    Shaw is a neighborhood located in the Northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C., named after Union Colonel Robert Gould Shaw, the commander of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War.

    Geography

    Shaw is roughly bounded by M Street, NW or Massachusetts Avenue NW to the south; New Jersey Avenue, NW to the east; Florida Avenue, NW to the north; and 11th Street, NW to the west. The area also includes the U Street Corridor, which is the commercial hub of the Shaw area, extending westward to 16th Street NW.

    Florida Avenue marks the northern boundary with the adjacent neighborhoods of Columbia Heights and LeDroit Park. The area consists of gridded streets lined with small Victorian rowhouses. It is dominated by Howard University--technically just north of Shaw in the Pleasant Plains neighborhood--and the shops and theatres along U Street and centered along 7th Street NW, the original commercial hub of the area prior to redevelopment in the wake of the 1968 riots and Green Line Metrorail construction.

    Shaw (name)

    Shaw is most commonly a surname and rarely a given name. The name is of English and Scottish origin. In some cases the surname is an Americanization of a similar sounding Ashkenazic Jewish surname.

    In England and Scotland the name is a topographic name for someone who lived by a copse or thicket. This name is derived from the Middle English schage, shage, schawe, and shawe, from the Old English sceaga meaning "dweller by the wood". The name can also be a habitational name derived from places named after these words. The English surname was established in Ireland in the 17th century. In Scotland and Ireland the surname can also be an English form of several surnames derived from the Gaelic personal name sitheach meaning "wolf".

  • Shaw Clifton (born 1945), 18th General of The Salvation Army

    Comforter

    by: Shai

    Talk to me baby, I'm listening
    Lay down and tell me what's on your mind
    What exactly did he do to make you cry this time
    Well, I will be your comforter, I will make it right
    He cast a shadow on your heart and I will bring back your light
    Come in, I see he's hurt you again, when you are in pain, I'm in pain
    That's part of being a friend but this is a special case
    I held my feelings back because of him and now I can see it more than ever
    I made a big big big, big mistake
    I don't mean to disregard your feelings but I think that he's a fool
    He don't know how sensitive you are and baby that just ain't cool
    I'm just glad, I can be there for you when you need a helping hand
    When deep inside my heart from the start I know I should've been your man
    Lay down and tell me what's on your mind
    What exactly did he do to make you cry this time
    Well, I will be your comforter, I will make it right
    He cast a shadow on your heart and I will bring back your light
    I will comfort, comfort, comfort you
    I will comfort, I will comfort you
    I will comfort, comfort, comfort you
    I will comfort, I will comfort you
    I will comfort, comfort, comfort you
    I will comfort, I will comfort you
    I will comfort, comfort, comfort you
    I will comfort, I will comfort you
    Lay down and tell me what's on your mind
    What exactly did he do to make you cry this time
    Well, I will be your comforter, I will make it right
