2 pages, wow. Every LE agency in D.C. is out tonight with the State of the Union. Hopefully its all cleared up in the morning.

ahaha this thread turned out to be full of hilarities.

10/10

they pretty much go away after the conclusion of SOTU once the President has been transported back to the WH

1/29/2008 8:50:40 AM

usually threads that turn out to be hilarious span more than a single page plus a few posts... and they dont get bumped by the main troll as soon as they get on tww the next day

i think you're giving yourself a little too much credit. even the one where magnumPI was trolling like 6 people at once wasnt totally hilarious, but its a lot closer to a 10/10 than this one

just saying

1/29/2008 9:39:07 AM

^^it's not awful

but there are nicer parts of town imo...assuming you mean NW and not NE

if youre talking NE....less desirable quadrant

the NE 11th & Fl Ave is near the H st corridor, but if you deviate off H at night you're just asking to be robbed (no racist)

agreed, i'm 3 blocks off the h street corridor towards the capitol hill neighborhood, and i never venture too far to the other side

DC is a city, period. Just because crackheads may not have their homebase in NW doesn't mean they can't wander into it. NE doesn't scare me nearly as bad as SE though. My favorite while living there this summer was the homeless man peeing on a Jaguar in broad daylight right in front of Whole Foods on P Street

one thing I noticed about DC... you don't see handguns here. All handguns are ILLEGAL. If you SEE a handgun, you are probably going to be SHOT with said handgun... they carry a serious charge here - so people don't generally carry them, and if they do, you won't see it unless you're about to be fired upon. Just maintain common sense and you'll be ok.

In NC, I saw hadguns all the time. I was also robbed at gunpoint in Raleigh... never happened in DC and I walk all over the place.

haha, yeah my friend was walking home one night and some guy attempted to mug him and he was like "are you fucking kidding me?" .....The dude just walked away.

1/29/2008 10:28:27 AM

Yeah I've had a run-in with a crackhead or 2 - most residents have. They're easy to deal with.

1/29/2008 10:33:37 AM

yeah, just give em some crack and send em on their way

1/29/2008 10:37:56 AM

getting a gun stuck in your face puts hair on your chest

1/29/2008 10:38:15 AM

i got these cheeseburgers man

1/29/2008 10:41:58 AM

i think my neighboors are running an operation out of their house

definitely entertaining

1/29/2008 10:53:42 AM

there's not really much to SE these days unless you're out past Potomac Ave...although in the summer, I ride my bike out to Anacostia park to play softball and run down east capitol to RFK and back and ive never had any trouble. but esp below the 395 freeway, when people used to say crack was in DC...they were referring to the 1st, 2nd 3rd St. and K/M St. SE area...it was gangster...i watched some documentary about it...

the only time ive truly felt unsafe in the city was one night over the summer I was up near H St. NE (by the hipster bars for some reason) and we decided to be drunk and walk to Union Station to metro up the redline to cleveland park....about halfway through the walk we were definitely being stalked up the block by a group of dudes, and one guy on a bike kept making wide circles around us...

so we hailed a cab as quickly as possible and threw up the reverse a town down

truuuu

one of my friends got a gun pulled on him about 7 blocks east of the capitol (700 block of E Cap) about two weeks ago...which is about as nice an area as you can get outside of upper NW

On my first job interview in DC, I told the lady I was looking at places to move in DC - she said "Just stay away from SouthEast"

I immediately knew I didn't want to work for that woman. My cousin has a nice "green" house on a nice street in Southeast off Pennsylvania Ave. I was actually staying there for a week before that interview; never heard anything, never saw or heard of any trouble.

What a dumb bitch.

1/29/2008 1:26:46 PM

Back to Raleigh in Few

1/29/2008 2:01:39 PM

1/29/2008 7:50:14 PM

a little out of my price range, but thanks
right now im looking in the arlington area near the metro station

1/29/2008 8:30:52 PM

Ballston is good.

There's also Pentagon City, and Maryland around White Flint or Bethesda isn't too bad.

1/29/2008 8:32:20 PM

thanks

my goal is to spend less than 400 for 3 nights

1/29/2008 8:40:46 PM

Second Ballston, also try the Courthouse area in Arlington.

This hotel is nice and within walking distance to both Courthouse & Clarendon.
Rosslyn is good if you want to hang out in Georgetown. You can stagger home if necessary.

Driving back to Raleigh tonight was nuts! Trees flying across the road, and man the car sucked some gas fighting the wind.
