I LOVE DC
I NEED YOU AND YOUR CAR!
Dear citizens of DC,
When hurricane Sandy hit America in 2012, I took refuge in DC and fell greatly in love with both the city and its wonderful people. To express my appreciation for you & DC, I want to pin an enormous “I LOVE DC” aerial photo on the Interstate 395 tunnel chimney near Mount Vernon Triangle!
