[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  Agree with 9:48.  We've already been at Shepherd for a bit with a kid in early elementary.  A few of my kid's classmates live in multi-generational households in SP or Colonial Village/North Portal Estates.  Also, we see grandparents walking kids to school, and at pickup.

The newcomers to the neighborhood do skew whiter but there are still AA families that have moved in recently, like ourselves, along with other groups.  There are also a ton (proportionally) of interracial families,and also transracial adoptee families in the neighborhood.  Agree the demographics are changing, but I don't see it becoming majority white anytime soon.  Right now I'd say it's one of the most diverse neighborhoods of the Deal/Wilson feeders.[/quote]

Forgot to mention that the neighborhood has actually always been fairly well-integrated, by design, since the sixties.  Not all the elderly neighbors are AA--there are also white families who've been here for decades.  Many homes change hands several times between white and black families.  For example, we bought our home from another AA family of journalists who were relocating for a job opportunity; before that a rabbi owned the home, and before that a white physician was the homeowner[/quote]
