ART ALONG THE METROPOLITAN BRANCH TRAIL

The Metropolitan Branch Trail is a stretch of path which skirts the Metro train line from Silver Spring, Maryland to Union Station in the District of Columbia, used by cyclists and pedestrians alike. For the past four years, a portion of the trail has also been the canvas for artists of Pow! Wow! DC. This year, the tradition continues with some beautiful work going up this week.
