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.

Off topic, but did you happen to see the story in the Metro Section Sunday about Ben's Chili Bowl? Or, the other side of rising real estate values: the assessment for taxes goes from about 500K to 1.1 cool million. They will have to sell a lot more hot dogs.

I don't believe MPD releases crime data in an easily-parseable format like CPD does via Citizen ICAM in Chicago, so doing a DC Crime + Google Maps thing would be a lot harder. You can still get updates on your precinct via CrimeReports.com, though, and maybe if enough people ask MPD for an ICAM-like feed (contact info for the relevant person is on that CrimeReports page), a Google Map tie-in would become possible.
(We do have gas price and sex offender mapping here, though.)
