Rodman and Connecticut Ave, NW. Virginia plates. Been there for days. Plow had to go around it…
I guess it’s simply to icy for tow trucks to operate or DC doesn’t have enough tow trucks? I get one day or even two but this is day four like this.
Genuine question: Do you think the owner will try to recover it?
Thanks to Maddy for sending above yesterday:
“An act of collective altruism took place this afternoon outside Teaism in Dupont Circle. An SUV got stuck in the haphazardly plowed roads across from the tea house, its wheels spinning out as it tried to breach a small snow bank. A few folks tried to get the car moving, unsuccessfully. Then, in a flurry, a group of employees from Teaism filed out front, one by one, adorned with aprons in place of winter coats, and helped propel the car to freedom. The district may not have the perfect infrastructure to deal with the inundation of the winter storm, but DC’s citizens prove once again that they’re able to face unexpected challenges, together and head-on.”
