[Scan-DC] TG 16688 = ICC?

[Thomas P. Clouse]

I drove it this afternoon around 1 p.m.  Westbound, there were two
marked MDTA Cruisers in the median before the tunnel. There were
another three or four cruisers in the parking lot of the new MDTA
station by Shady Grove Road.  Eastbound, a County motor officer in a
cruiser had stopped to talked to the MDTA guys, and down by Georgia,
three County motor officers looked like they were getting familiar
with the road, too.
