Nationals Park is Where I Call Home

Well, DC, you gave developing Southeast and Southwest along Maine Avenue a shot (if you want to call this area Anacostia, you can), but lack of interest and a weak economy have stifled your efforts.

The Washington Post has this article on the disappointing growth for the area around Nationals Park.

I don't really have much to comment on it because I'm not surprised. There just isn't enough to draw people to the area when there isn't a Nationals game, so why would someone building a store there. Even the liquor store went bust a while back...or did it just get robbed to many times. Heh, why cross hairs.
