Yes and no. By the present-day definition, it is wrong. By the historical definition, the map is accurate.

Hi there,

I need your expert advice please

I would like to hear your opinion about buying a property in the area you mentioned above. There are new developments (Townhomes) on 3700 Roosevelt Place near Paradise Park and Mayflower Appts. Across from Minnesota Ave metro. Do you think it's safe to buy one of the new town homes, live there and commute on the metro to work? I usually go to work at 8am and come back around 6pm. I greatly appreciate your advice/help
