Of course, critics claim that its just a masquerade for letting the whites move back in.

Anyway, I still have my guard up when I walk there at night.

This same gentrification is going on is DC. Part of it though is due to the housing boom.

Property tax for a DC rowhouse will run over $6000. These are on less than a quarter acre of land in many cases.

My property tax in under $4000, I have 1/2 acre, and have a decent sized home.

I don't have any recommendations, but you may find this site useful- http://www.restaurant.com/listings.asp?pgn=gcp

You can purchase/print off gift certificates for restaurants to save a bunch of cash. Always good when on vacation :)

Yeah I've been using them for years.

Use code PRESENT the recalculate the total and you get 70% off certificates for the month of July.

That means $25 will cost you $3.

That's cool :) I haven't used it yet, but just found out about it.
