[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The first three digits of my social are 577

I used to jack candy bars from Rodmans when my mom wasn’t looking.

I would walk to Hellers bakery and buy two donuts and the weekend Post for my Father for $1.55

I fell in love with baseball at Turtle Park and once hit a home run that almost made it to Maryland from the field at 44th and Western.

I moved out to the country for high school so I never stuck around for the post-M. Barry revival. Even today, I still know you don’t let your purse hang loose down past Florida Ave.

But if you say you’re from DC. I’ll ask you quite pointedly; 577 or 578? And if you look at me funny I’ll know you really mean Rockville.  [/quote]

FWIW, your SSN tell depends on when the person was born. I was born in DC, but don’t have 557 or 8.

These DCUM native threads always end up skewing so NW.[/quote]

So what is your son tell? What does nw have to do with it?[/quote]

I was born in SE DC, and my SSN doesn’t start with 557 or 558. So PP’s question is not as determinative as she thinks it is.

On a related note, when these “native” threads pop up routinely on DCUM, they tend to focus on a fairly narrow, white NWDC perspective. Nothing wrong with that, just know that it’s only one perspective.[/quote]

True. Fair point.

So what’s the black perspective?

There’s a dialect. I love the way black Washingtonians say “Maryland.” [/quote]
