[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Two words-Union Station.[/b] Maybe they take a lot of trains? Something needs to be done on every level. I blame this on our City Council.[/quote]

Four words: Not under DC authority.[/quote]

And yet, the Council and Mayor could make a stink about its sorry state and demand accountability. Have they? They advocate for DC residents, don't they?[/quote]

If the DC Council and the mayor created lasting peace in the world, you would still be complaining about them on DCUM.[/quote]

Oh, have they gone and stood on the heads of the authorities in charge of Union Station? How about stand in front of it until someone who is in charge does something? Aren't they supposed to represent the good of the people of DC? If not, have at it Congressional takeover.
I remember when US was a nice place. I met a friend there two weeks ago who wanted to buy some of the amazing canolis to take back to NY (remember those?). I do. We went downstairs to see if the Italian bakery was still there. Of course, pretty much all the food venues are now closed in this depressing wreck. Lasting peace. Fat chance. They can't even keep a food court solvent.[/quote]

So you didn't look up online if a random bakery was still open and that's your issue with US? There is a full food court downstairs, and the same vendors on the train level as you would find at penn station. More than you can find at 30th st in Philly. [/quote]

You are kidding yourself if you think Union Station isn't a pale shadow of itself just ten years ago. Why should I have to look online to find a bakery that even out of towners look forward to? I have every expectation of finding Shakespeare and Co in Paris, or Cafe du Monde in New Orleans. [b]Even Starbucks[/b] ditched Union Station last year due to safety concerns. Why aren't our politicians standing up to the operators of the stations? Do you think maybe DC policies passed by our Council have contributed to the crime and homeless issues that have caused these vendors to flee? Or the bigger question-why on earth are you painting Union Station 2023 as a rosy little place? It was, but now it sure isn't.[/quote]
