Hard to believe since he is such a monumental figure in Washington, but the Washington Post and WTOP are both reporting that Abe Pollin passed away today. Few details at this point, I'm sure someone will post more once they are available.
Washington Post is reporting that no details on where Mr. Pollin died or the cause of death are available at this time, but the current story on the site is a 3 paragraph story that must have been written in the 15 minutes since I got an e-alert from them with the news. When I made the first post, they just had a headline on their front page but no story. I'm sure more details will be made available within the coming hours.
