Fair enough. Enjoy it! |
Huh? No one refers to it as that either. Way to out yourself. |
Are you bored? Have you nothing better to do? Address the Tenleytown Wawa fight, or move along. Thanks! |
Thank you Bye PIW Naked play in traffic Guy! Bye haze of MJ in the scaffolding of City Ridge, bye window smash and grabs, bye sad Target, bye ridiculously long escalator repair, bye WaWa fights!

Did you click the link? It's to the ANC website. Which has a whole page dedicated to the Civic Core. A term used by lots of folks in the area to describe that area w/ the library and community center. Here's another from a group of different backgrounds of area residents. Here's one from the Ward's CM. The ones who call it the Commons and bristle at the "civic core" are those that that signed the NIMBY petition and tried to enforce restrictive covenants established by a white supremacist over a 100 years ago. |
“Civic Core” is the term that planning is using. It is not a term that anyone actually uses. Like, “let’s go to the CC Civc Core” or “i’ll meet you at the Starbucks in CC Commons” is not something anyone has ever actually said. What it indicates to me is that you spend all of your time online and perhaps don’t live in the area so you don’t know anyone or talk to real people in the area. |
This sounds like more spin from the MAGA lobbyist who shills for DC “Smart Growth.” |
Real neighborhoods don’t have “civic cores.” Maybe corridors, clusters and other contrivances from DC planners do. |

You sound like someone who just moved to this city and only knows it from how you imagined it. Jews are new to upper-NW? Did you know a much larger portion of the student body of Jackson-Reed (then Wilson) was black a few decades back? The difference is, when I saw a student caught shoplifting ~2000 (for a couple items, not openly stripping shelves), a bunch of police cars immediately showed up. They took pictures of him and banned him from the store, took him to the office at Wilson, told him he was doing time if he was caught again. Nowadays? I saw a student openly grab something in front of a police officer. Even after the police officer stopped him, he acted like it wasn't a problem, and just said he didn't have any ID on him. The lawlessness is what's new. If you think black students are new to Jackson-Reed, then you really have no clue about the area. |
This ^ Yes, this describes it exactly. Not sure where the other PP is from. Maybe a neighborhood they never leave, so they are unfamiliar with the others. |
PP is projecting based on their own lack of knowledge of DC neighborhoods and history. See it all the time. |
Why the hell not? These kids know the city council and mayors office intentionally created conditions where kids face: - zero consequences. Why not break shit and rampage? Guess DC politicians want it this way. |
Thank you. |
I think it's pretty shocking that the police report just sort of dismissed the whole thing. I mean, police were on the scene, the whole thing must be on video feed and the kids easily identifiable. I don't care if they were black, white or some other color kid brawling--it's inappropriate and there should have been some kind of consequence for the ones brawling. Maybe it was a he said, she said situation--but names should have been taken and parents called. A warning at the least. How would a parent even know if their kid was involved? |
