You probably didn’t venture too far into VA, prob not beyond Arlington Cemetary stop, and with VA being a pivotal state in the presidential eleciton, it’s seeing a lot of activity. Maryland as a blue state is irrelevant. and DC doesn’t vote, so...
Glad you had a good time and that people were nice to you. DC is an extremely clean city, it’s always more noticeable to us when we come back from somewhere else.
You know I hate to be impolitic, but if you know SG was going to be in town you should have stayed home.
That’s as rude as routinely driving up I95 and not saying hi.
