America- the Sewer

OK, Not Everywhere.

Most of it is all that spacious sky stuff, ever waving grain, and purple mountain magesty (like Cezanne didn't paint a few purple mountains in Aix-En-Provence)- I digress.
Why call it a sewer--seems rather harsh doesn't it?
Well look at the Moscow Underground. Here I give Google another plug. Google it. (My cousin by marriage Mark Duvall works there so I promote googling every chance I have.)
The Moscow Underground makes the DC subway system look like a sewer. And we do have our fair share of rats. When you thought that the machine ate your money and didn't credit your metro card? Guess what- the rat in the machine did. Make them open the machine.

Why can't we have real art in the Metro? Seems a fantastic place with lots of space to make REAL GALLERIES in it? Local Artists or Artists from any and everywhere. Put art in plexiglass locked boxes to keep the thieves from walking off with it. Real Art. Just imagine it.
It is the nation's capital people. Why not? You rather see Verizon ads everywhere you look?
or that lame promotion for the Bethesda shopping street (they have like one.)
Dear Mayor Gray and the DC Council on Arts and Humanities. Please Put Real Art in the Metro. Like they have in Moscow.
