I've been enchanted with Anacostia the first time my partner and I drove through it and I noticed messages of deep meaning such as "tell me something i used to know but forgot," and "you've changed" posted on the windows of empty buildings. Still don't know who put those messages up, but seeing those words was like finding unexpected treasure: the most beautiful and honest thing I've seen in DC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064659105461495134.post-31056374726432382922011-11-12T14:59:29.780-05:002011-11-12T14:59:29.780-05:00David, thanks for reporting all of the updates and...David, thanks for reporting all of the updates and "going ons" in Anacostia. You really blew up the blog spot, and I always checked you out. I think we're at a point where a lot has been learned, info shared, community galvanized, etc, due, in part, to your blog.
