Why, George, whatever do you mean?  
Here in the Nations Seat (oops, Capitol) I can, if I choose, take our Modern 
(1970's) Clean (exceptionally so by New York standards) and Convienient 
(especially if you discount the four block walk from my office to the 
station, the ten minute wait for a train, the 30 minute cross town ride, and 
the mile walk from the station to our meeting hall) METRO (subway) to our 
meetings.  Surely the Good Citizens of Cleveland are not completely bereft of 
such modern amenities.....


How's that for a competition subject: Public Transportation?
