speaking of gentrified, I saw a Rolls Royce double parked a few days ago in the 1400 block of Rhode Island Avenue. And I don't think it belonged to a pimp.

How do you figure that?
Shaw was gentrified and hip back in 2003 or so, while Columbia Heights became all the rage about 2 years ago…
Shaw, hip in 03'?? Maybe if you were willing to wear a bullet proof vest like Walkie.
Yeah, I wasn't here in 2003, but I know that when I bought my place on the Logan Circle side of Shaw in 2009, the area was not gentrified and some parts were not walkable. It is making strides and has improved 200% in the last few years so I think the video is right on… Down by 9th and Pish where they are rebuilding the Giant and turning multi-city block project housing into condos and commerical establishments will really change the area.

You gotta be kidding. By 2009 the Whole Foods was already well established, the Bang & Olufsen store was open, and there was a yoga studio every other block. Your neighborhood is for one percenters who think they're still edgy.
Is 14th Street considered Shaw?
Edit: I guess I was just talking about like 11th/12th over. Always just considered 14th street to be Downtown, then Logan, then U Street. If 14th is included than I agree.

Also LOL at a enlisted military guy being a one percenter.
Ok… this thread is going to make my head explode.
14th St is not Shaw… And Logan Circle hasn't been scary since circa 04'ish. Maybe even before that, I guess it just depends on your definition of scary. I enjoy tranny hookers walking the streets at 2am.

;D
to me , and I lived there for 10 years, Logan ends at Logan Circle which is 13th… past that on Rhode Island, for example, is Shaw..
Shaw goes at least til 7th if not more… and unless its changed a lot its still pretty crime ridden

Pressing a point when there is a wrinkle in the conversation.

It was edgy but still walkable back in 2001. I saw the entire 11th St area get cleaned up within a year and high-rise condos go up down at 11th and M St.
