A New Commuting Blog
I’ve actually given a name to this Tumblr blog now besides my own name. The new name represents the new use I will be giving to this space. This blog will now solely focus on commuting issues in both the Baltimore and Washington areas. I will try to focus equally on all modes of transit, even though my current commute is rail (MARC) from Baltimore to DC and then either Metro or DC Circulator...
