Red Line

Government. Attending these meetings will be key once I begin the tracking stories on my beat. And if I have some free time, maybe I’ll swing by some of Brookland’s most tasteful spots-Brookland’s Finest (Classic American brunch, opened in 2014), Brookland Café (Caribbean, opened in 2009), or Menomale Ettore Rusciano (Italian, opened in 2012)-and ask their owners what spawned their newfound interest in the neighborhood. Was it the young professionals who work on Capitol Hill that have moved to Brookland because its location on the Red Line? Or did they get a good deal on their rent? Wouldn’t be surprised if this made for a good business story. It’ll also be crucial to keep up with the picnics and community events sponsored by The Brookland Civic Association, to learn how residents are actively engaged in initiatives to curb crime and increase social awareness. Recently, The BNCA was responsible for stopping a WMATA proposal for the development of a Green Line on property outside of the Brookland-CUA Metro station. They are also part of an ongoing discussion with Howard University to explore properties for the university’s proposed development of a School of Divinity. This issue will be important to follow, as will, the twitter handles @BygoneBrookland and @BrooklandBridge, which will be critical as I build my beat.…

With few name brand stores, coffee shops, and aesthetically pleasing buildings, Holyoke looks like it is on it’s way to becoming a ghost town since it has not yet recovered from the post-industrial crash. The economy has not diversified and looked attractive to new…

Angry red lines. That’s what I called them. I hated them, loathed them. But at the same time, I needed them. I needed the pain, the sight of blood on my wrist. But summer was coming soon. It would be too hot for jumpers and long sleeves, so I was trying to go cold turkey. But it was so hard. So, so hard. Often I found myself holding the blade in my hands. Most of the time, I don’t even mean to. It just sort of, happened. And I hated myself for it. I wanted to stop. I really did. But it was like…

Throughout the hospital, this red line is painted through hallways and doors. It represents where these elite surgeons are allowed to go, compared to the average citizen that walks in with a complaint. It separates areas where the hospital goes from being accessible to all, to only enterable by few. When one walks into a hospital there are many…
