1235 New York Ave, NW
On November 19th 2019 Alex gave praise to God: “NY Ave McDonalds Getting A Facelift!”
Thanks to Jeffrey for sending the update on Friday: “in exciting(?) news, the 13th and NY McDonald’s has reopened with lots of wood and ordering kiosks inside.”
I’m reminded of the wise words of Anthon St. Maarten:
“If we never experience the chill of a dark winter, it is very unlikely that we will ever cherish the warmth of a bright summer’s day.”
A reader shares some frustration and more details about the Saturday morning shooting inside the Capitol View building at 14th and Belmont Street, NW:
“The UDR building management has sought to downplay this incident from the start. They didn’t send any message to residents until more than 3 hours after the incident occurred with very little information. Then when they did follow-up several more hours later, the message is an unacceptable minimization of their knowledge of the ongoing problem with this unit, the seriousness of the incident itself and the severity of the damage caused.
Per the MPD on the scene, multiple rounds were fired within the fourth floor hallway. The gunfire was not confined to the unit. Please see the attached photo of the bullet hole in the elevator landing wall. If it’s not an “on-going threat to the community” now, it certainly was when bullets were flying in a common space at 9 a.m. on a Saturday! (more…)
