Metro Exodus is the latest entry in the cult classic series of Metro games. Based on the books written by Dmitry Glukhovsky, the Metro games revolve around the lives of the inhabitants of the Russian metro. Forced to retreat underground following a nuclear apocalypse, the characters of Metro have long abandoned their dream of living on the surface.
Our protagonist, Artyom, still has hope that there is a life outside of the dark tunnels of the underground railways. He still dreams of the day where he and his friends and family can freely roam the surface, and in Exodus, his dream finally becomes a reality.
Each of the locations that Artyom visits are distinct and varied. From the deserts of the Caspian Sea, to the frozen lakes of Volga. The game is filled to the brim with interesting locations to explore and side objectives to complete.
Audio glitches are constant in Metro Exodus. The audio would absolutely go silent at times, often for a few minutes at a time. Pausing the game a bit seemed to fix it though. The chatter between the characters would often overlap. The game would also switch on and off the combat music for no reason, which was often frustrating. The characters at times would stop talking mid-sentence, even during the cutscenes.
Its amazing how you never know what path life is going to take you. I honestly never thought I would be a business owner & mom of 3. When I left California & came to DC 13 years ago I never thought I would stay. I was going to go back to school & get another job in Corporate America. But after hanging out with Andrea Paro & Fabiana Zelaya & seeing all that entrepreneurial life had to offer, GRE prep went out the window. Had I gone back to school I'd probably be A LOT richer & easing my way in the Range Rover crew. But I am loving this independent business owner space. It is a constant work in progress & I'm getting better everyday.
Dre & Fab were just the 1st of many amazing women I've meet who have chosen to take this path. I am so grateful & inspired by all the kick-ass business women I get to call friends. Today I would like to introduce you to just a few of my girls here in Bethesda. Like me these women have been on their grind for as long as I have and wow look at their success. They are brilliant in the way they approach their businesses. They are passionate about what they do & striving to really service this community. Please patronize them & keep local business women growing.

Artworks Fine Art Studio opened in September 2003. Erin Johnson, a Bethesda native, started the program when she realized there was a need for Art education in the Washington DC area. Artworks Fine Art Studio, located in McLean and Bethesda , is dedicated to teaching the fundamentals of fine art. Their programs focus is on the fundamentals of drawing and painting. Classes take place in a highly creative, instructive environment.
At Artworks, they believe that everyone has the ability to learn to draw and paint.

Fabiana has always had a passion for business. After owning three retail boutiques in Adams Morgan and Bethesda. She first realized she wanted to be a part of the real estate business after buying her first home. It was such and emotional experience for the entire family, she learned firsthand how important it is for agents to be fully committed to their clients.
