[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the same reason that Georgetown doesn't have a stop [/quote] Well no not really. There is a Metro line that runs just south of Georgetown so in the case of Georgetown it was at least an option. There is no Metro line anywhere close to Potomac, MD - [b]the Red Line is maybe 10 miles away[/b]? In any case while it is true that there was some opposition to a Metro stop in Georgetown it also didn't make a lot of sense at the time as Georgetown just wasn't much of a destination in the mid 1960's when Metro was being planned and the geology is also really tough there for a station so for a couple of reasons the planners didn't really spend much time considering it.[/quote] It depends on how you define Potomac. From Churchill H.S. to White Flint/North Bethesda Metro, it's about 3.0 miles in a straight line.[/quote]
