you know what would make H St. better? Tiger cubs. we should tie a bunch of them to the street lights up and down the entire length of H. it will be our neighborhood's ``thing.'' come for the tiger cubs stay for the sandwiches, pies and mini golf. H St., Grrrrrreat St!
It's encouraging to hear that the construction is set to be completed by next winter (although construction schedules have been known to slip). Almost without realizing it, I've spent less time on H Street over the past year, in large part due to the construction. It's just not very pleasant to maneuver around in that area with the roads torn up, few parking spaces, etc. I hope the businesses that are there now can hold on for what certainly looks like brighter days ahead.
OMG this would be GREAT! Imagine Tigers chasing down and eating thug criminals. I mean most are super scared of dogs I would believe that these Tigers would be better than police officers. Clearly the thugs aren't scared of them.
brighter days ahead indeed. That's what the article is trying to say. Have you guys seen the comments left on the article? Nothing but people full of bitterness and hatred for the area. I have to disagree with businesses taking a hit during the construction. If anything, I've seen business skyrocket since construction began.

where's the lot on 13th and h? is it hidden by old tiger cages? has any one heard about the new ticket cost for parking in the auto zone? i've been told that it's now a $250 ticket and a second offense is $1000. especially fun when they walk by someone working on their car to give you a parking ticket. tonyt the pug

This brings up a question I've always wondered: why "thug criminals"? Is this just an innocent way of, you know, distinguishing droopy-pants-wearing, be-dreadlocked, baseball cap wearing "thug criminals" from the decent shaggy-haired, meth-smoking, Lynard Skynard-listening "non-thug criminal"?
Or is the use of "thug" just a racial dog-whistle used by stupid racist trolls who are too hapless to hit the submit button only once.
I was also wondering about the thug vs tiger cub comments. But I decided to let is pass, considering that the commenters obviously didn't bother to read the whole article. If they did, they would known that those cubs were born a century ago at 15th and h, when the circus came to town.
Guys, please be polite. Remember that these people are your neighbors. I ask also that anonymous users leave some kind of tag [e.g. big green cat] for the sake of being able to follow a thread. Be respectful and have fun.
Congrats on the mention in the article.
ReplyDeleteWas that an elaborate advertisement for the circus?
ReplyDeleteI know right @akire... I was kind of lost with the mention of the cirucs.

ReplyDeleteI agree! and then we can train the tiger cubs to fight crime and sic them on criminals on H Street!

Was in Toyland Friday eve. and saw the H St. Shuttle go by. It was full, which was nice to see.

Forgive me if my natural curiosity seems forward.

ReplyDeleteanon 1:52 - washington post comments are ALWAYS full of bitterness and hatred. try reading the comments on any article about immigration.
ReplyDelete"thug criminals" is reserved for brute force street crimes and vandalism.
ReplyDeleteif you've lived elsewhere, you know that street crime comes in all colors.
its not racist. well, except maybe to some Indians, but i'd guess thats not what you meant.
