Today in History (1862) - The U.S. government forbids all Union army officers from returning fugitive slaves, thus effectively annulling the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850 and setting the stage for the Emancipation Proclamation. On the same day in 1865, the Confederate Congress voted to enlist 300,000 black troops, granting them freedom with the consent of their owners. Lee surrendered a few weeks later. |
Finding a two-bedroom housing unit, in the DC area, for $1700 or less, that isn't more than 45 minutes to the Farragut North or West stops, and preferably furnished and in Virginia so I don't have to deal with DC income tax...
... is more difficult than I had anticipated, even with Craigslist's assistance. I'll think I have something set, and then the person stops replying to my e-mails. Or a place claimed to be convenient to the city will be revealed on Trip Planner to be an hour and a half from my place of work. Etc.
If you have any leads to offer, assistance would be much apppreciated.
UPDATE: Looks like I have a roof over my head.
