the last couple of nights, the weather reports on one of the local stations was using a view of the trees and the gridlock as background. Sometimes the cars were actually moving, most times, not.

Right, they’re seasonal. The Caps team store was selling green jerseys for St Patrick's day. The farecards are limited editions (like the World Series and Stanley Cup ones). This town gets a lot of money from tourism; this is just one more thing.

Ash Wednesday happens all over the country, too, so how come New Orleans makes such a big deal of the day before?

Where would you put it? There's not a lot of empty space left there; none of the houses are tear downs to build an apartment building; if someone has an empty lot, it’s going to be exorbitantly expensive to buy and build on.

🤦‍♀️ Ok, if you’re really in Odenton you’re going to have a bit of a drive to a Metro station, but it will still be better than trying to drive downtown. Odenton is a MARC station, and you'd have to check and see if those trains run on Sundays. Otherwise drive to the Greenbelt Metro and take the train in from there.
