After having dinner with a friend Thursday night, I realized as I reached my second-to-last Metro stop that I had left my bag at our table. Panicked, I jumped off the train and phoned the restaurant to see if my bag was still there. Thankfully, it was. As I rode the escalator to the top of the Dupont Circle exit to hail a cab, I heard a man repeatedly yelling for people to “either move to the left or the right!” Unwittingly, I had stumbled upon the set of “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.”
