[Lnc-business] Parking garage collapses at Watergate in DC

[Wes Benedict]

Here's an update from the management (courtesy of Robert Kruas). We 
actually to still have a storage unit in the basement with a couple 
hundred boxes of archives. I was hoping to move those materials to a 
climate-controlled storage unit near 1444 Duke St. sometime soon. We'll 
be monitoring the situation.
