East of the River entire is "Anacostia" in much the same way that...<BR/><BR/>... everything from Florida Avenue to the river is "Capitol Hill",<BR/><BR/>... everything inside the triangle formed by the Red line, New York Ave and the MD boundary is "Brookland",<BR/><BR/>... everything from about Spring Road south to downtown is "Mid City".<BR/><BR/>There is clearly a need for geographical identifiers that are more specific than quadrants but less specific than quarter-mile-radius neighborhoods. And, well, "East of the River" is a mouthful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064659105461495134.post-69074484666214424072008-09-08T13:05:00.000-04:002008-09-08T13:05:00.000-04:00I am amazed that people lump all of southeast toge...I am amazed that people lump all of southeast together and call it Anacostia. Real DC natives know their territories and boundaries. It helps Anacostia residents to clearly map ou t Anacostia when it comes to development. Does the CVS, Safeway and Giant on Alabama really serve Historic Anacostia residents? We should have something within walking distance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
