This was a good weekend for the block.
Brian was cleaning the sidewalk and streets.
My new neighbors were tearing apart/rehabbing the house, meeting other neighbors, and playing with the neigborhood kids.
The sun was shining.
Kelly showed me a bullet they had pulled out of the floor as they have been rehabbing the house and liked the info I had on the 1930 version of the neighborhood.
All the neighbors (okay not all we still have the anti-social types) were out talking to each other, exchanging information, it was beautiful.

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.
