The Silver Line

We haven't been to one of our favorite lunch spots for awhile so we headed out to McLean/Tysons Corners to have lunch at Cafe Deluxe near Crate and Barrel. It gets really busy and very noisy after twelve noon so we like to get there before that time. Since we were in this neighborhood last the new silver line metro opened. We've been watching the construction over the last several years. I am not a fan of metro, even though the silver line passes right by our house at Capitol South two blocks away. Maybe it was just my imagination or the time of the day, but the traffic seemed less congested along the Dolly Madison Parkway to our destination riding alongside the tracks. It looks as though there is still a lot of digging going on for perhaps more parking spaces near the stations. I know a few people at work who prefer to still drive in because there is no place to park the car, and not easy to cross the busy traffic lanes on foot. At the Tysons station is a new office and apartment building that look almost done. Off in the distance are more cranes and more construction. Maybe one of these days we will try the silver line to Tysons? If it were up to my husband we would. Wonder what the fare is from here to there....I'm thinking the car will do just fine.
