RSS FeedAbout.com PQ/Chinatown Profile – Setting The Record Straight
About.com profiles neighborhoods in US cities. Of the eight DC neighborhoods listed, one is Chinatown and the other is the Penn Quarter. Two quotes that struck this blogger…”Much of the area was torn down in the 1990s to make way for the MCI Center (now the Verizon Center).” and another is that this area is “a revitalized arts and entertainment district.” An outsider reading these snippets might think that no one lives downtown and that it is purely a destination. Us PQ residents will continue to have to set visitors, DC government officials and other DC residents straight on that account.
