The last two years I was in the Navy I was stationed in Annapolis. We

that were "rough". Haven't been back since other than some business
trips to the Pentagon and one weekend for Rolling Thunder.


had never been there.

In the 70s, the real bad spots were mostly in Southeast, east of the
river. You could get in trouble north of about M street and east of
the park too but it wasn't like "soufeese".
IBM had a map, marked up, in the break room at the education center
(1801 K st) with places you should not go.
