DC Blogs noted:

For nearly two years, DCSOB has brought you snark, joy, anger, bemusement and the occasional piece of new information not ripped off from some other source on a more or less weekdaily basis.

Non-Fat Latte Liberal
This writer is a perceptive and entertaining observer of Brookland, his DC neighborhood. An outstanding meditation about life in this neighborhood.

It is, I admit, part of what I like about Brookland that I am so starkly white in a very non white neighborhood, but I chafe at being singled out for it, as I did when one of the neighborhoodies turned to me, while walking on the other side of the street and yelled, "Hey! Welcome to the Ghetto, Welcome to my hood!" He was clearly talking to me. My black roommate sat on the porch with me and chided me by saying, "You know he's talking to you, right?"
