DC Traffic Alert

If you're thinking of driving around the DC suburbs tonight... don't. The Washington Redskins kick off about 8:40 at FedEx Field in Landover, and the beltway will be jammed with the usual pre-game crowd during the height of rush hour. Even on Saturdays, game-related delays extend the full 60+ mile stretch of the loops, and turn 295/Anacostia freeway into a parking lot. My recommendation is to take East Capital/Central Avenue.

On the opposite side, Obama is holding his closing rally tonight in Manassas, except the usual expedient (hahaha I made a funny) ride out of town on 66W to be especially mind numbing. It's been suggested you add 2 hours if you're headed to Prince William - good luck.

With 40,000 going to Manassas and 90,000+ at Fedex, it's a rare day I'm happy I metro.
