Kim let us know last week:
“FYI scam going around where someone tells you they just moved here 4 law school & is locked out of their apt, needs $. I’ve been approached by a couple in Logan Circle who asked for $80 and to follow me to an ATM for more-just now same scheme on U street.”
Thanks to Walter for sending: “looks like NPS put out some signs to warn about Turkeys on the ART.”
Ed. Note: In November 2021 a reader recounted another incident on the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail near the aquatic gardens. More recently in February a reader recounted an unprovoked attack “had to get a tetanus shot and antibiotics”. In response to that post I received multiple messages about similar incidents.

From an email:
“Whether you call them bizcochos, bunuelos, sonho, roscas, or sopapillas, donuts are universally loved! That is why Miguel Guerra (father) and Miguel Guerra (son) are teaming up to re-create the special Latin American donut pop-up shop, which has been a nationwide hit in Colombia, Donisima.
