Thanks to a reader for sending in the photo. The Post reported:

The officer was shot in the arm, according to a manager who declined to give his name when reached by telephone at the 901 Rhode Island Ave NE store.
The manager said a suspect was in custody.”

“I’d be curious to see what readers think about the neighborhood (Brookland, basically, but closer to RI Ave). Looks like a very pretty street, but I don’t know the neighborhood first-hand. The house looks spacious and nicely finished, but the price is maybe a bit high for the area?”
What do you guys think of this area – does $2375 sound reasonable for a whole house here?
This is going to be, “a $107 million public-private mixed-use transit-oriented development that will bring a 24-7 town center development to the Rhode Island Avenue corridor in northeast Washington, D.C. Ground will be broken for 274 Class A apartments, 70,000 square feet of main street retail, and a new Metro commuter garage.”
This area of Rhode Island could definitely use some upgrades.
