  1. My kids go to the segregated Annandale High… Have to walk the gauntlet to get home. Thanks Tessie Wilson, Brad Center and the rest of the single party school board for ignoring all common sense and removing the bulk of middle class from AHS in 2011… A job well done.

  2. Just sick. This is the same stretch of road where an elderly woman was brutally assaulted in broad daylight a few years back. Annandale isn't as bad as Bailey's Crossroads but this particular area may eventually compete with them.

    1. We need to purge the crap from Mason District. Our politicians have no will or the smarts to do it; the latino community hides because many are undocumented. As usual the middle class is abandoned and left with the crumbs that the rich can afford to keep out of their neighborhoods. Its simply Democracy gone wrong.

    2. By "crumbs" I think you mean the latino community because they are undocumented. By "purge the crap" you mean exterminate the neighborhoods. By "Democracy gone wrong" is it Obama you are referring to? "Our politicians have no will or the smarts to do it"
      Do what? "go on Annandale Blog and complain?
      How do the rich keep them out?
