This is the glass door at the Shady Grove Metro station, exiting the parking garage and going toward the station. It's been smashed and has been held together by masking tape for months now.
This is actually an old pic, and the tape is now coming off.
A month ago, I sent this picture to the Red Line Metro manager, and below is the response.
The glass hasn't been replaced yet!
