Hire me as a GS-14, I’ll write you complete answers all day. Shit, I’ll even show you my work.

In all seriousness, if you’re interested in learning about neighborhoods, googling “washingtonpost.com: “neighborhood” (you can even add “year”) is a great way to learn about neighborhood history. Make sure to include quotes around the neighborhood name and a separate set for the year if you include that part. Obviously, there’s going to be some bias from what the Post writes but it is a decent record. The best is finding articles that link to other local sources.
