Mount Pleasant Restaurant Makes a Plea for Help


3162 Mt Pleasant Street, NW

From Beau Thai:

“We need help in #MtPleasant. The @7eleven is a haven for crime and harassment in particular. The street is scary at night, & we presume vandalism and robbery is inevitable (again. and again.). Just now we had a very uncomfortable interaction with one of the usuals. Help.

We’ve been communicating with & via business neighbors for months. The theme we’ve heard seems to be there’s a lack of resources, a revolving door court system, drug problems are hard to address, & solutions take time. We haven’t seen any real progress.”

Mayor’s Office of Community Relations and Services replied:

“We’re here to help. @PForemanW1MOCRS and @JerrodW1MOCRS, the Mayor’s Ward 1 Liaisons will be in touch if they haven’t been already. They’ll be sure to include @dcmoapia and together we’ll see how we can help.”
