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?

I spend a lot more time in the DC than you do or did, and I've never
been mugged or robbed. I sometimes go into pretty rough neighborhoods,
too, since several of my clients are involved with investments and
construction in places like Anacostia. I've been "panhandled," of
course. My wife has been working almost every weekday in DC for 15
years, and in three different locations, travels all over DC for various
meetings and functions, and traveled via Metro hundreds of times to a
college campus on the fringe of several "rough" neighborhoods. She's
never been robbed or mugged, either.

Maybe we're just lucky, or maybe we don't look away in horror or disdain
at poor people, or people with different skin colors.

The guy who robbed me on 11th street was white. The knife sort of took
it out of the "pan handle" category.

The other 2 incidents were late at night, one just off Nichols Avenue
(now MLK), one on Wheeler Road.

Why the hell would you keep going back?
