Ward One Gentrification

Update: Over on the Internet Archive you can check out a 2006 report by RBM on changes coming to some of the District of Columbia's most densely-populated neighborhoods. The story was broadcast by WAMU 88.5 FM in Washington. An excerpt from the intro:
if you throw a dart at a map of the district, you're not likely to hit Ward One. It's not only the city's smallest ward, it's also the most diverse. Perhaps it's no wonder, then, that life in Columbia Heights, Mount Pleasant, and Adams Morgan is changing. As WAMU's Raul Moreno reports, gentrification is having a profound impact on Ward-One schools, especially those serving DC's Latino community.
