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.

When Safe Shores was doing the rounds in the community over two years ago I recall that they specifically said that it is NOT residential. I think that these particular dog park opponents are peddling bad information.
I'd like to see something happen w/ the suggestion of turning the lot at n. cap and bates into a dog park. That seems like it could be a huge step for the area. -Mike
OPM Director Robin Eve Jasper stated at the July 9 public meeting (following her unpublicized meeting 3 days before with the ECCA ...) that there would probably be space left over on the vacant lot for uses other than parking. That final decision should happen any day now given the 30 day time frame she gave.
These dog park opponents not only don't read very well (i.e. SafeShores.org and FriendsOfBundy.net info or DPR dog park regulations), but they don't listen very well either.
Why even bother speaking to them?
