Tent at military and western ?

Anonymous
There is a fortified tent at the intersection of Western and Military. It’s been there for at least a year - not sure about before as I only lived in Friendship Heights for a year. It’s pretty gross looking and I’m wondering what prevents the city from removing it? Does anyone live inside? What’s the story?

What is a fortified tent?

Does it have gun emplacements? A keep? Moat? Is it defended by Knights? Surrounded by a stockade?

Curious as to what constitutes a “fortification” to a heap of fabric and aluminum poles.

I think the poster refers to what looks like spray foam all over the tent. Yes ut does not look good and no, I have never seen anybody there.

I guess if you want everyone to know you don’t know that term, this is one way to do it.

Where? I don’t recall seeing anything like that and I was just there.

The neighbors should remove it if the city won’t.

The closest neighbors are the Chase Point condo. My spouse says he has seen the occupant, but not sure how recently.

Buy them a new tent if you don't like theirs.

There are neighborhoods where that would happen. Friendship heights isn’t one of them.

Yeah, Einstein- that’s what I was implying.

I don’t know WTH a “fortified” tent IS. I goggled it. Google doesn’t know either.

Congrats. You’re smarter than me AND Google.

That Ivy degree was worth it all along I guess.

Maybe spend a weekend off the computer. A 10 year old Boy Scout knows what that means.

It's on the right headed toward Western on Military, like 15 ft in front of the intersection. Big ass tent. Lots of spray foam.

There's no such thing as a "fortified tent".

OP made up the term in an attempt to explain/describe what they are seeing/saw.

So, only they know what it is exactly or what the definition is since it's something they completely made up.

I can make assumptions and guesses as to what they may mean and if I had seen it, I would have some additional information to go on but I haven't so here we are - only OP knows exactly what a "fortified tent" is. You think you know, but you'd only be guessing.

OP could post a picture but to be honest, I'm OK if they are the only one who knows what a "fortified tent" is.
