Marialice Williams was another supporter and participant who loves the city, knows it well, is a native Washingtonian and has been a part of gentrification for generations. Thank you for your insights. Perhaps there is a production in here about a real life span of 50 years of neighborhood change. It really isn't that long a span.

Robert Newkirk, a relative newcomer to DC and to the Double Nickels represented both very well. How does a young man begin his professional life and choose a neighborhood in Chocolate City when he comes from Buffalo New York? Ask Robert to tell you his story. It is an example of new times and new considerations. It also demonstrates the differing affects of income versus race when it comes to where we live in today's environment as compared to the '50s and '60s.

Thank you all very much for helping direct the discussion and for you own very informing insights Thank you, Bill and Dorothy McSweeny (two of our Board Members) for being there with us. And, last but not least, thank you Rachael Grossman, Connectivity Director, for Woolly Mammoth for inviting The Double Nickels to participate with Woolly Mammoth Theatre.
