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 am soo happy I moved from that area... Things are much beter down here in Williamsburg.....I am a real estate appraiser and I deal w/ this shit everyday..

    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.
