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.”

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.

From an email:
“The Uptown will continue its weekend morning movie series that started in December with a new slate of films starting this Saturday, Jan 6 and Sunday, Jan. 7. Sing, the animated 2016 film featuring the voices of Scarlett Johannson, Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon and Seth Macfarlane, will run at 10:00am both days.(Yes, for anyone remembering 10:30 start times in December, this is earlier to accommodate the still-running Star Wars at the Uptown the rest of the day)
Here’s the line-up for future films, too: (more…)
The awesome new Klingle Valley Trail getting a bit of the Metropolitan Branch Trail treatment…
From the Cleveland Park listserv December 28th:
“Today at approximately 12:25 pm while walking up the Klingle bike path and nearing the Connecticut Avenue bridge, I heard a noise and turned around to see a silver car bearing down on me and my dog. I jumped out of the way and it sped past — going dangerously fast for conditions (around 30 mph at least). I yelled, waved my arms and screamed, but it didn’t slow down. A runner asked if I was okay and asked if I got the license plate — I hadn’t. He sped up trying to get close enough to see the license.
I called 911 as soon as I stopped shaking and reported it. On the way home (no lingering at 22 degrees to chat with 911), I saw a young man who’d been walking in the woods — he’d seen the car, described it as “seriously speeding” and said he thought it was a Toyota. Agreed it was silver.
I called 911 again when I got inside — they are sending an officer to take the report.
The fact is: THERE ARE NO EFFECTIVE BARRIERS TO CARS DRIVING ON THE BIKE PATH.”
And then on December 31st:
“Car on Klingle Trail New Year`s Eve. There is no visible marker and driver told us she was directed there by Google. Yikes.”
