Witnesses report what they're calling a "road rage" incident in the Trader Joe's parking garage last weekend.
Witnesses last weekend reported a road rage incident in the Old Town Trader Joe’s parking garage. One witness tweeted that there were at least three cars with major damage. “Impact would have killed pedestrians, IMO. No joke” wrote Scott Canady.

Charges could be pending for child's mother.
A 1-year-old girl was left unattended in an unlocked car in the Old Town Trader Joe’s parking garage for about 30 minutes on Saturday before Alexandria police found the baby’s mother. A Trader Joe’s employee contacted the store manager after noticing the child alone in a station wagon sitting in a car seat around noon. The manager then contacted the police, who quickly arrived on the scene with an EMS crew.

D.C. area stores take one house brand off the shelves and offer refunds.
Trader Joe’s corporate officials say they are acting “out of an abundance of caution” and ordering the recall of one type of its house brand peanut butter over salmonella concerns. “Trader Joe’s Creamy Salted Valencia Peanut Butter” should not be eaten, the Monrovia-based specialty grocery chain said. “We have no confirmed information that suggests this peanut butter is unsafe to eat,” the company stated.
