Adams Morgan/Kalorama Painted Van “torched”

Updates: Thanks to Ced for sending at 12:30pm

“The van is being towed now”

Prior to the van being towed readers sent photos of signs posted:

Thanks to Kyle for sending: “Fire Department extinguishing a van fire Saturday morning in Adams Morgan at the corner of Columbia Rd & Kalorama Rd. This van itself was pretty memorable. It had a bunch of political statements spay painted on the side and rarely (if ever) moved from that intersection over the last several years.”

Update from Morgan:

“At 4:15am heard a pop outside, and a few minutes later some more. Looked outside to a bunch of smoke and the graffiti van fully engulfed. The fire department arrived shortly thereafter.”

Jeanie gets a good photo of the aftermath:

“The iconic (weird) painted van that’s always near Kalorama Park has been… arson’d? It was its normal self Friday night around 6:30pm, though the door was slightly ajar which I’ve never seen, and then this morning it looked like it had gone up in wild flames overnight. Absolutely wild. Anyone have news on when this happened?”
