support Crispus Attucks Park for *FREE* just by shopping online

Subject: Support Crispus Attucks Park for *FREE* just by shopping online!
Ho
ho ho to all of you lazy, yet well-intentioned shopaholics, who love both (1)
inputting your credit card on the web, and (2) enjoying the wonders of the
hidden community Park
at Crispus Attucks in Bloomingdale.
Let
me ask you: Do you love the convenience of shopping online? The seemingly
infinite selection and low prices that Amazon offers you? The thrill of
awaiting whether the U(S)PS person accidentally delivered your Amazon package
to a different address (>25% likely), and then scouring the neighborhood for
your missing delivery with a flashlight? Or do you simply cherish the
anguish of your Metro ride home from work, while knowing full-well (maybe from
your MPD-sponsored Nest camera whose wifi connection, for once!, happened to
work this afternoon) that your package was actually delivered to your
front stoop this time around -- but worrying to death that a Christmas porch
pirate might get to it before you get off this overcrowded red line train and
race home?!
Then
I have a great proposal for you this season (and for all of 2020 and beyond):
Shop on http://SMILE.amazon.com and select “Crispus Attucks
Development Corporation” as your favorite charity.
If
you are unfamiliar with AmazonSmile (I was, too, until this year), it’s
simple: Amazon will donate 0.5% of your purchases to the charity of your
choice, paid out of ITS OWN POCKET.
At
no cost to you. No skin off your back. Simple.
Free. For a good cause. Jeff Bezos money, going straight to
the lovely Crispus Attucks Park (whose upkeep is reliant on donations)...
So,
head on over to http://smile.amazon.com, choose Crispus Attucks
Development Corp. as the recipient 501(c)(3) charity, and... shop away,
dear digital Consumer!
PS:
If you're on a mobile device, this will not work on the Amazon
app. You must use a web browser and replace the "WWW." with
"Smile." Unfortunately, Amazon hasn't incorporated that option
into its app yet, which remains commercial-only, with all of your money going
straight to Jeffy B...

The
Northeast Boundary Tunnel (NEBT) project has had a negative impact on local
businesses. The construction along Rhode Island Avenue and Florida
Ave impedes pedestrian access, reduces parking, reduces ride share
drop-offs, and restricts the view of storefronts from the street.

businesses in Bloomingdale need our support. Bloomingdale offers a variety of
retail within walking distance of our community. Types of Local Businesses in
and around Bloomingdale include:

whoo! 7th Annual DC Wassail in Bloomingdale, Eckington & Truxton Circle -- Saturday, 12-14-2019
After seven years in Columbia Heights and Park View, this year's DC Wassail will be in the Bloomingdale, Eckington, and Truxton Circle area! A wassail is an English holiday tradition where singers go from door to door, offering songs and good cheer in exchange for treats. We run ours a bit differently; we pre-select a few houses to go to, prepare hot drinks at those places, and show up to each with a crowd of 60-70 revelers.
This year's wassail will be on Saturday, December 14, from about 2-5pm. We will have a short practice session at 1:30pm at the Kennedy Recreation Center, 1400 7th St NW, before heading to the neighborhood. Songbooks will be provided; all you need is yourself and a travel mug!
Our rough schedule of stops is: 2:15pm alley between Bates and Q NW, 100 block, 2:45pm unit block of R St NW, 3:15pm 1st St. between U and V NW, 3:45pm unit block of V St NW, 4:15pm 100 block of U NW, and at 4:45pm we will sing to the apple trees at Anxo Cidery & Pintxos Bar, 300 Florida Ave. NW. Our Facebook event for this year's wassail is here, and you can read a bit about us in this article in last year's Post.

Subject: We had 2 men hang out in alley and shoot guns last night PM
Yesterday at 6pm 2 men hung out behind houses Seaton place NW, in the alley with T St NW, after loitering a few minutes, they took aim and fired multiple shots toward T St.
Each had a gun.
And then they set off running toward T St.
Police came to the scene in numbers within 2 minutes, and got camera footage but the men aren’t visible in the footage.
I would urge all neighbors to be vigilant about people hanging out at your alleys, and importantly. pressure the police at ward 3 to patrol the streets AND alleys
- around Seaton Pl. NW,
- the alleys between Seaton Pl & T St. NW,
- the church on T St. at the corner of North Capital - to hamper shootouts of this sort, bolder than usual considering the early evening hour, that they loitered and took aim patiently.

Barred in DC weighs in on the ABRA order for Pub and the People
See these tweets:
.@PubandthePeople finally gets its basement (with live music/DJs) approved. There were neighbor complaints but basically ABRA said none of them followed the settlement agreement complaint process so GTFO. Also pic.twitter.com/ADSYYkgHaS— Barred in DC (@barredindc) December 6, 2019
So I know this is too many words for yall so, I'll tell ya:— Barred in DC (@barredindc) December 6, 2019
1) ABRA said that the public urination complaints about the bar were bunk because they were adding 2 bathrooms
