1 P St, NW
“Dear PoPville,
Do you know what is being built on 1 P st NW. I walk by everyday on my way to work but I can’t understand what they are trying to build here. The permit information doesn’t say much.”
And down the block at North Capitol and P St, NW we have some more trompe l’oeil:
Anyone know if someone’s taken this lease too?

This rental is located in Truxton Circle:
The listing says:
“Because of a professional opportunity in Europe we are sad to leave our house in NoMA behind. This beautiful 3 bedroom 3.5 bathroom townhouse is located in vibrant Truxton Circle / NoMa – just a short walk away from two metro lines (red and yellow/green), shopping (harris teeter, union market) and some of DC’s finest coffee shops (big bear, busboys and poets) and restaurants (rustik tavern, beau thai). Even Chinatown and the H Street corridor are within walking distance.
The entire house has a unique, modern flair with black bamboo flooring on two floors. The big, open kitchen has been completely redone in 2011 including all new appliances, as have all bathrooms. The ground floor has large windows giving it more light than most other townhouses. The house includes a complete English basement (with kitchenette and bathroom) with separate entrance. The house has a back deck and a small patio that can be used as a parking spot for one car.
We are renting the house furnished or unfurnished.”

This 3 bed/3.5 bath is going for $3,200/Mo.
A reader reports:
“There were shots fired at 3rd and P st NW maybe 30 mins ago, and now heavy police presence/road blocked. [as of 4pm] The police appear to have completed the site investigation and police tape is down on P ST and 3rd ST NW.”
Update from MPD:
“Fifth Police District Units responded to and investigated the Sound of Gunshots, 3rd & P St. NW, 12:37 PM, CCN: 019-245. A Witness stated that a group of folks were standing at New Jersey and P St. NW when a dark 4dr sedan pulled onto P St. from NJ Ave and fired several shots. We recovered evidence that supports that claims that shots were fired.
We firmly believe that this was not the case of an armed individual firing randomly.”

“Dear PoPville,
Le Fini opened at NJ Ave & Q, NW. It’s a new salon, multi-cultural, multi-age, multi-gender…they do EVERYONE’s hair. Was nicely impressed by my visit with my daughter yesterday.”
Well it’s not a beer garden but this is a nice improvement to the strip!
From @DCPoliceDept Saturday night:
“1D- Shooting, 2223 hrs, 1200 North Capitol St NW. Adult male shot in the arm and leg, conscious and breathing. (2) Suspects stopped.”
Update from MPD:
“Last night at approximately 10:20 PM, First District Officers were in the unit block of L St NW when they heard the sound of gunshots. Officers converged on the area and found a victim in the unit block of M St NW suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and requested DCFEMS; other officers observed a vehicle fleeing the scene at a high-rate of speed and pursued the vehicle. The pursuit continued through the Northwest One area, eventually terminating back in Sursum Corda, where two suspects bailed out and fled on foot. Those suspects were subsequently apprehended after a foot chase.
The victim was transported to an area hospital, where he was admitted with non-life threatening injuries. The suspects from the fleeing vehicle were arrested for Unauthorized Use of a Vehicle and the First District Detectives are continuing their investigation of both the shooting and the suspects from the vehicle.
This offense is under investigation by the First District Detectives Office, who can be reached on (202) 299-2025. Anyone with information can also call the police at (202) 727-9099. Anonymous information may be submitted to the department’s TEXT TIP LINE by text messaging to 50411. Additionally, please call 911 if you observe suspicious persons or activities”
Early Friday night there was also a shooting at North Capitol and New York Ave, NW. In that case MPD has since reported:
“a shooting occurred within that block yesterday evening. The suspect involved in the shooting was subsequently and quickly captured. The case is closed.”
“Dear PoPville,
I was looking at condos on Saturday afternoon in Bloomingdale (near Dunbar) when a car raced past and slammed into a house [1st and Bates St, NW] while trying to make a left turn. Three kids jumped out of the car and went running into the neighborhood. What was really strange was that there were two cop cars following them but the cops stopped before reaching them and then turned away from the direction the kids ran in – and didn’t stop to see if anyone got hurt by the car slamming into the house. Another cop showed up awhile later but it seemed really strange the cops wouldn’t do anything while they were on the scene. Do you have any insight?”
From MPD:
“At approximately 10:00 am, MPD responded to the 1400 block of N. Capital Street, NW for the report of a robbery. Upon arrival, the victim was located out front suffering from an apparent gunshot wound to the neck area. Subsequent investigation revealed the victim was injured during the commission of a robbery perpetrated by two individuals.
The victim was transported to an area hospital for treatment.
The case is currently under investigation and anyone having information is asked to call our Command Information center at (202) 727-9099″
