[quote=Anonymous][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] Think about it at a time when the city was very very different and black people in DC despite being the majority were limited in where they could live. There is also a Silver Coast[/quote] Correct. West of the Park was redlined so this was the location for wealthy and UMC AAs back in the days prior to the Fair Housing Act. PP, where is/was the Silver Coast?[/quote]
