some renderings from Miller Development's Beale Square project in the alleys bouned by Adams, Flagler, W and 2nd St NW

It has been a while since we had thought about the new development project in the lot bounded by the alleys of Adams Street NW, Flagler Place NW, W Street NW and 2nd Street NW.

The developer is Miller Development.  The plan is for five new rowhouses. 

See the latest from Miller Development -- looks like the project now has a name: Beale Square.

Bloomingdale dog walker Jason Allen Jordan wanted for Arlington, Va murder -- still at large

Note that Jason Allen Johnson has been a dog walker in the neighborhood over the past few years.

Jason Allen Johnson

Man Shot, Killed at Arlington House Party, Suspect at Large

Arlington County, Virginia, police are searching for a man they say was involved in a murder at a house party early Sunday morning.
     

About 3:30 a.m., officers found 23-year-old Michael Gray, of Manassas, suffering from a gunshot wound at a house in the 6300 block of 29th Street North in the Williamsburg neighborhood, police said. They immediately started performing CPR on Gray.
                         

He was taken to Inova Fairfax Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
            

Arlington County police are looking for 37-year-old Jason Allen Johnson, of D.C. He is wanted for murder for "his role" in Gray's killing, police said.

Johnson is considered armed and dangerous, according to police. He is described as a black man who is 5 feet 5 inches and weighs about 145 pounds. Police said he was last known to be headed toward Maryland.
               

Investigators said the shooting stemmed from a dispute at the house party.
         

Anyone with information about Johnson's whereabouts is asked to call 911 immediately and should not approach him.
