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.

Sorry, we live too close to the historic section 8 ghetto, accordingly we are not going to the door when crime scouts masked as Halloween doorbell ringers arrive.

We had a very light turn-out this year. Only two groups of kids stopped by.
thanks for the great posts, mari. we had a great halloween on bates st with lots of tiny ninjas, kittycats, princesses, and superheros. And at least some of the uncostumed teenagers made a vague effort (sparkly stockings, etc.) turned off lights at 9, no problems.--neda
