Year to date, the median settled price for a home in DC is $540,000. (current national median home price is $244,100.) That DC median price includes rowhomes, detached homes, condos, and co-ops. The current median price for detached homes in the District of Columbia is $930,962.
That said, it is surprising that this relatively modestly priced detached single family home defied GDoN commenters’ expectations of selling the first week on the market. Read More

On Sunday, July 03, 2016, at approximately 9:46PM, Fifth District officers responded to a call for a shooting.

“We found a dog walking in the woodridge/brookland area. We have it in our backyard until the humane society arrives. The dog is very sweet. We provided food and water.
Update: The Washington Humane Society just came by to pick her up. I wish I had more time to wait before someone would reply to the post, but we have a dog in the house already.”

Thanks to a reader for sending:
“Signage and building permits for a new restaurant, across the street from Nido.”
Back in 2013 RIA Insider posted:
“The theme of the restaurant will be “Food for Thought” and will feature American style cuisine, using local and fresh ingredients, that Nina describes as “healthy dining” with made from scratch foods…they are currently working on the menu, which will contain several signature dishes including gluten-free and vegetarian options.”
Updates when they get closer to opening.
A reader wrote around 6:30pm last night:
“The police blocked off the grassy area between the bus bay and 10th street, and areas are roped off with crime scene tape.”
WUSA9 reported:
“According to Metro Transit police, the boy was stabbed in the torso just before 5 p.m. on the sidewalk near the bus bay outside the station.”
The also report a 17 year old was arrested.

From GW Public Safety around 3:30am:
“MPD shots fired incident. Two suspects in custody
“At approximately 3:30 a.m., the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) notified the George Washington University Police Department (GWPD) of an attempted carjacking in progress off-campus and that officers were chasing a suspect in the direction of GW’s campus. While still off-campus, MPD officers in pursuit fired in the direction of the fleeing suspects. While this incident was unfolding, a resident student called to alert GWPD of a suspicious person hiding near Munson Hall, located at 2212 I Street. GWPD relayed this information to MPD and in turn captured the suspect.
There is continued police presence along the I Street corridor between the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro station and 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue and along 23rd street while MPD finalizes its investigation. There may be some residual police activity that continues into the mid-morning.
Campus safety is a community responsibility, and we thank our community member for her awareness and actions, which led MPD to be able to make a quick arrest. Call GWPD at 202-994-6111 if you need assistance or notice anything unusual or suspicious.”

A reader reports:
“the store looks just about done and I ran into someone (presumably the franchise owner) checking the mail today and he said they’d be open in ten days.”
From an email:
“Nido [2214 Rhode Island Avenue, NE] Opening Menu
As we put the finishing touches on the restaurant space, Executive Chef Aaron Wright (Butterfield 9, Pesce, The Tabard Inn) has completed the opening menu.
The menu, which can be seen below, includes four sections: snacks, small plates, pastas, and large plates. It features Mediterranean influences and several vegetable-driven dishes.
Opening date and details to follow as soon as they are finalized.”
From Nido:
“Things have progressed quickly and we are hoping for a late May opening.
The purchase of the space located at 2214 Rhode Island Avenue NE was completed on January 23rd by E&K Real LLC of which Erin Lingle and I [Karlos Leopold] are the only members. Since that time we have completed most of the renovation. Currently we are installing finishes (attached are some images). The space, designed entirely by Erin, features hand-painted tile, natural wood and white-washed brick for a bright and cheery atmosphere. We expect to accommodate seating for 85 and a total occupancy of 99. In order to fulfill part of our sustainability goals we have retained GeoStellar to install solar panels on our roof. The remaining roof elements we hope to convert into a green roof. Finally, in conjunction with DC Facades, we expect a full renovation of the facade to begin soon.
Most excitingly, the process of convening our management team has begun and as such we have hired Aaron Wright as our Executive Chef. Originally from Iowa, Chef Aaron cut his teeth on Italian cuisine in his hometown. Since his late teens, Chef Aaron, has felt a desire to plan and prepare seasonal menus. He brings to Nido a vast culinary experience drawn from his tenure at Butterfield 9, Pesce and The Tabard Inn. We welcome all to reach out to Chef Aaron to discuss his experience and culinary plans for Nido.
-Karlos, Erin and Aaron”
