Today at 12:30, a parade of elephants will mark the return of the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus to DC. Beginning at 2nd & D St. NW and finishing at the Verizon Center, the parade will likely tie up traffic in Chinatown in the early afternoon. I fully expect PETA to be out in force and fairly upset about the whole thing, and I expect a bunch of people to be surprised by the general spectacle.
The Circus is at the Verizon Center Thursday through Sunday and tickets are available online via Ticketbastard.
