Busy night in Petworth. From Council Member Bowser:
“Neighbors- I regret to inform you that MPD is investigating multiple shots fired in the 700 Block of Shepherd St NW at approx 8:30 pm. No one was injured. There was damage to property. MPD will release details as they are available.”
UPDATE: MPD CMDR Brown writes in an email, “After investigating this last further last night, this gunfire was the result of a domestic situation between a girlfriend, her old and new boyfriend. We have a witness and hopefully that witness will provide the necessary information to close this case.”
And more detail regarding the Allison St. activity:
“Several shots were fired at a vehicle being occupied by a male subject in 700 Block of Sheperd ST NW at approx 8:30 pm who fled the area… this vehicle was observed by MPD who attempted to stop it in the 500 blk of Allison ST – at which time the driver bailed out — the passenger was interviewed who reported to MPD that they were shot at by a b/male, a former boyfriend… not a random act and not gang related.”

Big DCFD turnout on this one. Lots of smoke out the window of a rowhouse. It doesn’t appear there were any injuries but will update as more details become available. Emergency vehicles responded approximately 10pm Tues. evening.

Piccante Pizza is coming to 2120 18th Street in Adams Morgan. 18th Street is a pretty competitive pizza spot with over a half dozen spots already. It’ll be interesting to see if this spot can differentiate itself from the others. But look how happy it’ll make you:

I’ve spoken about my love for the Montgomery County Agricultural Fair but PoPville flickr user hilaryhartman got this great shot from the Fredericksburg Agricultural Fair. I know the fairs are over now but does anyone have a favorite?

Since the economy took a skid we haven’t heard much about development at the Old Soldiers Home. Wayan, spotted a bit of beautification as the fences were getting painted.
Do you think the chain link part of the fence will make it more welcoming? Any predictions for when development talks may get restarted?

I love the contrast in this great photo taken in Takoma, DC by jleathers.

You can talk about whatever is on your mind – quality of life issues, a beautiful tree you spotted, scuttlebutt, or any random questions/thoughts you may have. I
