Social Studies DC, the new blog from the Living Social folks, has a map they call the DC Stereotype Map (above, click it for a bigger version). Some of it is pretty funny. They call our general area “Bikes, beer and burglaries,” which is next to “Jumbo Slice” (i.e. Adams Morgan), “Marching Bands” for Howard, and “Commie Dog Walkers” for Petworth (though technically they are anarchist dog walkers.)
So is it accurate? The neighborhood certainly has a fair amount of bikes, beer and burglaries, but so do other hoods, and we have lots of other stuff. Maybe “bikes, beer, Target”? “Group houses, older residents, bars?” I dunno. What are your ideas for our stereotype?
