I really do not want to live in a place that is "ruled" by him, it really drives me away.<br />MARAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064659105461495134.post-55833549271175920612010-10-23T23:03:12.590-04:002010-10-23T23:03:12.590-04:00If so, hurry.

My opinion is that Anacostia has already been discovered and the nicer offerings seem to go fast. That being said, many properties are deplorable and need a lot of work.Anacostiaquenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064659105461495134.post-49305189566799294822010-10-14T22:22:51.164-04:002010-10-14T22:22:51.164-04:00It is the location what attracts me the most!

Buying in Anacostia could be an option.<br />MARAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064659105461495134.post-68249644213224145582010-10-14T08:23:44.477-04:002010-10-14T08:23:44.477-04:00We live in Anacostia, since 2004, and we absolutel...We live in Anacostia, since 2004, and we absolutely love it. The people actually speak and look out for each other. We love it so much, we purchased our 2nd home in Anacostia. While friends struggle to find smaller properties in much more expensive areas, typically involving longer commutes, we have access to everything from here.Anacostiaque@verizon.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064659105461495134.post-80194595146527204852010-10-13T08:30:45.554-04:002010-10-13T08:30:45.554-04:00Your blog is such an inspiration, it has made me l...Your blog is such an inspiration, it has made me look at Anacostia in such a different way...<br />I had always avoided passing through Anacostia, I felt uneasy every time I had to drive by just to get to DC. I live in Southern Maryland. My husband and I are actually planning going for lunch in Big Chair next time we visit DC.<br />It is so refreshing to see people like you and Charles Wilson caring so much about a neighborhood that is part of the nation's Capital.<br />Who knows? We have always been interested in owning something in DC but saw the prices just prohibitive.<br />MARAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
