I think it would have given me a sense of security (no matter how false) while walking in that area after dark. Mmmm ... donuts!

Put the money into buses and trains. I went into the current “service” center across Colesville this Spring to ask about the bus route cuts. Nobody in the place and any info. A potted plant would have been more useful. All this transit rider needs is a machine to sell SmarTrip cards and I’m on my way.
