Suspicious Package at Columbia Heights
A suspicious package found outside the Columbia Heights Metro closed the station at 10:03 a.m. No one is being allowed inside the station, though WMATA says Green and Yellow line trains continue to operate, they just are not stopping at Columbia Heights. Free shuttle buses should be available between the Georgia Ave-Petworth and U St/African-Amer Civil War Memorial/Cardozo stations.

You should read your latest tips. The suspicious package is the life size bear costume.

It wasn't a "suspicious package," it was a RAGGEDY, LIFE-SIZED TEDDY BEAR propped against a trash can. No joke.
I passed it on the way to work this morning. I tried to take a picture, but half the block was sectioned off and my cell phone sucks.

Wait. So al Quaida is now recruiting plushies? This war is LOST.
Countdown to Jim Graham passing bold anti-bear-loitering emergency legislation.

There is a some speculation that it may be a Mark Jenkins piece, or a wannabe Jenkins...
