Washington • Living next to Cabinet officials can be tough on Washingtonians. But the events that unfolded Monday night in front of Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke’s home were weird by any standards.
The Mercedes SUV had been idling for two hours, and was taking up three parking spots on Kentucky Avenue S.E. So Lincoln Park resident Gina Arlotto asked the driver to back up to free two parking spots, she said Tuesday. The driver refused.
Neighbor Paul Legere was coming home from work when his wife called to warn him the car had been idling for hours on the block, a notoriously difficult place to find parking.
