We’re famous! Sort of. A reader sent this in, it’s form the TV show Bones:
FYI: On Thursday’s episode, lead FBI agent Booth says, “A white man in Columbia Heights? He’d stand out like an onion in a bean field!” The characters then review CH ATM footage and zero in on the five white males.
What?????!!!! So silly that the writers of a show supposedly set in DC have never set foot in DC.
True that, as anybody who has ever walked around here will tell you. Or just look at the Census data, where the white population has grown by up to 300% since 2000 in some parts of the neighborhood.
Of course, this isn’t the first time the neighborhood has been mentioned inaccurately on TV: on the Fox show Lie to Me, a character said she lived at “105 Addison” in Columbia Heights.
