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.

we've had people killed on florida avenue (remember the accident a few years back where an SUV ran over a small honda and crashed into one of the houses next to the ledroit gate) and there are so many accidents between that point and 1st street NW that i've lost count.
the city has to do something to slow traffic down through that stretch. a camera like the one in front of galludet should be installed in both directions to encourage some of the speeders to slow down.
