Ed. Note: I’m not attaching all the photos of lamps out but I vouch they were in the original email
A reader passes on a letter sent to the Mayor’s Office:
“I went out again last night, August 10th, to review the locations where I had observed streetlights out the night before. I went east on Park Road NW from 16th Street to 14th Street, NW; headed south to Columbia Road, then proceeded north along 14th Street NW. I extended my walk further north to Arkansas, then went east to Georgia Avenue before returning on Arkansas west to 16th Street, north to Newton Street, east to 17th / Mt. Pleasant Street.
My observations are listed below as to what locations I observed
streetlights out and the time. Some key points are:
– Over 30 streetlights out after dark in the upper 14th Street corridor in
Columbia Heights
– 3 streetlights out in immediate proximity to where the fatal homicide
occurred last week in the 3500 block of 14th St. NW
– 3 streetlights out on Arkansas Ave NW on the north side of Peoples’
Congregational Church, UCC
– 3 streetlights out at the intersection of Park Road NW and Mt. Pleasant
Street NW
I did not observe any repair work being done during my walk.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
