Absolutely - and it's a good place to get mugged or robbed also!

How many times have you been mugged or robbed in DC?

Twice, also, does being shot at count?

The first time I was ever in DC, 17 years old, spent most of the summer
in Florida, time to go back north for school, Greyhound bus. Change
buses in DC, miss first one, had to wait 12 hours. It's dark, decide to
go wander around and get a bite to eat. Made it about a half a block,
turned around and came back. Must have been approached by 10 different
types of thugs. Stayed the rest of the time in the Greyhound station
which wasn't much better.

Yup 11th and New York Avenue is one of those hot spot areas. It is
just a few blocks from where I was robbed ... about 10PM

New York at 11th has been almost totally redeveloped and gentrified. The
old convention center is gone. Last week, I had a little time before a
meeting in Chinatown and walked 15th down NY Avenue and then into the
eastern edge of Chinatown. Lots of other people were walking, too.
