[quote=jsteele]A lot of the black middle class moved from DC to Prince George's to find better neighborhoods. However, they retained links to their previous DC neighborhoods due to family and, frequently, church ties. It was not unheard of for these PG residents to rely on grandparents' addresses to get into DC schools. As a result, PG would sometimes be referred to as "Ward 9". Sometimes this was meant in good humor, at other times as an insult. It all depended on context. I believe that Alsobrooks was trying to stress that PG has its own identity and its own positive aspects and is not just an appendage of DC. [/quote]
