“Dear PoPville,
Something curious going on around 14th and H. Secret Service has the nearby blocks completely sealed off to pedestrians and vehicles. No word on why. Traffic mess down here”
RA Olivieri writes: “14 street in DC closed not far from White House with Secret Service agent and police all around. No idea what is going on. I heard a comment that a car was abandoned near 14 but I have no more details.”
