Maybe this is me being nitpicky (the above description could even be a typo, but still)...
Isn't there already one on H Street, in addition to one at the Brentwood/Home Depot...
That's just the wind when it shifts blowing west from Georgia Ave

A road closure report is pretty worthless for Rolling Thunder. I’ve seen out-of-jurisdiction motorcycle cops and random bikers take it upon themselves to just block traffic and highway ramps to let through hundreds of bikers. I’m all for honoring veterans, but you don’t have to act like jerks while you’re doing it.
Rolling Thunder is the worst. I think we should stop fighting wars just to avoid producing more members for them. It pretty much just ruins any chance of other people enjoying traveling around the city and to the Mall on Sunday.
I’m a motorcycle rider (that’s me on my bike in my avatar) and I hate Rolling Thunder. I’m leaving town to go make my own thunder on my motorcycle on beautiful empty roads in West Virginia.
There are expected to be 500,000 of them this weekend. I hate when they ride around my neighborhood — so loud and disruptive. It’s easy to avoid The Mall, but ecchhhh.
