“Dear PoPville,
Spotted a drone flying over Petworth. The video is zoomed in, but wondering if there have been other sighting. I know MPD has a drone program. Could it be from that?”

Update from the Library of Congress Communications Officer:
“We messed up. We replaced the tree topper yesterday and we hope people can join us for the official tree lighting later this afternoon at 4pm.”
