One store, 16 surveillance cameras, and two murders in seven months.

The Holiday Market is a community hub in a part of D.C. where danger is always present.

"Here, life is cheap." wapo.st/dcstoremurders

A convenience store in Southeast D.C. had been the site of two murders in seven months.

Three more people were shot and injured at the Holiday Market on Christmas Eve — the end of The District's most violent year in a decade. wapo.st/dcstoremurders

No longer called "the murder capital" of the United States, Washington is one of America’s most prosperous cities.

Yet the residents of Southeast remain submerged beneath a crime wave that the city has proved powerless to stop. wapo.st/dcstoremurders

FORTY BUCKS AND A DREAM: The lives of a Hollywood motel

The first thing one sees upon checking into the Saharan Motor Hotel is a man’s naked butt. He is lying on his stomach by the pool, shaved head glistening with sweat above a hairy back. Another angle reveals…/1

...he is wearing a black thong, hiked as high as anatomical constraints allow, which may be why the only other sunbather, an underdeveloped, fair-haired chap, has moved his plastic chaise as far away as possible, turning it every fifteen minutes for maximum UV exposure./2

I’m an avid history geek 🤓 and I got this idea from @GippersChutzpah!
My follower count is currently stuck in the mid ages. I’ll tweet some Jewish history milestones from along the years, according to my follower count. So come on, I’m 4 followers short of the first story...

@Israel

On 13/12/1204, Moshe Ben Maimon AKA #Maimonides (Greek) and Ha’Rambam (Hebrew), died at 69 in Egypt.
A Philosopher, Physician, Astronomer and one of most important #Jewish Scholars of all times.
Buried in Tiberias @Israel, upon final request to be buried in the ancient homeland

WOW! 3 followers away from yet another milestone of #JewishHistory!
So far we learned about some pogroms 😠(1171 France, 1190 England) and Maïmōnídēs dying 😢(1204 Egypt).
JewishHistory is filled with sorrow and darkness but it gets better in the 2nd half of the 20th century 😉
