[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's all sorts of odd things on the current map...the long Maury peninsula in what's squarely JH territory, the patch on the lower left that is Polk even though it's surrounded by three other schools' boundaries and not even adjacent to Polk territory, the long Patrick Henry peninsula between Tucker and Polk, etc.  All of it is a big case of who knows[/quote]

That Maury peninsula includes the Adkins public housing and used to include The Bland public housing (now redeveloped). I think it was an attempt to move some of the low-income kids out of J-H. Adkins is also now slated for redevelopment as is the public housing right next to J-H. With the Bland redevelopment, they retained about 2/3 of the number of units and moved 1/3 elsewhere and I think the plan is to follow roughly the same proportion for the Adkins development.

Thanks for this info. Is there a map that shows where the public housing is now in Alexandria? I know there has been a lot of redevelopment of this type of housing and an effort to have it be less concentrated in certain areas. [/quote]

Here you go. Also as a tip, you can always identify public housing in Alexandria, it's the same almost everywhere row houses that are non descript.  Outside of Old Town there are weird pockets of it located in odd places - corner of van dorn and w. braddock for example,
