Unless you were specifically invited by a Senator to ride their subway, you'd have most likely ridden the House subway, which is much more easily accessible to the plebeians.I rode one of them, not sure which one. It was many years ago when we spent an entire month in D.C. as we went sightseeing and my dad visited his college friends from Georgetown and, not sure of the name of the other one...maybe American University.
Back in my Civil Servant days I rode these "Subways" many times, and had delicious Subsidised Affordable Meals in the Senate Dinning Room.( they served a delicious Navy Bean Soup)
When one visits DC, they can book their Capitol tour through one of their senator's offices. When I did that, one of Durbin's aides gave our group a personal tour and we got the chance to ride the Senate subway from the Hart Office Building. It has no roof and the ride was very short, fast, and breezy.Unless you were specifically invited by a Senator to ride their subway, you'd have most likely ridden the House subway, which is much more easily accessible to the plebeians.
I had the famous bean soup there, too, in 1969 with two high school friends. One worked for Sen. Packwood and the other for Rep. Al Ullman (Eastern Oregon). The House had left town already, but Packwood's office had gallery tickets for the Senate, and I got to see how they ran routine bipartisan business with a 5-man crew (by not calling for a quorum).Back in my Civil Servant days I rode these "Subways" many times, and had delicious Subsidised Affordable Meals in the Senate Dinning Room.( they served a delicious Navy Bean Soup)
Those were simpler times before 911!!!
The Senate Dining Hall has some of the best food for the price they charge, in Washington DC.Back in my Civil Servant days I rode these "Subways" many times, and had delicious Subsidised Affordable Meals in the Senate Dinning Room.( they served a delicious Navy Bean Soup)
