Fire on 14th Street NW

Be advised for your evening commute of a serious fire at 2209 14th Street NW, which is a small retail space. Fire officials have closed 14th Street NW between V Street and Florida Ave., along with part of the intersection at 15th St. NW and W St. NW. Avoid this area if possible on your commute home. Don't take a 50-line bus if you can help it. UPDATE: We've heard this space used to be a dollar store, but it was vacated to make way for an expansion of the nearby YMCA.

PoP says it's vagrants breaking in and setting fires there. hurry up and get the new place built, YMCA. kthxbai.

That's the Perseus Project. Shouldn't the developers take some responsibility for keeping troublemakers out of their construction site? Why have they waited so long to demo those buildings fronting 14th St.? Thanks, Perseus, for giving our neighborhood some nice places for crackheads to squat.

Tons of armed security at the Navy Yard Metro this morning. Any ideas on what might be going on?
