I was looking for MARC ticket sales (fantasizing a reality where I could buy the ticket online and print it but alas, MARC is not missiontix) and found the following interesting gems:

MARC/ Commuter Bus Public Hearing, Rockville, MD Monday, November 17, 2008 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM Council Office Building Ground Level Auditorium 100 Maryland Avenue Rockville, MD 20852 ...

Attention MARC Commuters: There was an error on the flyer's in reference to the Martinsburg hearing date. The hearing date for Martinsburg is November 24, 2008 from 6:00pm-8:30pm. We apologize for this error.

The scheduled meeting in Rockville with the wrong address is tonight and I hope you make it to the correct location. Given MTA's hearing last week in Baltimore was held in an inaccessible building and there are two corrections for MARC hearings regarding the cuts in service, I'm feeling suspicious. (I am, however, severely undercaffeinated. It's just really inconvenient.)

The lesson here is to check www.mtamaryland.com before heading to your local meeting. Make sure the information hasn't changed.
