STOP THE MUTHAF'IN PRESSES
The escalator is operational, as of May 14 in the afternoon. Let's see the entrants' guesses:
Terrance - June 10
Aaron - May 29
Amanda - May 24
Chris - May 20
Matthew - May 14 in the afternoon.
And the winner, who predicted both the date and time of opening, is Matthew.
You win a drink on me, comrade. Unless you work for WMATA and set this up.

Whoa. Theoretically, since you know I'm a Judiciary Squarrior, I *could* work at Metro HQ, although, I assure you I don't. If I worked at Metro HQ, though, I'd be using the Building Museum exit from the station, and not concerning myself with such pedestrian matters as the escalator at 4th and D. Sadly, I didn't get to see the steps in action - I took my usual Friday afternoon meander around Downtown, and wound up at L'Enfant Plaza (after not being able to find Federal Center SW for some reason). Of course, you know what this means... time to replace the other one!

"Fourth Street and 'D'! Yeah!
Once you get a whiff of it, you'll never want to roam. "

This doesn't change the fact that the Silver Spring Metro escalators seem to be shut off randomly, and always when it's over 80 degrees and Silver Springers are heading to work.
