A reader reports:

“A woman was sexually assaulted last night around 10:45pm near Logan Circle. She was walking her dog and a man followed her into the driveway of her building just off of 12th St and Mass Ave NW.

The suspect was not caught so people in the area, please be careful and walk with a buddy if possible!”

From MPD:

“Someone stuck some fire starters into our car wheel this morning and set our car on fire.”

“Dear PoPville,

Someone stuck some fire starters into our car wheel Sunday morning and set our car on fire. I saw that you had some posts about car arson in DC, do you know of recent cases? It’s pretty scary and we want to know if it’s part of a recent pattern. Someone mentioned that there were some cases of car arson in Logan this summer.

Since the incident, we heard from others living in the area that there’s been a string of car arsons in the shaw/truxton circle/logan region over the last few months. People have been helpful in updating the fire detectives working on their case. I’m sure the detectives will connect the dots, but I’m trying to proactively see if there are other similar incidents in the area.”

SCUTTLEBUTT aka ONLY A RUMOR – Will the P Street/Logan Circle Whole Foods Remain When the New Florida Avenue Store Opens?

1440 P Street, NW

“Dear PoPville,

Not sure if you’ve heard the rumor that the 14th/P WholeFoods will be moving to Florida Avenue once the current lease is up. One of the employees told me the landlord wants to turn the current space into condos and won’t be renewing the lease. The employee I know seemed to think there will be a gap in service and was worried about their job…”

Ed. Note: THIS IS A RUMOR. Having said that, we learned of Trader Joe’s opening on 14th Street from a Trader Joe’s employee in Foggy Bottom. Nobody originally believed that scuttlebutt. Having said that it is way too early to panic so, STAY TUNED.

Sam, and others, ask: “does anyone know why it has smelled like the zoo outside of the p street Whole Foods for the past month???”

Back in April 2015 the malodorous mystery first reared its ugly head on P Street. At that time DC Water told us it was due to a “clogged sewer line” and took a few days to fix. Perhaps the same issue?

Thanks to Chaya for sending the photo above. Kristin writes:

“Apparently happened last week when I was out of town, but they’ve been closed all this week too. Phone is disconnected. Some of the shelves are empty but there’s some stuff still in there. WEIRD.”
