[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had never heard of DC's gold coast, only the one in Chain Bridge- that name always stuck with me because it's high on the bluff along the coast of the Potomac and made sense as far as the name. I also get why another area in DC is called the gold coast. I'm fine with that- had just never heard that before. I guess I'd never heard of 'coast' refer to non- waterfront. I didn't grow up here and I am mostly white (but well aware many living on Chain Bridge are also not white).[/quote] I think the DC "gold coast" name may have originated from Chicago. Lots of linkages between elite blacks in DC and other major American cities in the mid 20th century.[/quote]
