Summit to Soul’s Window smashed with brick on Barracks Row, Car Windows smashed in Bloomingdale

By Prince Of Petworth


727 8th Street, SE

From Summit to Soul:

“As you can see from the photo, a large piece of brick was thrown through our window in the middle of the night. We are fortunate this happened at a time when no one was in the shop; we are all safe and repairs are underway. However, incidents like this make being a small business so difficult – especially in 2020. We will pick up the pieces and carry on, just like we’ve navigated the rest of 2020. But what a rough way to start the holiday season.”

Unfortunately a bunch of car windows have been smashed in Bloomingdale too: (more…)

From MPD:

“On November 9th, 2020, at approximately 1955 hours, there was a robbery that occurred in the 200 block of 10th Street NE. The Complainant reported that several unknown black male suspects exited a white in color SUV and approached her while she was walking in the block. At which point, the suspects demanded her property, struck her several times in the face, and ultimately took her purse and U.S. Government issued iPhone. The suspects then fled in the same white SUV suspect vehicle.

Shortly afterwards an attempted robbery occurred in the 400 block of 11th Street NE. The Complainant reported that two suspects exited a white in color Honda CRV while she was walking northbound in the 400 block of 11th Street NE. The suspects approached the Complainant and one of the suspects brandished a black in color revolver. The suspects demanded the victim’s purse and struck her with a closed fist in the face. (more…)

Drive By Paintball Shooting

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I don’t know if anyone else in the city experienced this but my neighbors (and the front of my house) were shot by drive by paint ballers last night on the hill (like a block behind the library of Congress). I don’t know if it was the beginnings of election mayhem or just bored teenagers but it was really something else.”

Ed. Note: They buried the lede – “In December, the team will also introduce a new gin bar, The Wells, adjacent to the two restaurants.”
