Bus Stop Improv
The city is breathing life more deeply today as the 30s buses returned to service this morning. We had to step over a mound of snow to get to this 36 bus on Pennsylvania Avenue as can be seen above – call it bus stop improv.

Expect to smell a lot of diesel exhaust and to hear the constant beeping of heavy machinery backing up for the next couple of days.
Well, it was fun while it lasted.
