The Borderstan blog alerts us to what appears to be a string of armed robberies in the past week in their Logan/Dupont/Shaw overlap area. Three different gun-involved muggings have happened along R Street NW between New Hampshire and 13th, and another happened the other night at 11th Street NW and Vermont Ave. We also heard about at least one other armed robbery Thursday night, right around 14th and T Streets NW. Stay alert in the 'Stan this weekend, DCist readers.

Car Pushed Into Anacostia River By Train


"Borderstan" = FAIL
Seriously. I miss the days when everything within the District boundary was "Downtown DC."
And I miss the days when people who lived in neighborhoods actually bothered to know something about their neighborhood (such as the name), rather than thinking the only options are making something up or calling it "Downtown DC."
It's going to be a long summer.
R street between New Hampshire Ave and 13th? Huh? That's a 5 block area. Perhaps you meant something more specific?
