Editor's Notebook: Carjacking, Ribbon Cutting and More

A look at a few of the most notable stories this week on Georgetown Patch.

Carjacking and Chase End in Georgetown Crash

In the middle of a rain storm Tuesday, a car crashed into the sidewalk at Wisconsin Avenue and Q Street, NW in Georgetown. The car was involved in a carjacking and police reportedly identified four individuals involved, making several arrests.

A resident of 32nd Street told Patch that one of the suspects went through several backyards on the 1500 block of 32nd Street to avoid capture and even broke into a home to steal a coat to cover himself.

Human Remains were Historic and We've Got Pictures

During routine construction to dig a driveway last week, contractors accidentally discovered a human skeleton buried about five feet below the foundation of a Georgetown home on the 3300 block of Q Street, NW.

Dr. David Hunt, a museum specialist in physical anthropology in the Department of Anthropology at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, told Patch that the bones were "obviously historic in nature."
