I'm not sure how much she has hung out at Fed Ex, or driven around to look
for food or gas, but I can assure you it's not the best. We run all of our
events there during the season and have plenty of experience with the
accomodations. I also work all over D.C., so my comparisons are relative.
Most of the people I work with live in D.C., and I can assure you that none
live around Fed Ex.
That said, it's certainly not unsafe in the daytime.
BTW, I never said the crime issue was things being "stolen".

Brian,
My sister has lived in DC for the past 25 years. She said the
area isn't that bad. By the same token she has offered to put
Tammy and I up for the weekend (we like a king bed and being
close to the site). I'm not trying to flame but offering an
alternative opinion. Heck, people have had stuff stolen at Topeka
and San Diego.
Lemmy see, college bars means college girls. . . . . .
Where's the downside/ Tammy WILL be dope slapping me in a moment.
