WHAT? So you're saying that cabbie might just have a viable reason for not taking me to 14th St NE after all? Why not set one up in Georgetown and prevent the yuppies from shopping, the lawyers from going to work, the hipsters from hitting up the bars...this is absurd! Has DC really come to this? Um. WHAT?
