“As many people who work in Washington, D.C. can tell
you, the federal government’s taste in architecture has a special proclivity
for underground tunnels. District residents navigate the tubes like human
submarines, and rely on their services for basic needs like drinking water and
central heat. Contributing factors include the city’s unique building
height limit, extreme weather, and the security considerations of recent
decades. As a result, Washington sits atop an interconnected layer cake of
transportation, utility, and pedestrian tunnels extending three dimensionally
beneath city streets. Given their importance to daily life in the
nation’s capital, it’s surprising to find that the full picture of Washington’s
various tunnels remains unpainted. This project aims to complete that picture.
Tunnels in Washington run the gamut: from mundane to
idiosyncratic, from heavily trafficked to the little known. Some tunnels are
cavernous. WMATA’s standard issue 600-foot long Metro station could easily fit
the Washington Monument laid down on its side, and anyone with a SmarTrip card
is allowed to walk in. Others are claustrophobic, with searing temperatures and
unbearable smells. Access to the General Service Administration’s steam
tunnels, for example, is limited to a small gang of maintenance men and law
enforcement officers. While many of the city’s tunnels are physically closed
off to the public, you can now digitally explore the twisting underground
architecture paid for with public tax dollars. (Exploring tunnels in person
can be hazardous and illegal, don’t try it.)

It takes two | About Last Night.
I’m as eager for Mrs. T to return home as she is, but so long as she’s in the hospital, there’s nowhere else I want to be. It took us long enough to find one another, and now that we’re together, our plan is to spend as much time together as we can, even if I have to eat hospital food, watch movies with commercials, and drive through blizzards. As far as I’m concerned, when it comes to happiness, it takes two.
