Addressing Issues
Nicole Berns and Daniel Perry do not live in the White House. They do, however, live at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. The key is the two letters that come at the end of the street address: “N.W.” for the Executive Mansion, in the District’s Northwest quadrant; “S.E.” for the 77-unit building in Southeast where Berns and Perry rent apartments. The Zip Codes are also different. The building’s developers chose the address to make a splash: the previous building, a used-car dealership, bore the address 1550. Now mail for various presidents — current and former — comes to the apartment building. Its residents’ mail sometimes goes to the White House. And when residents show their ID, they sometimes get a skeptical response. (AC/AP) ...The occupant of the White House knows that feeling.Original Publication Date: 17 July 2016
