I caught that too. Either it's on Capitol Hill or it is not. Stop playing games. I didn't see the headline about the shooting in Capitol Heights described as being on the "edge" of Prince George's County (which it is). The Post is a trip. And they wonder why the Black community does not take the Post's political endorsements seriously.

How about "Unsurprisingly, man shot near public housing project." (Potomac Gardens, 14th n G SE). Would that be a better description for ya?

I can't believe the WaPo still uses the old coding from the Crack era when somebody gets shot on the "Edge" of Capitol Hill, another way of saying don't be scared white folks, this wasn't near you, but then again, white folks are everwhere in D.C. now.
