Have a Happy New Year

I just want to wish you all a happy new year.
In the New Year....
May your alley be free of prostitutes
May you never find crackheads on your front porch
May your home value go up just enough to get a good loan but not so high that you're taxed out of the city
May you find peace with your neighbors
May your plumbing magically fix itself
May your gardens explode with fruit and color
May the abandoned houses get fixed and occupied
May the police always show up less than 20 minutes after you called them
May all your neighborhood construction get completed on time
May you find parking in front of your house
and may you have a blessed 2005.

History, me complaining, history, stuff about the immediate hood (Truxton Circle) and the surrounding neighborhood (Shaw), gentrification, demographics, and some more history.

In Shaw (now with more gentrification) is about the changes going on in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC. Mainly the eastern section of the neighborhood that is still "transitional". Topics range from horrid community meetings, to culture clashes, to remodeling and the unromantic view of living in an old house. This Old House, bite me! Please note that this is a personal blog and does not represent anyone else's opinion except my own, not my employer, not my universities, not that of my family, church, friends or neighbors. Just me, so I retain the right to post or not to post any irresponsible tripe that comes into my head.
