[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are familiar with the area, one side of S. Capitol has been revitalized/gentrified and is commonly referred to as Navy Yard (the side with Nats Park and the Navy Yard) and then there is the other side of S. Capitol, the side with Audi field, public housing projects, boarded up and abandoned buildings, that look like east Baltimore.  It is amazing how one side of S. Capitol is all shiny and literally cross the street and it is a sad war zone.

Same street.  [/quote]

Where are the boarded up and abandoned buildings in SW? Take your time, we're all ears.[/quote]

Glad you’re all eats. So I know you think you’re clever but S Capitol divides SE and SW. Let’s say you’re standing on S. Capitol with 295 behind you and you’re looking at 395, Nats Park is on the east side of S Capitol in SE and the other side of the street which is on the west side is SW. I parked a a Nats game this week at a parking lot located at 1323 S Capitol St, SW via Park Mobile which is by the corner of S Capitol and N (there is a liquor store right there on the corner). All the buildings from N to mid block of S. Capitol were boarded up with notice of a hearing posted on the doors, same thing with the first block of N SW.

Go down there.  On that side of S Capitol, which is the SW quadrant. Report back here what you see.  Super sad. [/quote]

Did you not notice all the new condo buildings, office buildings, restaurants, parks, etc. in the neighborhood. The whole area south of 295 from the Navy Yard to the Waterfront is being redeveloped. There are no derelict blocks there, only already developed blocks and to be developed blocks.

It was random that the shooting happened where it did. It had nothing to do with the neighborhood. Just happened they were driving on South Capitol when people in one car shot at people in another car for whatever idiotic reason. They weren’t from the neighborhood and may not even be DC residents.

Are you suggesting we should be glad that people come to DC to commit crimes?? That seems like an even worse situation. We need to understand why it’s a crime magnet.  [/quote]
