No more 15-mile trek from the metro. It's what I call seamless travel. I read in the paper that an Alexandria man took Metro to the open house last week and said something no one who took that ride has ever said before. In fact, it's so convenient 1,500 more people will ride Metro to National Airport every day. So, one of out every five plane passengers, now will be a train passenger, too.
Directions are easy to follow.
There are curbside phones. You can fax, FedEx and e-mail. It is an integrated infrastructure for the new information age. When National Airport was built on mud flats in the big bend of the Potomac River in 1941, the nation was going into a war and coming out of a Depression. Well, we ended the Depression, we won the war, and National Airport has made back its investment many times over.
