Pleasantville, DC?

Owner of a house needing a substantial rehab is blogging about his efforts, and there's a lot involved. This is a very good blog. Click on the blog's gallery photo link for an idea of the scope of work. But this post, the most recent, is a thoughtful look at how neighbors interact. An excerpt:

I often wonder who the person is that I project to people. I have found my neighbors to be, on average, very open and engaging. Is that a result of them, or me? Do I project an honest non-threatening persona? Or have I just stumbled into an honest and non-threatening community?

This blogger has very good photo and design talents. Returning arrival to the DC metro after living in New Orleans. Check out her work. And read her incredible Katrina story. They lost everything but "are happy to have been able to save our 6 cats and pete the dog."



Bus Thoughts

Law school student reflects on the needs of senior citizens. An excerpt:


DC does provide for $.60 rides for senior citizens (65 and older), but most of them don't know and pay the full $1.25 to go five city blocks!! I'm resilient. I have a greater earning power than they do. I don't think senior citizens should have to pay anything at all to use public transportation. I think we should make things palpably easier on senior citizens, not just take a stick off of the bundle on their back.
