Shepherd Park is extremely quiet. There are sections of the neighborhood that has less street lighting than others. I find there is less crime here than in my old WotP neighborhood.

Because if you cross the street you are in SS.



Actually, there's nothing in the article that indicates this was the part of Shepherd Park close to Silver Spring.

She was robbed. plain and simple . . .





Are we allowed to say it was a person who was robbed? Can we identify the robber as a person if we're sure to not mention sex, race, approximate age, approximate height/weight, hairstyle, or clothing?

There's this thing called journalism in which facts are gathered to round out a story. The who, what, where, when. The newspaper does not merely print "A person committed a criminal act in the vicinity yesterday." And it matters because nannies are out and about during the day and other nannies and parents may want to take special care.

The street lights weren't on. The author is saying the city can fix the street lights, as the robberies occur when the lights are out

OP here again, can anyone translate this sentance

WASHINGTON - Since Christmas Eve, the normally quiet Shepherd Park neighborhood has seen a string of armed robberies and car break-ins.

Police officers have told neighbors it may have to do with something the city can fix.
