Structure:
The book is over 60 chapters and the first 40 chapters will be uploaded over the next several weeks, while I work on completing the final 15 chapters through the rest of the year.
Meaning:
The blog is a portrait of life in Anacostia (and Congress Heights), both on the macro scale as well as the specific story of one household on idyllic but hectic Lebaum Street -- the micro.
This portrait is for the most part a narrative non-fiction and will be largely true to life (with the exception of some changed names and some anecdotes to illustrate a particular point).
It is tailored to Southeast DC (East of the River), meaning it wouldn't exist anywhere in any other major metropolitan city in America (such as Philly, LA, NYC, SF, Miami).
Though the title is "Hill East Blues", it is meaningful and not entirely tragic. It is uplifting and filled with hope.

How to Read it:
Since the Blog is updated in reverse chronological order, the best way to read this Blog is to select the Labels on the upper right hand menu for the specific Chapter that you want to read. In this case: Chapters I to V.
The Future:
As this blog gets populated with more chapters, I'll build real estate on Google and will likely market it on Facebook, Twitter and other social networking sites as well as interact with other blogs and bloggers.
