The atmosphere was great.  The attendance was probably larger than ever, and it seemed to me that the predominant age group was in the 20 to 30 range.  The baseball was not good if one was wearing red, great if wearing blue.  

That part of Southeast DC has undergone an amazing revitalization, with high rises replacing the Projects.  I am told the previous residents have been pushed out to Prince George's County.  What used to be low income housing is now largely converted to parking lots, serving the retail andWashington Navy Yard enterprises.  When I started this current gig two years ago I counted no fewer than 12 of those large construction cranes along the waterfront and M Street SE corridor.
