“Dear PoPville,

Sunday night in Cleveland Park my in laws saw and heard a coyote in the driveway around 4:30/5am. It was making a loud barking type sound. Apparently it is mating season. Was skeptical at first but read that during mating season they make this noise. It lasted about five minutes until they shined a flashlight and it ran away. This was on Newark Street.”

If you spot a hawk or any interesting wildlife around town, lunching or otherwise, and get a good photo please send in an email where you spotted it to [email protected] and I’ll add it to the queue. Hawks around Town is made possible by a generous grant from the Ben and Sylvia Gardner foundation.

“Carjacking and gun shot in Cleveland Park last night”

From ANC 3C09 Commissioner Nancy MacWood:

“I am including the official police report so that the facts are clear and as complete as possible at this time:

“MPD is currently investigating an Armed Carjacking (Gun) that occurred in 3100 block of 36th Street, NW in the Second District at approximately 10:50 PM last night. The victim reported that he was sitting in his vehicle at the listed location when he was approached by three suspects, at least one of whom was armed with a handgun. The victim was forcibly removed from the vehicle and thrown to the ground. One of the suspects stole the complainant’s wallet and attempted to steal his phone. One of the suspects fired a gunshot in an unknown direction while fleeing. The suspects then fled in the victim’s vehicle and were last seen traveling eastbound in the 3500 block of Lowell Street, NW. The victim was obviously a little shook up but he did not report any physical injury and refused medical attention from DCFEMS on the scene. Responding officers broadcasted a citywide lookout for the victim’s vehicle which was later spotted in the Seventh District on Southern Avenue, SE. Seventh District officers attempted to stop the vehicle at which time the vehicle fled and crashed into another vehicle in the 1500 block of Mississippi Avenue, SE. The occupants of the vehicle then fled on foot and escaped. This case is currently being investigated by detectives from the Second District. Anyone with information about this crime is encouraged to call 202-727-9099 or text to #50-411. The report number for this incident is 18-012-329.”

Cold Stone Creamery coming to former Secolari Olive Oil space in Cleveland Park

By Prince Of Petworth


3509 Connecticut Ave, NW

Thanks to Kevin for sending the story from WTOP:

“Scottsdale, Arizona-based Cold Stone Creamery will open its eighth Washington-area location this summer in D.C.’s Cleveland Park neighborhood.

The ice cream chain has signed a lease for 1,400 square feet at Sam’s Park & Shop shopping center at 3503 Connecticut Ave. NW. It will replace Secolari Olive Oil at the property, owned by Rockville-based Federal Realty.”

Secolari closed back in April and Petco’s last day is January 23rd (Target coming.) Cleveland Park once had a Cold Stone Creamery located at 3508 Connecticut Ave, NW. That space is becoming a Pivot Physical Therapy.
