I have never seen any writings stating opposition from Georgetown residents to an alignments through their community in any of the documents that evolved into the 106 mile metrorail system. I have never seen nor has anybody ever referred me to a newspaper story from that era that specifically stated that Georgetown didn't want metrorail in their community.As a teenager in the 1970 I spent a lot of time in the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library on G Street NW in Washington DC looking at microfilm back issues of the Washington Post and Washington Star. At no time did I ever see an article about opposition from Georgetown residents to a metrorail alignment through their community. Until some one can put concrete evidence it in front of me that definitively proves that there was opposition from Georgetown residents, the "Georgetown didn't want metrorail through their community" claim will remain a myth and urban legend to me. And as Oren has stated twice you should read The Great Society Subway by Zachary Schrag. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
