A unique bathroom wallpaper at Maxwell’s in Shaw. Incredible selection of wine by the glass.

@BarredinDC It could be such a great amenity to the park!

@keridouglas Most pictured properties are church owned and have been vacant for several decades
…

[Shaw Rez @ShawRez]

Sigh.

Decades-vacant, fire-damaged buildings like these represent a huge missed opportunity for the neighborhood.

Feels like we should expect stronger stewardship — and clearer paths to bring them back into use.

Spotted: New nail salon Tips coming to old solid core space in the 1800 block of 7th NW in #shaw

[Shaw Rez @ShawRez]

Not super jazzed about a fast food chain here, but bet it’ll do well. Who remembers Mockingbird Hill in this spot?

[Eat DC @eat_dc]

Wingstop is coming to 1839 7th St NW in Shaw. They're also planning a @BarracksRow location at 406 8th St SE.

2G06! Please see the picture about the assault that happened at 7th and M St. NW yesterday. Per MPD: The Victim stated they were standing at the corner of 7th Street NW and M Street NW facing east when the subject and the second subject approached them on e‑bikes. According to the Victim, the subject then shot them four times with a BB gun, striking them in the upper right arm, left cheek, and twice in the upper chest. The subject and the second subject fled northbound on the e‑bikes. The Victim declined additional medical treatment on scene and sustained swelling to their arm, along with redness to their face and chest. Stay aware and stay safe!

Thinking about #Shaw: DC Archives / Naylor Court

With the Archives relocating to UDC, this historic building needs a major overhaul and a new use (and windows!).

Naylor Court has seen some great residential conversions — is that the direction to lean into?

[DC Fire and EMS Department @dcfireems]

Update vehicle into structure 7th & Q Sts NW. Bus has been removed from the building. No major structural integrity issues. No shoring required by @dcfireems. Units will be clearing the scene. #DCsBravest

[Barred in DC @BarredinDC]

I’m not 100% sure but it appears that this was a pic from a bus that wrecked into same location in November 1997

[Shaw Rez @ShawRez]

Sending good vibes to all involved in the @wmata bus collision into @AmbarCapHill #shaw. If memory serves me, a bus also hit /badly damaged this building decades ago.

[DC Fire and EMS Department @dcfireems]

Update crash with vehicle into building 7th & Q Sts NW. Bus & vehicle involved with bus partially inside unoccupied restaurant. 4 patients being evaluated. Collapse team evaluating structural stability. Firefighters have secured utilities & searched structure. #DCsBravest

Looks like Foster House at 801 Rhode Island Ave NW is boarded up. Can’t find any info online about a sale or new redevelopment plans. Here’s hoping this prominent dilapidated property sees new life. #Shaw

[Shaw Rez @ShawRez]

Thinking about #Shaw: Kennedy Rec Center

There’s been investment & programming but is it meeting its full potential as a neighborhood anchor?

Feels like a real opportunity to reimagine the park areas especially: more uses, better placemaking & a more beautiful/engaging space.
