[nagdu] Escalators

[Jessica Diaz PC]

Hello,
Agree Larry. Here in DC escalators are in every subway station. Elevators
are but half of them are just out of the way when running to catch a new
train. Time is key you know? Stairs can not be found anywhere anymore here
it seems which freaks me if the power goes out haha.

Doug, what I'm finding very interesting about this topic is how many folks
are scared of escalators and moving sidewalks! I'm not judging or anything
but I surely am suprised!
