That neighborhood, which is about as "blue" as a neighborhood can get, gives me my very best memories among all the places I've lived, while having lived and traveled throughout North America, and I miss it very much and may likely return there.

Thanks!

That neighborhood, which is about as “blue” as a neighborhood can get, gives me my very best memories among all the places I’ve lived, while having lived and traveled throughout North America, and I miss it very much and may likely return there. (That’s a dream I frequently have, anyway.)

As far as GBLT relations, my extremely liberal friend in DC has long ties with the GBLT community there.

It's got to be made clear thatn 'they' are also 'us'.
