There was an article in the paper as to whether gentrification was strictly a white phenomenon, since the affluent blacks moving in were also displacing older residents who couldn't keep up with the prices and escalating taxes, which is why I mentioned it.
The neighborhood around Howard University might work - the students tend to be from upper/upper-middle class families and are known for being well - or at least very fashionably - dressed. It's Le Droit Park, fyi.

Yay, paycheck, smonster!
Sorry about the license, Ginger. I'm most likely to pull out my license when I'm signing up for something requiring the number or when getting carded for booze. So maybe you should check near a desk? Or where ever you unpack your booze, I guess, should you do so.
A coat or purse I don't use regularly is where I would start.
