So you have clearly seen the transformation DC has gone through?
I remember when the line between the “Safe and Unsafe” part of town literally went right down 14th st. That line has been and is being pushed soo far to the north and east that soon the entire city be completely “Gentrified”. Well, at least 90% of it.
Oh, yeah. I used to be a writer on 14th Street before it began to ‘get better.’ I’ve lived in or around the area since 1964. Right now, I’m at Thomas Circle, not far from where the buildings were burned out in the 60s. As you must know, they are JUST NOW beginning to reflourish, all these years later. I do love D.C., I must admit. Despite the fact that I am a Marylander, D.C. is just as much my home. A lot to love and hate here.
