I usually exit the Metro a few stops later, but made a point to get off at Gallery Place/Chinatown this morning and walk to work from there. There's still an electricity in the air; you really can almost feel it. I was taking a few pics of the Cup banner and some other posters on Cap One Arena, and in that short time I had three people walk past/come up like, "This is SO exciting!" (As they snapped away themselves.
)
There's like, I dunno, a spring in everyone's step this morning. Folks are definitely turned up, smiling, greeting you, the whole nine. It's fun and unnerving at the same time.
BTW, I bet this guy was somewhere literally having this very reaction last night (as were a lot of DMVers, to be fair)...
