Update part one: Pablo has been found!! Will update again when Bruno is hopefully found soon too.
Pablo’s owner reports: “Attached are some photos of Pablo, as well as the thief/thieves. They took him from my boyfriend at gunpoint while I was in CVS. They took his phone, but the “find my iPhone” showed it had been ditched, and the car was stolen so dead end there. He’s 11 weeks and we’ve had him less than 2 weeks. We intended on fostering but immediately fell in love and adopted on the spot. We got him from K9 Lifesavers and they’ve generously offered to donate the $5,000 reward.
We are so insanely in love with him even after such a short time. He loves attention and has certainly gotten no shortage of it on our walks.
Detectives say the robbers will likely try to sell him so we’re asking people to keep an eye out on Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. Also would love help spreading the word to area vets.”

5600 Georgia Ave, NW
Thanks to Natalie for sending: “Dollar Tree opened in the old Rite Aid(?) location at 5600 Georgia Ave. Store is fully stocked — and I could have sworn I saw a bunch of cars and shoppers here when I passed by a few days ago. But apparently the store is having some “unforeseen permit and certification issues” so its grand opening has been delayed for now. Hope it opens soon. (more…)

Can we talk about the massive overhaul underway on Kennedy Street NW?
Between 3rd and 13th, I made a rough count of 17 buildings under some degree of construction. Some turning into bigger pop ups. Some into large buildings. Some maybe with retail.

Went to drop off my laundry for wash (Sunday around 2:15pm), first time in more than a year since this business used to be on Kennedy Street, and as I was leaving to run a couple errands, two kids started yelling at each other down New Hampshire which then lead to them traveling up towards the Laundromat parking lot.
