‘Gentrification’ covers black and white middle-class home buyers in the District

By Emily Wax, Published Washington Post: July 28

A group of young black professionals in Anacostia has gathered over spinach-strawberry salad and white wine, when the conversation turns, as if often does, to what they call the “G-word”: gentrification.

“I used to think it was about race — when white people moved into a black neighborhood,” said lawyer Charles Wilson, 35, who lost to Marion Barry in the 2008 Ward 8 D.C. Council race. “Then, I looked up the word. It’s when a middle-class person moves into a poor neighborhood. And I realized: I am a gentrifier. I couldn’t believe it. I don’t like that word. It makes so many people uncomfortable.”

Anacostia River Realty's Owner featured in Washington Business Journal

Darrin D. Davis

Background: In 1997, Davis used an inheritance to buy a Capitol Hill apartment building, then another, then another. Hooked, he ventured into home sales for five years. After a cross-country detour working 1½ years on Hillary Clinton’s, then Barack Obama’s, presidential campaigns — when the housing market crashed — Davis, now 46, returned to his real passion: D.C. realty east of the river.

Anacostia River Realty Works to Change Perceptions

(Anacostia River Realty's owner Darrin D. Davis with Congress Heights on The Rise blogger Nikki Peele and r.e.e.l. member Troy Donte Prestwood)


A few years ago, Marlon Ray couldn’t imagine buying a home in southeast Washington D.C. after hearing about the crime and poverty associated with the section of the city. This changed on Feb. 21 when Ray moved into a house in Congress Heights that he discovered and purchased through a Ward 8 real estate company.

Like many people, Ray based his initial perceptions of southeast on what the news reported and the conversations he heard about the high crime rate in the area. For the past three years up to his move into Congress Heights, Ray had been commuting an hour and a half from his Fredericksburg, Va. home to his job at Orr Elementary School on Minnesota Avenue SE. Although he worked in southeast, he had never thought about what the area had to offer until he met Darrin Davis.

Anacostia River Realty screens HGTV episode filmed in Historic Anacostia

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. (February 18, 2011) --- Anacostia River Realty, the Ward 8 real estate firm featured in the D.C. episode of HGTV’s My First Sale, is pleased to host a public screening of the episode, Friday, February 25, 6pm - 9pm at Big Chair Coffee & Grill, located at 2122 MLK Jr. Ave, SE. The screening coincides with Anacostia River Realty’s Second Year Anniversary Celebration, with special guests, the stars of the award-winning soap opera Anacostia - The Series.


HGTV’s casting of Historic Anacostia is further confirmation of the neighborhood’s new status as the “next big thing” in community revitalization. Residents are filled with pride, new businesses are opening, and visitors are discovering the community’s rich history and potential.


For Darrin Davis, owner of Anacostia River Realty, this has been a labor of love. “Since I moved to Historic Anacostia and started selling exclusively in neighborhoods East of the River in 2002, it was always a dream to open up a real estate firm that specialized in this community. The way the community has embraced us has been amazing. One of my goals in starting Anacostia River Realty was to help change the perception of neighborhoods East of the River. Since the airing of the HGTV episode, we are getting calls not only from people from the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, but from potential residents, investors, and developers around the country who are interested in investing responsibly in our community. HGTV coming to Historic Anacostia was another validation that we're moving in the right direction. This viewing party is my way of saying ‘thanks’ to the community.”

Labor of love becomes gathering for community in Anacostia

By Chris L. Jenkins
Washington Post Staff Writer
Saturday, February 12, 2011

Inside Uniontown Bar and Grill, three women sip on turquoise-colored cocktails at the bar and talk about life and love. Later, a pair of elderly sisters come in for a late lunch, plunk down pictures and talk about their grandchildren.


It could be a midday scene from any of U Street's chic hipster joints or an Adams Morgan eatery. But what makes the scene unusual is where it's happening: in Anacostia, a long-neglected area of the city where, until recently, residents' entertainment and retail options were few.

D.C. bag tax to clean Anacostia River nets $2 million

Washington shoppers have spent approximately $2 million on paper and plastic bags in the past year, one nickel at a time.

The city's 5-cent tax on bags began last January, but consumers spent much less pocket change than predicted to pay for bags from grocery, liquor and convenience stores. City officials had guessed the fee would raise $3.5 million to clean up the city's Anacostia River before the end of 2010, but it has raised a little more than half that.

City officials said they were surprised so many consumers appear to have changed their habits, using reusable bags to carry their goods.

Prints offer fascinating surface

Floating just below the surface of the water, photographer Chajana denHarder appears little more than a blob of pink in many of her self photographs. In others, she captures herself as one or both of her legs kicks through the surface, sending up violent plumes of water. She is never pictured treading water or doing a backstroke - it's the surface of the water that fascinates her.

And in a current show of her work at Anacostia's Gallery at Vivid Solutions, it's the surfaces of her prints that are so fascinating, whether she knows it or not. Photos from two series form a study of how noise works in digital photography - both the hazard it represents and the tool it can be in a smart photographer's hands.

Historic Anacostia Featured in HGTV’s My First Sale Episode, Sunday, January 9 at 1pm.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – January 5, 2011 --- The Third Season of HGTV’s My First Sale will premier Sunday, January 9, 2010 at 1pm and will focus on the Historic Anacostia neighborhood of Washington, DC. The My First Sale series follows a first-time home seller and their real estate agent as they navigate the ups and downs of the real estate market. Sunday’s episode will chronicle the journey of Anacostia homeowner and blogger David Garber as he attempts to sell a renovated single-family home with the assistance of his realtor, Darrin Davis, owner of Anacostia River Realty.

Sunday’s episode features the Historic Anacostia neighborhood of Ward 8, a community on the tipping point of economic and residential revitalization. In recent years, Historic Anacostia has become the option for savvy homeowners looking for affordability without sacrificing Washington DC conveniences.

Says Darrin Davis, “As a Realtor, this coverage is absolutely great for the Anacostia community! We are introducing the world to this great community and hopefully dispelling some misperceptions. I am ecstatic that Anacostia River Realty was the company that brought HGTV here.”

Already HGTV’s coverage of Historic Anacostia is paying off. Garber is in the process of purchasing two dilapidated homes in Historic Anacostia with hopes to have them on the market in late spring. Darrin Davis has been inundated with requests from potential homebuyers looking to experience what he calls “fine east of the Anacostia living.” In February, to coincide with their second year anniversary, Anacostia River Realty will be holding a special viewing party of the My First Sale episode.

The excitement surrounding Sunday’s episode is of particular interest to residents of Historic Anacostia. “The fact that HGTV is in our neighborhood shows proof that the best days are ahead for our community…Historic Anacostia residents will be glued to the TV on Sunday night! Two Thumbs Up for Anacostia!” says Charles Wilson, President of the Historic Anacostia Block Association.
