“Queen’s English got a stop work order after their new vestibule was installed on Sunday morning. Gotta at least love the positive attitude about their sticker! But the real question is how did someone get someone from DCRA to come out at 9:26 am on a Sunday? I’ve put in illegal construction requests for bricks falling during business hours and months later got a closed notification email and a “how did we do?” survey request.” (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
Up 14th there are several intersections where the crosswalk is now gone due to repaving (and repaying, and so forth). Any intel on when they’ll be restored? It’s hazardous as is because cars can’t tell where to stop and block the entire crosswalk area.”

The Washington Post reported:
“For weeks, all Clarence Venable could talk about was his new job. After his own brushes with the law, the 40-year-old was elated to begin training last month to be a violence interrupter, tasked with reducing the rising level of homicides in Southeast Washington.
Before he could interrupt that violence, however, it overtook him instead.”
From MPD:
“Detectives from the Metropolitan Police Department’s Homicide Branch are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred on Friday, November 22, 2019, in the 3200 block of Dubois Place, Southeast.
At approximately 2:01 pm, members of the Sixth District responded to the listed location for the report of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from gunshot wounds. DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services responded to the scene and transported the victim to an area hospital. After all life-saving efforts failed, the victim was pronounced dead.
The decedent has been identified as 40 year-old Clarence Venable, of Southeast, DC.”
Ron passes on these extremely sad reports:
“A man was shot and killed leaving an anti-violence meeting in Southeast D.C. Friday afternoon.” (more…)
