Why no metro stop at The Wharf?

Hogates had some kind of bun or roll people used to love.

Time is a flat circle.

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

Land near the water tends to be less stable and less able to support giant heavy trains.

I kind of do too. My dad loved getting crabs. Had to have been between 75 & 85. Was little.

There was stuff there in the 80’s but wasn’t called The Wharf like now, I seem to remember just calling it the ‘fish market’ or ‘Maine avenue’ back then and people knew what meant.
Jessie Taylor seafood and some other vendors are still there, and that area was bigger with more vendors like that so I recall it all looked like that section but just expanded. Then as mentioned down the street where the new stuff is was 2 big restaurants Philips and Hogates.

Flagship and Hogates had amazing rum buns. I’ve seen copycat recipes online.

The wharf was always there. It was there in the 80's when I would go down and party at Hogates. It was there when I would go and eat that nasty Phillips. It was there when I would go and get fresh fish from the vendors. It was skeezy around there at the time, but the wharf was there. The green line did not come until the 90's and at that time, few people exited the navy yard stop. It and the waterfront exits were desolate.

The wharf was there before the metro was built. It just wasn't built up with all the new condos and stores.

When Clydes of Georgetown first opened, they copied it. Was good, but not AS good.

Tell me you haven’t lived in DC for that long without telling me.

Just walk. This is exactly why you are extra fluffy and not sexy anymore.

It’s pretty dangerous to walk around there at night. I know multiple people who have been mugged and badly beaten. I used to live in SW.

Their magic wands are in the repair shop.

Even cheaper - leave it where it is and rename it “Wharf”
