“Dear PoPville,
I just moved to Emerson Street NW near the intersection of 4th Street. My realtor calls the neighborhood Petworth, but I have heard other people call it Brightwood Park, North Petworth, and even Fort Totten. I just want to know so people stop looking at me weird when I try to explain where I live. Soooo which is it?
Thanks,
Pet-wood-tten”
Never mind the DC Tax Office, wikipedia, your realtor, and/or your spiritual advisers: When someone says 4th and Emerson – what neighborhood do you associate it with?
