One of my favorite memories from DC08 is the evening about 15 of the kids and I took carryout to the
row house owned by my sister Nathalie and her husband Rodney, where we ate on the splendiferous roof-top deck that Rodney and friends built. Not only did it allow me to relax with a smaller number of kids, it was yet another chance for me to show Hoosiers the "real" DC. Even more so than exploring the neighborhoods of Adams Morgan and Dupont Circle, Nat and Rod live in a classic DC neighborhood -- all
row houses, almost entirely owned by African-Americans. It's the sort of neighborhood that hasn't yet been transformed by
gentrification into a white yuppie enclave.
