[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not advocating for any position and personally don't know the answer, but I do wonder why upper NW around 16th would be called the Gold Coast. It is a nice enough area I guess, but hardly what one would normally associate with that name. Historical artifact? Something else? Genuinely curious.[/quote] I think I read somewhere that the name harkens back to West Africa's Gold Coast. Also, there's this description from Wiki: "The northern and central portions of 16th Street — and the Crestwood neighborhood, in particular — have for a half century been the chosen neighborhood of accomplished African Americans in Washington. Known colloquially as "The Gold Coast", these sections of 16th Street are lined with early 20th-century Tudor mansions.[3]" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/16th_Street_NW [/quote]
