@ SJE -

While it may be true that GU has helped boost Georgetown's credentials, the neighborhood's evolution from a poor, working-class neighborhood where many of the African-Americans who worked at the Waterfront (back in its industrial days) lived, to what it is today, has much less to do with GU than it does with the impact of the Kennedy family's presence in the neighborhood and the historic preservation movement that helped Georgetown retain so much of its character that has been torn down in other parts of the city. The University is only one small part of the greater picture of the Georgetown neighborhood's evolution.
