Blackout

Candles and brick wall
Originally uploaded by In Shaw

Yesterday I and my neighbors experienced our annual blackout. Luckily the number of dairy products in the fridge were few and the freezer and fridge were stuffed to the brim. So hopefully, everything kept everything else cool. However, I'm throwing out the milk.
Because the nighttime temps were 77F, and I had nothing pressing to do, I enjoyed the night, sat outside. Later my new neighbor and roommate joined me and we drank wine and chatted till about 11PM. The power failure lasted about 6-8 hours.

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.
