WashPo | In Anacostia, the feeling of a real commmunity

Go HERE to read this wonderful letter to the editor by Anacostia resident, Michael Shank.

Excerpt:

Mike DeBonis was spot on regarding the solidarity east of the Anacostia River [“Solidarity for Anacostia restaurant after owner’s drug arrest,” Metro, Nov. 16]. As a resident of Anacostia, I witness this community spirit every day, which is one of the main reasons I moved there. Frankly, it’s one of the only places in the District where you can find a real community. My neighbors, many of whom have lived on my block for more than 30 years, look out for me, ask about me, take care of me and call me when I’ve been out of town simply to check up on me. It’s one of the best parts of my day.
