Washington D.C.'s rail transit system (Metro) still observes the blueness of
Sundays in half-hearted fashion, as its hours of operation show:
	Monday-Friday	6:00 a.m. until midnight
	Saturday	8:00 a.m. until midnight
	Sunday		10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.
When the rail system originally opened in 1976, there was no Sunday operation.

As to how the Sunday opening time was selected, two facts may or may not be
relevant:  at the time the decision was made, a prominent Washington D.C.
clergy member served on the board that made the decision; the clergy member's
services began at 11:00 a.m.

Meanwhile, out in Los Angeles. . .does Giant Felix Chevrolet still hold to
its "No Sunday selling" policy?
