[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP, who asked whether or not this Day of Rage was a hoax. We were planning to go to DC - to a restaurant just a block away from the WH - and will have in tow elderly parents (87 and 91) and a teenaged girl.

I might get flamed for this, but we're modifying our plans. There's no way of knowing whether this thing has any "legs," and while I suspect that a protest, if there is one at all, will most likely be peaceful (and small), it seems imprudent to take even a sliver of a chance, especially since I have responsibility for other family members who are more vulnerable. Factor into the equation that there are plenty of nice restaurants out here in suburban Virginia, and that just seems to make more sense.

And just to head off any incoming criticisms that one can't be afraid to live, we're not. We have a nice vacation planned next month, involving airports, and continue to venture fully into the world. But in this case, where a downtown trip is so unnecessary, why continue with plans for the very evening and in the very location when a protest - maybe a hoax, maybe not - is planned? After all, there IS a chance that a protest can reel out of control, as we've unfortunately seen, so....why risk it?

Finally, if there is a protest, I hope it will remain peaceful. We've had enough bloodshed.

Try Applebee's.  [/quote]

Ha! We've narrowed it down to Applebee's or the Capital Grille. They're both similar.[/quote]

Grill with an "e" -- how chi-chi.  [/quote]
