[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]trinidad is already happening, but its block by block.

SW is happening too, but still some relative bargains, I guess.

First EOTR nabe I would bet on is Historic Anacostia - very close to Navy Yard, good bones, already has the seed of an arts district, Bus Boys coming soon, and Barry Farms to be redevelped.   [/quote]

Love Historic Anacostia - used to go there when lived on Hill.  DK Bus Boys coming to that neighborhood.[/quote]

This is a joke,  right?  [/quote]

Talk about ignorant. Go back to the burbs. Isn't it time to pop your next oxycontin?[/quote]

My my, someone forgot to take their happy pill today.

I've actually been to Anacostia and no, it is not the sort of place that I would enjoy a leisurely stroll. And yes, I live in DC.[/quote]

I'm the PP who first mentiioned HA up above.  I don't think any thing bad will happen to you strolling around during the day, though the commercial blocks are unattractive enough to deter walking - only place I would want to stroll is a one or two residential blocks.   And I am not willing to move there now (note, I currently live in Fairfax.)  But there are people starting to renovate the houses there, there are a couple of galleries and a really nice arts center and a coffee shop or two, and I think an independent theater aside from the one in the Arts Center.   I am not sure when BB&P goes in, but Shallal has announced his intention.  [b]And DC has announced its intention to convert tear down Barry Farms and to replace it with mixed income housing.[/b]  That could be delayed (as has the move of DHS) but I think sometime between one and three years from now HA will have reached the point where change accelerates.

Was Barry Farms named after Marion Barry, or just coincidence?[/quote]
