Hey, neighbor! Do you live south of East Capitol Street, east of South Capitol Street, west of 19th Street and north of 695 until 7th Street SE, M Street SE through 11th Street SE and then the Anacostia river? Then you are most likely a resident of ANC 6B! You can find the ANC 6B website by clicking here. In the site, you will find a version of the map above, as well as a list of commissioners, agendas, minutes, audio and reports and other information that pertains to your Advisory Neighborhood Commission.
I sent a short set of questions to each ANC commissioner in 6A-6D, plus commissioners in 5D and 7D, and they were gracious enough to send in replies so you can get to know your part of the neighborhood better. I introduced this series back in this post.
We know our ANC commissioners are a busy bunch, so we’ll update this post as they send in their answers.
