Thanks to all for passing on this awful allegation from Nextdoor:
“Hit and Run Near Sherwood Playground and Elementary
This Saturday afternoon, November 4th, around 3:35PM my boyfriend witnessed a hit and run near Sherwood Playground and Elementary. This man dragged the child and his bicycle for 10 feet. Instead of stopping, the driver backed up at least three times in an attempt to free the bicycle from the vehicle’s undercarriage. When unsuccessful, the driver completely ran over the child’s bike and fled the scene.
Appalled!!! My boyfriend pursued him and took a photo of his license plate. When my boyfriend returned to the scene of the crime the victim was gone. This child must be bruised and bloody. We’re unsure if the victim reported anything to the police, but if you know him please have him come forward.
Description of the Driver involved – Age: 45-55, Build: Average, Race: White, Sex: Male.
Description of Victim involved – Age: 12-14, Build: Husky, Race: Black, Sex: Male, Other details: The victim was riding a black bicycle.
Description of vehicle involved – Color: Black, Make: Nissan, Model: Pathfinder, Year: Newer Model, Type: 4WD SUV. License Plate: MD. Other details: Last seen on Capital Hill near Staton Park, driving erratically.”
Ed. Note: The police and the Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice have been alerted to this report including the full license plate number.

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
