Introduction My wife and I moved to Washington, DC, for many reasons, but one major reason was access to public transportation. The Metro system is one of the best in the US, and we deliberately chose an apartment within walking distance of the Red line. A few months before we moved, we took a brief trip down to DC for the Marine Corp Marathon and some apartment hunting, which gave us plenty of time to learn and appreciate the metro. When we got back, I wanted to start one last project before the move: I was inspired to bring the metro design and feeling into our space while also providing useful information about our primary transportation source, and I hoped to learn some new skills along the way.
