I am extremely heartened by the increasing amount of involvement in the H St. area. We still have a ways to go as far as the seeing the majority of residents take personal responsibility and actually treat the neighborhood as a nice place to live. I saw this article in the Post: "Obama Reaches Out With Tough Love" and thought it really hit home as far as some of the behavior I have witnessed in my 18 months in the H St. corridor.
Excerpt:
"In Chicago, sometimes when I talk to the black chambers of commerce, I say, 'You know what would be a good economic development plan for our community would be if we make sure folks weren't throwing their garbage out of their cars,' " Obama told a group of black state legislators in a speech in South Carolina last month.

Thanks for letting me post my thoughts.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the PSA 102 meeting due to a conflict with another meeting.
I wanted to let folks know that I reached out to Tommy Wells' office to set up a similar walk through for my SMD (straddles H Street, 2nd-8th between F & K Street NE).
We're still working out the details, but the walk through will probably be around mid-June on a weekday evening. We will also have Commander Groomes (MPD) and possibly representatives of DCRA and DPW.
I'll keep everyone posted as the details are finalized.
Best,
