Blanca de Leon won’t be closing up shop or boarding up the windows of her beauty parlor on Pennsylvania Avenue Southeast because of fears about the election, even as other businesses around the city brace for the worst.
That doesn’t mean de Leon, who owns Capitol Hair Salon a block away from the Capitol, isn’t nervous.
“I think if [Donald] Trump wins, it’s going to be crazy. If Trump loses, it’s going to be crazy too,” said de Leon. “I’m scared a little bit. But it’s not the end of the world.”
