| The Wharf came after the metro was built |

sounds like something the Yellow King would say about no Yellow Line service. |

Why can't you just walk? It really isnt' that far. I used to work at 1100 4th Street SW and walk to the Wharf everyday.
Just walk. This is exactly why you are extra fluffy and not sexy anymore. |

| What was there before 2017? Why do I remember going to a DC wharf in the 80s as a child? |

Go research the tumultuous history of planning and funding the Green Line. Then think about what was there on the 1970s. A fish market, marina and massive tourist restaurants served by buses. Why would a station between L’Enfant and Waterfront (2 minutes apart) have been needed or sensible? |

Phillips Seafood Restaurant, H2 O. Those are what I remember and I’m 43. |

Couple of restaurants and the seafood barges, plus a smaller Arena Stage across the street, but it was nowhere near as big a development as it is now. |

| What? The waterfront station is a 5 minute walk. And yes, the Wharf did t exist back then. |

| Why can't they place a Yellow line station there? |

You forgot the fancy seafood restaurant Hogates, arguably the best of them all. It was around until the 00s. |

| It can be sketchy enough there. They don’t need metro. Same reason they didn’t put one in Georgetown. |

| It's like a 7 min walk from Waterfront metro station to the Wharf. Why would the Wharf need a station? Such a silly question. |

Um without a tunnel? Just a station? |
