Brookland is certainly one of the hot markets for anyone looking for a detached home with a yard, as well as public transportation access to the rest of the city. Brookland is also surprisingly predictable regarding inventory stats…at least for the number of detached homes sold. (more…)

From a press release:

“DC-based members of the offbeat feminist humor site, The Toast, are holding a bake sale from 10 am until 1 pm on Saturday, June 24 at Brookland’s Monroe Street Farmers Market located at 716 Monroe Street NE (right behind the Brookland Metro Station). All funds raised at the sale will benefit DC Books to Prisons. This is the third sale to be held by DC toasties. The first two sales, held in late 2016, raised enough money to cover two weeks worth of book shipping costs, the organization’s main expense. (more…)

“There’s a large police presence around Turkey Thicket now regarding the shooting last night. No one was hurt but at least 20 rounds were fired. Several cars on 10th parked by the track had bullet holes.
