What's in a Name? Silver Line Edition

The Metro to Dulles project, better known as the silver line is ahead of schedule. As more concrete is poured, naming the stations becomes more important.

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has given its suggested names for all eight stations leading up to the airport, but Metro wants to give the public some input.
