Fun news. Don't know which sister got carjacked, but most of the members of that particular convent, part of the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matará, go to the same Mass as I do at the Franciscan Monastery (just 1/2 block away from their house).
Having said that, this is actually pretty surprising to me. Brookland (the specific neighborhood) has actually been seriously cleaned up over the past several years. Most of the crap is confined to the other side of Monroe and is consistently being pushed farther toward Rhode Island.

I usually go into the monastery quickly and don’t linger on the street in that area.

Boy, nothing is sacred anymore. Jesus said it best “ men’s hearts wax cold at the end of the age”.

Glad they caught the carjacker.
The nun is OK.

But as in any big city, the trash can wander in.
Civilized Brookland is pushing south. Capitol Hill is pushing north. Trinidad and Ivy City are flipping. Even Brentwood (Brentwood!!!!) is starting to flip, but the cluster of housing projects on Rhode Island will hold things back. The Rhode Island corridor as a whole is improving. The corridors along the rail lines are zoned light industrial, and that's a complication for the housing (though a lot of jobs). I do think we will see that whole problem area squeezed out in the years to come.
