A reader reports:
“One of my neighbors (a young woman) was viciously attacked while walking home Monday night at 10 pm. Fortunately, she was close to home and several neighbors heard her scream, chased off her attackers, and called the cops. But they got away, and no one got a great look at them.
Never saw an alert about this assault–how the heck do the police decide what to post?? I would always want to know if my block had a couple of vicious assailants on the loose.
The attack happened near 11th and Otis NW. I heard a crash (her groceries falling) and screaming and by the time I got to the door (dialing 911), my heroic next door neighbor had chased off the attackers. The police response was pretty fast, but as I said, no one got a good look at them and they were long gone (headed toward 10th St down Otis last anyone saw). So as best as I know there are still two dudes who may come up behind you and beat the crap out of you for no reason roaming 11th Street.
Cold weather–not a crime deterrent, it turns out. But folks on 11th St near Otis can be reassured that at least they have great neighbors who will come to their aid.”

3100 14th St NW entrance on Park Rd, NW
The universal is a magical place. After mentioning Senor Chicken earlier I was thinking to myself – what the hell is going on with that spot. And I log onto my email this morning and one of the first things I see is this note:
“It appears that Señor Chicken on Park Rd in. Columbia Heights is rising from the ashes as…a restaurant?”
Awesome. Only the demo permit has been posted but we’ll definitely keep our eyes peeled for the building permit. Maybe it’ll be the Banh Mi and Sushi spot we heard about back in 2013. Stay tuned.
Well today it feels like winter has actually arrived but thanks to a reader for capturing this great shot at Meridian Hill Park over the weekend. And let’s go ahead and make this a bonus caption contest too!
This rental is located at 1334 Belmont St, NW. The listing says:
“After less than three months in this beautiful apartment, my fiance and I are relocating to the west coast for a job opportunity. But our loss can be your gain! Our 14th/U St. area 1 BR is perfect for a couple or a single person looking for a lot of space. Located on the first floor of a boutique condo building, it comes with:
-A large, private patio
-A working gas fireplace
-Brand new hardwood floors (our landlord replaced them right before we moved in)
-Vaulted ceilings in the living room
-A large kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a dishwasher, and a gas range
-Washer/dryer in unit
-4 closets (including a walk-in in the bedroom).
It’s also pet-friendly!
The location is unbeatable – a 5 minute walk from the U St. metro, 3 grocery stores, tons of gyms and boutique fitness studios, a dozen bus lines, and the 14th and U St. corridors (which include countless bars, restaurants, and shops).
We’ve loved living here and are very sad to leave this place. If you are interested or want more information, please let us know! We’d like someone to move in during January but are flexible on the exact date. If necessary, we may be able to provide partial furnishings for the apartment.”

“Found outside of 3579 13th St NW (it’s still there). Saw an Amazon box discarded near the area so this may be product of package theft. Unfortunately, did not see a second shoe anywhere.”
11th and Monroe St, NW
A reader reports:
“I checked with folks in the park and it’s a memorial for one of the park regulars, a man folks called Scooby. He had been in the hospital for awhile for a heart problem.”
