Hey, Bill, how near are you to the Rite Aid where folks are being held hostage?

"L Street between 16th and 14th Streets, 15th Street between M and K and portions of K street at 15th."

Maybe a mile from work, five streets from my house.

Well, be careful out there.

Y'know, it's just so very washingtonpostish that the story leads and closes with the impact the hostage takers are having on traffic.

As usual, we don't realize the jewel we've been offered until it's gone. Thank you for recognizing SDB and for the linky. :)
