Excerpt:
Ward 7 resident Patrice Irby enjoyed a meal at the Big Chair Bar & Grill on Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue in Southeast one recent Wednesday afternoon. During her meal, she marveled at the many changes taking place in the neighborhood.
“This is my first time here,” said Irby, 57, a federal government contract specialist and native Washingtonian who grew up in Southeast. “It’s fun to see how D.C. has [been] revitalized. It’s not the same.”
Irby voiced what longtime residents have witnessed of late in Ward 8’s Anacostia community: a flurry of economic activity, a budding arts district and an influx of new residents.
