From an MPD police report:
“The assault occurred near 30th and M and apparently sparked when a witness observed three subjects in a car that struck a parked car and attempted to leave the scene. The witness apparently told them to leave a note and as a result, he was beaten and kicked by the three. There is no usable description at this point, but detectives are actively following up to see what other information is out there.”

It’s been a while since we checked out some Georgetown house porn. I’m gonna be honest and say this isn’t may favorite one straight off. However, I’m curious to know what you think of the fact that it is leased until 8/31/2012? Who would drop over $2.5 million with such a stipulation?
So what do you think of the house itself? I’m a sucker for bookshelves… Obviously the location is very desirable to many so do you think they’ll get near their asking of $2,750,000?
Ed. Note: I’ve received all the reader suggestions for regular GDoN posts but if you have suggestions for house porn posts don’t hesitate to email me as well.

Thanks to a reader for sending this one in. She also notes this home made the Wall Street Journal. Last week’s house porn is going to be very tough to beat. What do you guys think of this one? I’m digging the pool, not so much the kitchen…

The Craigslist ad says:
“Ideally located between Dupont Circle and Georgetown, Rock Creek Gardens entices you
With beautifully landscaped grounds and newly renovated lobby. The spacious apartment

Do you think $1440 sounds reasonable for this location?
Puro Cafe has opened up at 1529 Wisconsin Ave, NW. It’s got a bit of a modern look:
Their Web site is a bit slow but if you wait it out you can see their menus here.
We’ve previously judged Cafe Divan located at 1834 Wisconsin Ave., NW. I just noticed that they have had a grand opening of their Sea Room. Anyone know anything about this? I assume it will specialize in seafood but I didn’t see anything about it on their Web site. Anyone happen to try it out yet?
I found this mural on Wisconsin Avenue near Q Street, NW. It is very simple but I like how it contrasts the gas signage.
I thought this was a good looking gate from Georgetown. Though I did find the horse head oddly out of place…
Georgetown Cafe is located at 1623 Wisconsin Ave NW. This looks like an awesome late night spot which was confirmed by some folks over at Yelp. But I’m wondering for those who’ve been there – is it better for Middle Eastern food or breakfast/diner type food?
Puro Cafe is coming to 1529 Wisconsin Ave, NW. I asked a neighbor if she knew when it would open but she didn’t know the exact date. I’ll be sure to update when they officially open their doors.
And I was excited to see construction begin at the corner of 13th and U Streets, NW. I’m eager to see what tenants move in:
