I love DC. This is one of the few days. I was able to bike to Dupont Cirlce. Can't do that from the burbs! Also once I got to Dupont there was a brass band playing the kind of music that I heard in the Holiness churches. I wanted to dance, but instead I just put a dollar in the pail. This makes up for the pissy cashier who did understand me because of the language barrier.
History, me complaining, history, stuff about the immediate hood (Truxton Circle) and the surrounding neighborhood (Shaw), gentrification, demographics, and some more history.
