Tourists seldom get out of the national monument area.
Tour guides advise them to stay south of Pennsylvania avenue.


I've never heard anyone say "stay south of Pennsylvania Avenue."

Lots of museums, sights, restaurants, venues of all kinds, the
convention center, and at least 100 other interesting places are north
of Pennsylvania Avenue.

Absolutely - and it's a good place to get mugged or robbed also! There is plenty to do south of
Pennsylvania Avenue. Visiting all the free stuff will take a couple weeks.

I just saw a link for DIJ.GOV where they were mapping crime hot spots
and on page 4 they use the area north of Pa ave as the example.

Your hot spots map from five years ago?

"This is a hot spot map for robberies during 2007 in Washington, D.C.
The Adams Morgan-Columbia Heights area, U Street/Shaw, and Chinatown
have experienced gentrification in recent years, with homicide rates
going down."

Hey, if it keeps racist white trash like Herring out of DC...

The gun homicide rate dropped after the Heller decision.
