“Shooting in Shaw on corner of Giant just now. Heard two shots. Police now blocking street off” Ed. Note: Semantics but this was likely shots fired where nobody was hit, fortunately, because I didn’t see a shooting report from MPD.
Unrelated but MPD reported at 3:20am: “Shooting in the 1800blk of 9th St NW. [around S Street, NW] No lookout at this time.”
Update from MPD:
“Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch are investigating a homicide that occurred on Monday, August 23, 2021, in the 1800 block of 9th Street, Northwest.

“Dear PoPville,
The NIMBYs are out in full force against 18th Street Lounge. From 10th Street, NW near Blagden — what fresh hell is this? It would make me laugh if it wasn’t so troublingly alarmist.”
Ed. Note: Back in June we learned that Eighteenth Street Lounge (ESL) had signed a lease for its new location in Blagden Alley.
From an email:
“All-Purpose in Shaw, recently reopened for indoor dining, has launched a new Happy Hour that includes $5 beers, $7 wines by the glass, $9 cocktails and a $10 cheese pizza. The Happy Hour menu is available from 5 pm to 6 pm in the dining room and 5 pm to 7 pm at the bar. All-Purpose in Shaw is located at 1250 9th St NW, just across the street from the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
My car windows were smashed parked overnight at 9th and Q Streets on Sunday evening. Apparently many other cars as well. My father’s coworkers’ windows were smashed at 9th and O the same evening. Apparently, there’s a man that walks around offering to repair their windows which makes me suspect they break them and then offer to repair them as a scam.”

Thanks to SD for sending: “Last night around 10:15pm, came across this car that jumped the median and crashed into a pole–totally abandoned, no one inside. Pretty sure this is Rhode Island and Florida Ave, NW”

“Dear PoPville,
I’ve done some Googling and haven’t seen any updates on the Shaw Dog Park since January – all saying it’ll reopen with the skate park in August. Well, it’s August and I haven’t heard a thing. It looks like they’re still working on it.
I’m sure there are many others in the area that would want to know an update.”
Ed. Note: Jeffrey Burka sent us the photo above last week “getting close.”
