There are some parts of PG County that have serious problems, but most
of the county ain't that way. Hell, you're such a pee down your pants
leg old whitey racist, you won't even go to DC. You must have been one
hell of a brave soldier.

If I didn't have a reason to go to DC, I wouldn't either...


It's a beautiful city with many first-rate museums, restaurants, and
parks. I can see why someone from ****ville, Illinois, wouldn't like it.

The bride and I rode through DC on Rte 1 one night around 9 PM. It kind

The last two years I was in the Navy I was stationed in Annapolis. We
went to DC regularly, often to entertain house guests and/or relatives
who had never been there. This was in 1975-1977. Never felt unsafe
although there were sections of the city surrounding the Capital area
that were "rough". Haven't been back since other than some business
trips to the Pentagon and one weekend for Rolling Thunder.

Whenever we have guests who've not seen the sights in DC, we always start with a
visit at night. The Capitol, monuments, White House, etc, are nicely very nicely lit
up. The Lincoln Memorial, Korean War Memorial and Vietnam Memorial are especially
beautiful at night. And, parking is readily available to visit those.

No, I wouldn't want to take a walk through the Logan Circle, Columbia Heights, or
Trinidad neighborhoods. A quick look at DC homicides might show why.

Of course, I don't have the courage Harry thinks he has.

That whole Federal Triangle area and south is well patrolled and
generally safe. That is where all of the monuments are anyway and very
pleasant on a warm evening. On cold nights, the steam grates tend to
collect homeless people.

My wife is in DC most days of the work week and attends meetings all
over the city, and I'm in DC at least twice a week, and because of the
nature of the business of one of my clients (low income housing
construction), I often drive or Metro to some "rough" neighborhoods. In
all the years I have been doing this - in fact - in all the years I've
been working, attending functions, going to museums, shows, restaurants
in DC - I've never had the slightest problem. Once I "got a little lost"
driving home from an event in Anacostia at night, and I stopped at a
convenience store for directions. There were a lot of guys "hanging out"
in front of the place, and I simply said "Hi Guys" going in while my
wife sat in the car. No problems.

The only "thug" I've encountered in this area was over in Fairfax
County, Virginia.
