Friday Funny

    1. I know JB. The airport was planned with a station in the plans. Nearly sixty years later, so many promises have been made and there still isn't a train.

  8. It took about 50 years for Washington Dulles International Airport to be connected to the City of Washington. The airport is closer to West Virginia than it is to Washington DC.
