21. "Metro Research Services is one of our most valued resources for focus group recruiting and data collection. I am always
confident that each job, no matter how challenging, will meet our specifications and be a success."
TERRY S. BRISBANE, Vice President Alan Newman Research
"The Motley Fool operates one of the world's busiest personal finance web sites, www.Fool.com, and provides millions of
customers with financial services that educate, amuse and enrich. A large part of The Motley Fool's success is due to an
aggressive usability testing program. The Motley Fool relies on Metro Research Services to recruit a pool of carefully-
screened usability test subjects every two weeks. Test after test, Metro delivers an accurately screened subject pool.
Without such a high-quality subject pool, we simply could not trust our usability test results. This makes Metro Research a
key contributor to the quality of The Motley Fool."
ERIC BURNETTE, Usability Fool, Formerly of The Motley Fool, Inc.
"During the past several years, I have had the pleasure of working with Metro Research Services on multiple qualitative and
large group interview research projects. Their attention to detail, quality recruiting, and client service are second to none. We
consider Metro a part of our team and I highly recommend them!"
REX REPASS, R.L. Repass & Partners, Inc.
“Even with accelerated scheduling, the recruiting prepared by Metro Research Services has always yielded us diverse and
extremely qualified respondents. I have also enjoyed working with Angela, Laura and the hosting staff before and after the
focus group sessions. I plan on using Metro again and again and I highly recommend them to others.”
LINDA RAY, Qualitative Research Consultant, Inova Health System
"Impeccable recruiting, responsive staff, and proactive services reflect a positive, can-do attitude and commitment to
excellence. A top research facility embodying the professionalism that research consultants seek... a masterful partner."
BARBARA ROSENTHAL, Rosenthal Qualitative Research
"Over the more than twenty years I have worked with Metro Research, I have always found their work to be exceptional and
the quality is always terrific. I know when I work with Metro that I don't have to worry about anything."
CHRISTOPHER BONNEY, Bonney & Company
"When time and dollars weigh equally, I need a field service that will run with a job, require no hand holding, and produce
optimal results. In terms of recruiting, Metro Research Services has come through with flying colors -- taking the pressure off
me and producing a 95 percent show rate. Add to that the consistent low bid, and I can't ask for more."

The famous red phone that’s depicted in the movies isn’t actually in the Oval Office. It’s in the Pentagon.
The word “lobbyist” became popular with President Ulysses S. Grant’s
disdain for the interest groups who bothered him while he relaxed in
the Willard Hotel’s lobby.
While the famous people you associate in DC may be politicians, it’s also the hometown of famous
musicians like Duke Ellington, John Phillips Sousa, Roberta Flack and Chuck Brown.
Just as the Supreme Court didn’t get a permanent home until 1932, the
government didn’t provide an official residence for the Vice President until 1974.
There are no skyscrapers in DC. Many believe that this is due to a law saying that the Capitol was to
be the tallest in the city. In fact, the fire department put limits on building heights in 1894 because their
firefighting equipment wouldn’t reach high enough to keep tall buildings safe.
Congress later set limits on the heights of buildings in DC: 90 feet for homes and apartments and 110 feet for office buildings. In 1989,
the Height of Buildings Act was passed, ensuring that the city skyline wouldn’t be dominated by skyscrapers.
Nationals Park is on track to be the first “green-certified”
baseball stadium in the country.
