[quote=Anonymous]PG used to be THE destination for those who wanted to "make it out of the hood." I had a lot of classmates who lived in PG but used their relative's addresses to go to my school because it was easier for their parents to do pick up and drop off. We knew that once we graduated from elementary, we'd never see each other again because so many of them were going to use their "safer" middle schools. Once gentrification started, a lot of people sold and moved out to PG and Charles County (Waldorf) to buy houses that were way nicer than what they were used to. Those were the optional moves. DC started shutting down project complexes and raising rents so people started moving by force. PG slowly became more and more crime ridden. We always referred to it as Ward 9 sometimes in jest, sometimes as a jab. It depended on the context. It was "bougie" Ward 9 at first. Now it's ghetto Ward 9. [/quote]
