Ever been walking down the promenade of a suburban strip mall,
looking in shop windows, and realizing...
something
doesn't quite
seem right?
But the more you realize you are near a government capital,
the less you want to investigate ...
because ... it might be a front for something?
No?
Just me?
Because apparently I am NOT the only one who realized that the displays never changed, the shop never seemed to have people going in, and everyone (Dad) was afraid to investigate the entire time they were in DC?
