Update: “Update technical rescue Farragut West Metro station. #DCsBravest working beneath the train have confirmed this is a recovery rather than a rescue. Scene will be turned over to @MetroTransitPD and @wmata.”

Event

To celebrate DC native Haili Blassingame’s debut novel, THEY ALL FALL IN LOVE AT THE END, Lost City Books is throwing a launch party themed around messy love stories. Haili, and a crew of writers she has assembled, will read excerpts from their work, but there will also be audience participation in the form of anonymously submitting messy dating stories. It’s going to be a night of laughter, of gasps, of books, of great company. Refreshments will be available. We can’t wait to see you there!

From WMATA:

“Metro and the nation’s leading wireless carriers – AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless – today announced wireless service is now available on the entire length of the Green Line and most of the Yellow Line, following activation of the tunnel segments between Gallery Place and Branch Avenue stations.

To date, 80 of Metro’s 100 miles of tunnel track have cellular and data service available for riders to talk, text and stream. With today’s announcement, three Metro lines have complete wireless coverage: Green, Orange and Blue. The three remaining segments – the Red Line from Dupont Circle north to White Flint, the Yellow line from L’Enfant Plaza to the Potomac River portal along with the one-mile Silver Line tunnel in Tysons – are expected to be completed by June 2020.
