I plan on majorly restructuring this page in the coming days (sections, references, etc.) if anyone objects, speak now Thedofc (talk) 03:40, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Georgetown (Washington, D.C.) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 21:30, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
"Foggy Bottom is one of the oldest late 18th and 19th-century neighborhoods ..." How can you compare the ages of late 18th and 19th-century neighborhoods? Aren't they all, by definition, late 18th and 19th-century? Maproom (talk) 21:13, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The Alley Life section is also odd. It refers repeatedly to "alleys" as areas large enough for many people to live in. But I have only ever come across the term used as in the Alley article, for a narrow lane or path between two buildings or city blocks. That article has some good pictures. If Washingtonians use the word in a different sense, it should be explained in the Alley Life section. Maproom (talk) 21:21, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The article suggest foggy Bottom got its name because it was "susceptible to concentrations of fog and industrial smoke". I believe this is wrong, George Washington choose an swampy area called Foggy Bottom to build the capital. The whole area was called foggy Bottom long before any industrial smoke. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.59.235.156 (talk) 15:55, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that this sentence from the "Features" section should be reproduced in some form in the lead paragraph: "The name Foggy Bottom often is used as a metonym for the United States Department of State because its headquarters is in the neighborhood." This is the sense in which most people outside of D.C. itself would encounter the term and be drawn to Wikipedia to discover its meaning.--Schoolmann (talk) 10:36, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Two sentences seem to contradict. "Late into the 20th century, Foggy Bottom witnessed a drastic change in demographics." and "Another factor of the change in demographics was orchestrated by Theodore G. Bilbo...". Theodore Bilbo died in the 1940s. I don't think something done in the 1930s or 40s would cause a dramatic shift in the 80s or 90s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.162.162.218 (talk) 17:09, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
