A reader reports yesterday:
“Wanted to write and let you know about the serial penis flasher in NoMa. Ski mask clad, and d**k whipped out at 7:30 am by the NoMa metro ready to greet innocent bystanders. He has been spotted by numerous people, cops have been called, and he’s still up to no good. Photo is of him zipping up…so that’s his hand in the crotch region.”
From the NoMa BID:
“NoMa’s largest park, located along the Metropolitan Branch Trail (MBT) and Harry Thomas Way NE, is gearing up for construction later this year. Consistent with the wildly successful naming of Swampoodle Park (at 3rd and L streets NE), the NoMa Parks Foundation is relying on the input of community members to identify names to suggest to the DC Council and Mayor Muriel Bowser. The proposed names for the “NoMa Green” are: Gales Wood, Met Branch Commons, Tanner Park, and Union Green. Take the survey to vote.
Previously, the NoMa Parks Foundation received 112 submissions from community members, collected at a community meeting and through online outreach. (more…)
