I bet the people involved felt they were entitled to the money for some reason as each dollar was taken out of meaningful maintenance, engineering, training, and upgrades.

They need to clean it up and brighten it up with much better lighting, and then look at using finishes and lighting effects to transform places that are that large in scale. I'd be thrilled to work some magic with color programmable LEDs and graphic controls. www.palindromelighting.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12218523736802157484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-81748011683703082112010-03-18T16:47:48.732-04:002010-03-18T16:47:48.732-04:00I suggested to a Metro employee (staff, not operat...I suggested to a Metro employee (staff, not operations) that they pass out a 3'x5' piece of paper to every single under 18 kid in the district as an art project, then compile by category or color, and place into rainbow-shaped stripes in each of the stations. even one stripe per station would be cute, morale-building, and celebratory! anyone else like this idea? it seems doable and inexpensive.Allisonhttp://www.twitter.com/retrocyclednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-35070080340179074862010-03-18T14:06:48.654-04:002010-03-18T14:06:48.654-04:00The tunnel under Wisconsin at the Bethesda Metro i...The tunnel under Wisconsin at the Bethesda Metro is decorated with multicolored lights. It's the same basic idea as the passage at the National Gallery, but I find it much less successful.<br /><br />I think the problem isn't just Weese's design, it's that a subway station and an art gallery are different kinds of places.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16692197247593633605noreply@blogger.com
