admittedly, this says less about d.c. And more about the choice of metro. Had 
it been at say, Dupont, instead of L'enfant (which is known for being the exit 
for most govt employees who aren't necessarily interested in being late for 
work) he would have earned considerably more, I think.

famous violinist joshua bell played for 45 minutes at a DC metro
station. he earned $32, and less than a dozen out of 1000+ people who
passed by even noticed (though all children who passed tried to stop and
were dragged away by their parents). all on video with a nice washington
post story.
