That’s what I thought. Means people are actively avoiding it. I’m sure the heat is deterring people but the Mall is usually very crowded this time of year.
Are you saying there is less people than there would normally be?
Yes, they are saying that. I used to live in DC and summer is when I would avoid the National Mall because of all the tourists. It's also brutal humid. But lousy with tourists in summer.
What else do you think they are saying? Seems pretty straightforward to me.
That does seem to be what they're saying they think they're saying. Straight and forward.
