What do I want to say about this house?
Well for most of my tenure living on the 1600 block of 4th St, it was a rental home. In the last handful of years I was on the street, the tenants were well meaning nice people with jobs. They unfortunately had a front view of the rear of the commercial block that was the 1500 block of New Jersey Ave NW. If it weren’t the screamy teenagers hanging out behind the commercial block, it was the old guys who sold heroin hanging out. The nice thing about the old guys who sold heroin was that they tended to call it a night most nights….. well that was until they had members who hung out who decided every other day was bring your kid to work day.
It couldn’t have been easy there.
