From MPD:
“On November 9th, 2020, at approximately 1955 hours, there was a robbery that occurred in the 200 block of 10th Street NE. The Complainant reported that several unknown black male suspects exited a white in color SUV and approached her while she was walking in the block. At which point, the suspects demanded her property, struck her several times in the face, and ultimately took her purse and U.S. Government issued iPhone. The suspects then fled in the same white SUV suspect vehicle.
Shortly afterwards an attempted robbery occurred in the 400 block of 11th Street NE. The Complainant reported that two suspects exited a white in color Honda CRV while she was walking northbound in the 400 block of 11th Street NE. The suspects approached the Complainant and one of the suspects brandished a black in color revolver. The suspects demanded the victim’s purse and struck her with a closed fist in the face. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I don’t know if anyone else in the city experienced this but my neighbors (and the front of my house) were shot by drive by paint ballers last night on the hill (like a block behind the library of Congress). I don’t know if it was the beginnings of election mayhem or just bored teenagers but it was really something else.”

“If you find yourself by 6th St. SE and Independence Ave SE, walking to Eastern Market, look for an alleyway that is called Browns Court. It is a delightful combination of rowhouses that were built circa 1908, renovated carriage houses, and modem condominiums.”
