This great one from Capitol Hill could probably use a few touch ups but I’m completely enamored by the room up top:

MPD reports:

“This evening [Sunday], at approximately 4:35pm, two armed suspects discharged their firearms toward a group of individuals in the 1200 block of I Street SE, on the street outside of the Potomac Gardens complex. One victim was struck and suffered non-life threatening injuries. The investigation is on-going at this time.

I would like to thank all of the concerned citizens who quickly called 911. The ability to get our officers and investigators on the scene quickly to secure the crime scene and locate witnesses is critical in these types of investigations. Thanks for being great community partners.”

There is very little info available on this incident at the moment. It took place early Sunday evening late Sunday afternoon. TBD reports that the rider:

“was stabbed in the neck at turnstile. D.C. Fire transported the victim priority one, and a suspect is unknown so far.”

I’m told that Metro Transit Police is investigating the incident. More details as they become available.

“Dear PoP,

Culpepper, my 6-year-old sable cat (about 9 lbs) went missing Friday afternoon around 10th and S St, NW in Shaw. He’s an indoor cat and has no outdoor expertise. He’s very friendly and my favorite companion.

My cat sitter, Donna Preskill, is reachable at

Back in October a reader writes in about an effort to get Tom’s Eggs sold at the YES! Organic Market at Taylor and Georgia Ave, NW. That effort was unsuccessful but Tom writes me some good news:

“Kera, owner of Domku restaurant, 821 Upshur street, NW has agreed to allow me to sell my eggs at her location.
Eggs will be available just inside the domku front door. Hours will be every Sunday 0900am till noon. We will begin this Sunday, November 28th.”

Tom will also continue to sell his eggs at the Dupont Farmers Market. This is great news and very cool of Domku. For those who were fans of the eggs at the Petworth Farmers Market – here’s your opportunity to get them year round. Nice.

And for those looking for pickled eggs you may have to wait for spring…

“Dear PoP,

We have 3.5 gallons of used peanut oil available for free from frying our turkey…we thought someone w/ a bio diesel car might be interested in picking some up.

Thanks – Megan (in Mt. Pleasant)”

If anyone is interested – email me at princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com and I’ll put you in touch with Megan.

He writes, “Two of the side dishes we had for Thanksgiving this year were sweet potato casserole, and sauteed/roasted broccoli, both of which came out good and were very tasty. My wife made these, btw, must give proper credit.”

“Dear PoP,

On Q St off of New Jersey, I was awakened today at 7AM. There were cops surrounding the ally behind Kipp Will Charter telling someone to come out with their hands up. It is now 9AM and Q St and P St blocked off . I heard that there are three armed men in one of the houses on Q street. It looks like warzone here. They are telling everyone to stay inside.”

MPD alert says:

“Police activity in the 400 block of Q Street NW, street closures is on New Jersey Avenue from R Street to P Street NW. Please use alternate streets.”

And don’t forget- If anyone cooks a particularly good looking Turkey or has a good thanksgiving scene be sure to upload to the PoPville flickr pool or send in an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com.

If you have any fun or interesting animal/pet photos or news please shoot me an email to princeofpetworth(at)gmail(dot)com with ‘Animal Fix’ in the title and say what neighborhood you’re from or upload to the PoPville flickr pool. I can’t guarantee I’ll get them all posted but I’ll do my best.  I’m aware not everyone loves pets.  But they bring me (and others) a lot of pleasure.  It’s cool, hold tight, a new post is coming in a half hour, you can make it!

The Craigslist ad says:

“Fully furnished, spacious penthouse (6th floor) with great light, five balconies, and expansive city views in historic building at 3426 16th Street (The Northbrook II). Features hardwood floors, new kitchen, a/c, w/d, large closets and beautiful appointments. Can be used as one or two bedroom depending upon your needs.”

You can see a virtual tour here.

I was intrigued by the declaration of a “Sun-drenched Unique Penthouse”. Well, I’m glad I looked. Does $2900 sound right for this 2 bedroom?

“Dear PoP,

We have a bunch of old clothing that is honestly too ragged/well-worn to give to Goodwill, but it still seems like a shame to throw it in the trash. Do you know of a clothing recycler or rag sorter in the DC area? I’ve googled around (and even called Goodwill) without any luck.”

Do you guys have any suggestions?
