One reader reported:
“Woke up to gun shots at 3:15 am. They had the whole 900 block of T St NW and intersection closed off.”
Another reported:
“Multiple gunshots ( felt like 5+to me by the time I woke up l) at 3-00 -3:30 ish this morning at 9th and T Nw. The intersection was blocked off with crime tape and lots of police resources deployed. Really curious what happened…in the past two months It feels like we’ve seen so much activity in this area.”
Updates when/if more is known.
A reader sends this painful sight from 5th and P Street, NW. “All four wheels gone.”

I also like the new Jackie Lee’s on Kennedy Street. Having said all that, I understand as a District of over 700,000 folks there will be varied tastes. As such, whatever floats your boats my friends, whatever floats your boats. Truly! Without further ado from a press release:

Back in March we learned that Mason Dixie Biscuit Co. was closing on Bladensburg Road and moving to a new location. My sources now say that this will be in Shaw!! I give this scuttlebutt an 88% accuracy rating. Stay tuned for their “signature fried chicken” and much more. God willing.

Thanks to Madelyn (and Andrew) for sending last night:

Yesterday we learned that the Uprising Muffin Company was closing their brick and mortar location outside the Shaw metro at the end of the month. I have now learned from a very good source (92% accuracy rating) that an &pizza will be taking over the space. If true – good news or bad news?

Well this stinks. Washingtonian reports:
“Uprising Muffin Company will shut down its Shaw cafe after July 27 and move operations to TasteLab, a food incubator and commercial kitchen space in Brookland, where it will focus on catering and eventually wholesale.”
