Why did I not know about this?
I don't think any of us live in DC proper and those are the only folks who will be anywhere near the mall tomorrow.
I'd bet 99% of the people on the mall tomorrow will be non-locals.

I was downtown all day today and there's no way I'm goin' back until Wednesday. Between the MLK holiday and pre-Inauguration, there was nothin' but tourons, I mean tourists
on the streets and Metro. And I walked past one restaurant that had a sign out saying they're open until 4a.m.
Zen, I assume you weren't on I-70 today near Myersville, were you?

Tourons! LOL. With the bars open and serving booze-a-hol later, there are plenty of drunk tourons roaming around. And think, Cherry Blossom time is just around the corner.

We didn't get any snow here in Arlington. I was surprised to see the snow footage on the news, in addition to the horrible accident.
