The editor is waiting for the January 8 meeting before he gets too excited. But the WaPo
of Christmas Day leaves a lot of questions. (The editor didn't see it, since First Cup was closed that day and the newspaper vending machines at Ninth and M aren't refilled when it's serious holiday.)
It has this diagram:
OK. That leaves a lot of questions.
1. That's a whole lot of cars to park elsewhere. And is it presumptuous to think the mean "on street" parking as opposed to anywhere in the perimeter? Still a lot of cars.
2. That can't be coterminous (nice word) with the "lockdown" perimeter we are facing. There simply aren't enough police available to check all the drivers licenses of all the people coming to the inauguration. Our perimeter has to be different.
3. Does the yellow "bus parking area" say buses have priority? What happens to rush hour parking rules. What the hell happens to the neighborhoods in the yellow zone?
January 8 should handle some of these questions. One hopes. Hope. Interesting word.
