“Dear PoPville,
Wondering if you or anybody in the community know what was up with the giant line this morning at the Washington Hilton? It stretched from the front door almost all the way down to Florida Ave. Have lived across the street for 4 years and have never seen anything like this except for the WHCA dinner.”
