The Week Ahead…& Some Photos from the Past Week

A new arrival on lower 8th Street, SE – Cafe Angelique. Organic coffee, tea, and CBD. And paninis.
Tuesday was the first day of early voting in DC. There were reports of “around the corner” lines at Sherwood Recreation Cengter at 8:00am. No lines in the afternoon, though.
On Monday afternoon, prior to the Senate vote to confirm the nomination of Judge Amy Barrett to the Supreme Court, broadcast news crews gathered at the Senate “Swampsite” across from the Senate steps.
On Friday, businesses near the White House including the luxury hotel Sofital began to board up their windows against demonstratons.
On Friday afternoon one could enter Lafayette Park albeit only as far as the fence just north of the Andrew Jackson statue.
Things had changed by Sunday when Lafayette Park was closed and the security perimiter became H Street, NW. Here’s an image from Black Lives Matter Plaza.
