Reply to comment by [deleted] in In the 1900s, what were the most desirable neighborhoods in Washington, DC? How to they compare to the neighborhoods today? by Mtserali
I think it was in late 1940s? People had flocked to work in Washington because of the war, and there wasn't enough housing in the city proper. Also people wanted more room to raise their baby boom kids! But pockets stayed rural even after the housing tracts came in. The mascot of Walter Johnson High School on Democracy Blvd is actually a cow, because dairy cows used to roam the adjacent fields when it was built in 1956.

Bethesda was the country back then! The Grosvenors, the founding family of the National Geographic Society, built a summer home in 1928 near where the Grosvenor Red Line Metro station is today.

Reply to MPD Officer often fed information to Proud Boys leader by oxidadapanda
Remember that Officer Mike Fanone was run out of the MPD because he spoke out against the rioters who almost killed him, as well as the people who enabled the rioters. This guy Lamond is far from the only fan of the Proud Boys in those offices.
