Thanks to Kate for sharing from New Hampshire Ave, NW: “File under weird Election Day omens. This was taken from the apartment building next to Casta’s rum bar, looks like the deer went south towards L street but no idea how it got so far downtown. Would love to know if anyone else saw/if animal control was able to get ahold of him safely and return him to a more forest-y area than west end.”
