*Small confession = I live in bmore and am happily married but... I often regret not dipping my penis in some of them fine ethiopian mamacitas down there in the nations capital. they all over the place and are almost always dimes, even the low budget ones at hotels and gas stations and shyt
This is the only thing hold the A back.
And GEORGIA, not just Atlanta, but the state of Georgia will be at least 50/50 Black in 10 years
PG and parts of Mo County.
I agree with you 100% here. DC is probably the easiest city to find your way around because it's all numbers and letters. It almost impossible to get lost..Cuz you ain't hip to them hallways and cuts.
I don't understand what's so hard about the layout for yall its literal as fukk. Yall ain't learn North/South/East/West shyt? I know Mo County schools was top flight but. Nah all jokes aside, that's literally all you have to know and it's simple. "If you travel south which way do you turn to go east" type shyt. That and paying attention to the number and letter streets cuz that tells you how close you're getting to downtown if you're going north to south. That's how literal DC is with it's layout aside from your SSW SSE type streets that are diagonal and even those are simple.
Yall OTs just ain't hip that's why DC so weird, mind you I grew up in Maryland so my knowledge of DC streets ain't shyt to a real live Washingtonian but I know enough to not be up outta there.
...uh I'm on 3rd street NW and I need to go to 9th street NW so go west 6 blocks.
...uh I'm on 3rd street NW and I need to go to 9th street NE go 3 blocks east to grit to the middle and so go east 6 blocks more.
If you know your Abc s you know how far north/south you are.
Beyond Z one syllable street names are further north then you get 2 syllables street names for further north followed by 3... How hard can that be?!?!

Lotta good points in this thread #salute.
Lived in DC area over 10 years moved to California over 10 years ago.
Still got lots of business and fam in DC Area but YES if you wanna know how gentrification gets down DC is the model.
You could feel the first wave in the mid 1990's really when Friendship Heights tried to outlaw smoking cigarettes EVERYWHERE, like even walking outside. That law lasted 2 weeks but to think it actually passed I was like "WTF".
Then Dupont Circle got too expensive to live in so the gays, artists and bohemians started creeping up into Addams Morgan.
Then the creep continued across Conn Ave into Columbia Heights then down into U Street. I remember all this like it was yesterday cuz those were my regular stomping grounds. My homie has a house in Columbia Heights that he got for $200k in the 90s, that joint is worth $2mil now no bull$hit. When my girl started going to Catholic University I started seeing it more in NE over by Brookland and that Rhode Island/Michigan Ave corridor that went into Maryland.
Lot of OTs that went to GW, Georgetown, College Park or GMU started getting places all over there.
I love DC but I'm used to gentrification so I know how to love the new and old without getting all salty about it.
I don't have a problem with white people moving anywhere but the evil in gentrification is whats happening with the banks how they are giving whites bigger and better loans and property owners are letting more whites get leases. I remember when Chevy Chase Banks and Bank of America LOST a giant class-action suit for showing preferential treatment to whites with loans and $hit. This happened in the mid 1990s.
They was sending in fake families and couples, one white and the other black with the SAME credit, job, and cash qualifications and 70% of the colored folks were being denied at these banks. $hit was so foul, this was during the very beginning of the predatory lending stuff too.
People from DC remember how all the black suburbs along Conn Ave, the old african embassy houses and 16th Ave were moving into PG County and suddenly their old homes in DC were worth millions , how that happen?
All that being said ... best move I ever made was going to California
The Bay Area specifically SF and Oakland are turning to this DC gentrification model slowly I been seeing it. It's already $100k or better
to live in SF.....

Real ass post right here, I use to live in KDY from 93-99, and I swear I did not see one White person ever South of 16th street. But now it's like what.
I catch the bus home now instead of the train(to save some money), and I catch the S2 down 16th. And in all my time catching that bus in the 90's and early 2000's. I never saw White folks go further than say Park and Columbia(unless the Legg Mason tennis tourny was going on). But now they riding the bus further and further down.
