[quote=Anonymous][quote]There just aren't many white adults native to DC over the age of 20.[/quote] [quote]Probably aloof because they were East Coast Establishment/WASP/preppie types. The three families that I knew that lived in the Red Line neighborhoods in the 1970s were all very WASP-y. School connections included Andover, Williams, Bowdoin, Wellesley, etc. Supported their lifestyles with trust funds and sent kids to private. Connected to upscale jobs like National Gallery of Art curator, World Bank, private financial advisor. Their kids are less successful due to not being academic/career strivers and I don't think any of them live in DC anymore.[/quote] I'm the married-to-native PP and I agree with your take on who was here in 1980 along the Red Line and why. I will add another cohort, the Jewish intellectual people who came from NYC at some point to work in media and law and certain Administrations. I married into one of those families.[/quote]
