I live in the great State of Maryland. This morning I took a different route than normal to get to a client. I decided to use the Clara Barton Parkway into Georgetown and then over to just south of Dupont Circle where the client is.
In doing that, I found this sign on the side of the road. This is not the actual sign I saw. I don't think my fellow commuters would appreciate me stopping at 8 AM to take a picture. Or would it be safe for me to continue driving and taking the picture at the same time.
So my question is, what is the reason for this to be up? Is it an orphaned sign from the Inauguration? Is there a major event in the District that I'm just oblivious to? Or is it to protect the affluent Potomac, MD and Great Falls, VA residents to warn them against the vagrants of the District? More to the point, why does anyone need to be told this in a city where many commuters park in garages that are not open to aimless wanderers looking for a quick fix of loot.
Wow...I am truly baffled by this. If you need to be reminded to take your valuables maybe you deserve to be robbed.
My mind has just been blown. I don't get it either...Ahh the joys of driving in MD.
Lemm and JP, I couldn't believe it either. The Clara Barton is pretty busy during rush hour. Adding a sign that does not really affect traffic causes traffic. I had to read it in case it said something like "Road Closed at Arizona Ave". But a note about valuables made no sense.
