WAMU story here. Doesn't say much of anything that wasn't reported elsewhere.

Apparently the PoP doesn't want to relinquish his grip on his vassals in Ward 1:

He's got quite a sphere of influence emanating from his castle near Nebraska and Wisconsin!

That's what you read about in the newspaper?

I read more about:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/three-year-old-girl-dead-after-shooting-in-southeast-washington/2015/07/30/9ec511c6-36a1-11e5-b673-1df005a0fb28_story.html

http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/crime/dc-neighborhood-holds-vigil-to-mourn-mother-was-was-shot-to-death/2015/05/30/2278fcb0-06a2-11e5-a428-c984eb077d4e_story.html

But, sure - reading about where Rockefeller's house is must be really nice too. You must live in really different Washington, even though we read the same paper.


Not a single one of those articles discusses Crestwood. Have you read this thread? Do you have any idea what discussion you are joining? What point were you trying to make?

Uhh, those are the local crime section vs the real estate section. I don't get it.
