMATAstuff replied: “Nope 35X is gone once and for all. They’ve been moved into the main terminal while they finish the new gate 35X terminal.”
UPDATE: Official word from the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority:
“American Airlines continues to operate several flights a day using Gate 35X. Once the new concourse, which is currently under construction, opens next year, then flights will stop operating from Gate 35X.”
From DCA:
“With the demolition and removal of office buildings and aircraft hangars that once occupied the north end of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, the palette is clearing for the construction of a New Commuter Concourse that will replace passenger movement through the infamously congested Gate 35X. Presently, six thousand passengers a day journey through 35X, boarding buses that drive them to remotely parked aircraft. When the new concourse opens in 2021, 14 gates with jetbridges will replace the busing system, and the less-than-pleasing traits of Gate 35X will be retired.” (more…)

“Located just north of Picnic Area #6 on Beach Drive NW, Miller Cabin in Rock Creek Park is the only remaining log cabin of its kind in the area. It was built by the poet Joaquin Miller in 1883 by Meridian Hill Park. The cabin was moved to its current location circa 1911 to give way to city development. Reportedly, NPS has plans to relocate the structure once again.”
