Peterson backs down, but hassled photographers persist
From Just up the Pike:
“SIDE NOTE: I was accosted by security this afternoon while attempting to photograph the atrium of an office building on 12th Street in Downtown D.C. - while at work there . . .
This morning, the Peterson Companies has offered an olive branch of sorts to the photographers and bloggers it has recently slighted in Silver Spring (a detailed play-by-play of which can be found at the Baltimore Sun)….
…Peterson, owner of the Downtown Silver Spring complex, recently came under scrutiny for its “no photography” policy on Ellsworth Drive after security guards accosted photographer Chip Py two weeks ago. Py was unimpressed by the Peterson Companies’ reversal. On the Free Our Streets blog, he said that the photographers’ protest planned for July 4th on Ellsworth will go on as planned.”
