Went to Chevy Chase, DC, to see Hidden Figures today.

EXCELLENT movie!

On my way out, passing loudly was a stream of police cycles, then a black limo. I suspect Pence, going 'home' for the evening. Ruined a fine afternoon!

It was a pretty impressive effort (it's now run by the non-profit the community started).

I was able to do a little bit of volunteer work, though by then things were mostly falling into place. It was such an inspiring effort, and it really adds a lot to the neighborhood.
