You know how you can tell the high-crime parts of DC? Go into a 7-11. If they hide the big gulp glasses and the coffee cups behind the register, you know it's a bad part of town.
Trinidad and Ivy City are flipping.

I presune you’ve already eaten at Union Market. If not, do so. And check out one of the new restaurants in Ivy City. That’s a work in process, but the whole place is being rebuilt, complete with an organic supermarket and condos in the old Hechts warehouse.
