Luke Russert writes for us: "If the teams leave, I won’t go much to Potomac Yard. I’ll catch a few games out of curiosity, but I’ll finally give up the seats. I’d rather stay home with Dad and the ghosts of downtown D.C." https://t.co/sFzy71eUXL
Peeking in windows and on rooftops in @CapitolRvrFront. Lots of activity on long-planned projects near Nats Park, all of which I think are planning to open this spring.🧵
Another cut on this:
These amounts are enough to fully vaccinate 70m Americans per month.
Skipping the math, but if we vaccinated at that pace—plus accounting for people who have already been vaxxed—it would be enough to reach ~70% of the adult (age 16+) population by April 30.
Sad to report that Arne Sorenson, CEO of Marriott, has passed away. He had been battling pancreatic cancer since May 2019. He created the modern day Marriott and acquired Starwood hotels. He also happened to be a very good guy.

What else?
Waking up to see that...Douglas Jemal got a presidential pardon. If you do not know about him, here's a great @OConnellPostbiz profile on the D.C. developer, who is friends with the Kushners, and his wire fraud conviction. https://t.co/e2V3zKesij
When @JoeBiden joked that @JanetYellen should have her own @HamiltonMusical ... it got us thinking, what would that sound like?
As it happens, we know an artist on The Hamilton Mixtape. We'll let @dessadarling take it from here.
Around 10 am this morning I heard some pops, saw this fire burning underneath 395 outside of the Capitol South Whole Foods. Our homeless neighbors live under there. Praying no one was in the vicinity when the fire started. Authorities/fire department on scene @WTOP@PoPville
All of this homeless person’s belongings just went up in flames under the 695 bridge near H and 2nd SE. Extremely unfortunate... @WTOPtraffic@nbcwashington
