Ah. That makes sense then. DC really changed during the wartime era. Everyone converged on the city to work for the gov't. Before it was just a sleepy Southern town. And you can still hear traces of that in the radio broadcasts of the time. When I listened to the D-Day broadcasts awhile back, a news commentator was describing a nearly empty intersection and saying how DC didn't really wake up until 8am! Some things have changed.
