[quote=Anonymous]It was seen by white people as the safe, walkable, charming part of the city when so much of the rest of DC was going through the drug wars. And Cleveland Park was the only place to live, unless you wanted to be somewhere frontier-ish like Dupont Circle. (I remember being attacked by a drug addict outside the Peoples Drug in Dupont -- 1987 or so.) No one would think it safe to walk from Foggy Bottom to Georgetown because of the number of people assaulted near the bridge on Penn Ave over Rock Creek. (We used to swear there were trolls living under the bridge.) Much of that has changed, as things always change. 100 years ago, the waterfront was made up of warehouses, and cement, steel, and other factories. [/quote]
