Professional Neighborhood?
I was listening to L. the neighborhood handyman talk to a new neighbor (whose name I have forgotten, but thats what the DC tax rolls are for) about how the neighborhood is becoming one for professionals, working folks with no kids. I think that became obvious with P&J preparing to sell the house. Face it they're cashing in for something more child-friendly, like a yard, and maybe schools that don't suck.

History, me complaining, history, stuff about the immediate hood (Truxton Circle) and the surrounding neighborhood (Shaw), gentrification, demographics, and some more history.

This started as InShaw Now With More Gentrification which eventually moved to blog.inshaw.com. Now I mainly do Truxton Circle History, as I am the #1 expert in that topic! I created other blogs to serve a need or an itch.
