At 65 and on disability, I have been evicted on hearsay from one person, and neighbors are not allowed by Greenbelt Homes Inc., to testify in my defense here either. Dangerous place for senior, disabled, single women, any one expecting full US rights to be in place. Otherwise great town, just stay out of the Cooperative, and the old historical district.

Our newspaper, the Greenbelt News Review, is the nation's longest-running all-volunteer newspaper in the country, and in the 1970s our paper was involved in a First Amendment lawsuit that went to the US Supreme Court (we won).
