RSS FeedGallery Place Metro Station and Advertisements
The Washington Post has been covering the excitement related to tunnel advertisements on the Metro. There are two different tunnel ads on the Red line between Metro Center & Gallery Place and Gallery Place & Judiciary Square (both while traveling in direction of Glenmont). GPLiving has yet to see one of these ads, despite traveling between these stops daily.. This is probably due to the habitual “staring at the floor” most riders adopt while riding in the tunnels. Until now, it just wasn’t normal to stare out the window into the darkness of the tunnel unless you want to look at the reflections of people in your window. Again, creepy behavior.
The second part of the Washington Post article states that the Gallery Place Station will be one of the likely recipients of the much hyped “electronic message boards” posted outside of the station. Metro officials hope to have the message boards in place by September.

SO glad the Gallery Place station will be one with the new outside signs. It’s one of the few sites where one could reasonably find a bus or cab to take if the subway’s running late. And the station entrances on 7th Street are a ways from the actual station underground.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Yey – I finally observed one ad on the Metro between Gallery Place and Judiciary Square. Is it me, or can you only see the ad outside the window directly in front of you? I was expecting to see a long line of ‘frames’ in the tunnel, but it seems like they are baffled so you can’t see them from an angle. The ad I observed was on the left side of the train and it only lasted for about 1/2 the time the train was in the tunnel.
