[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I can’t believe how this has taken off. I wish I had been more clear in my OP.

The neighborhood is geographically in a very transitional area, I think is the best way to describe it. About a mile from a REALLY high crime area (shootings, stabbings) but then also a mile away from an area will million dollar homes.

FWIW, we are the same race as the family. We are also “DC poor” in our 1000sf home on the “poor” side of town. I’m sure our house has been judged by those wealthier than us.

I said “benefit of the doubt” because I wasn’t sure if the neighborhood would be more like the crime area, or more like the rich area. Our girls go to a magnet school so very diverse.

There weren’t overt signs of crime, but it was a beautiful early spring day and the neighborhood was just so shut up and silent, not a soul outside, no movement, just eerie. I thought, on a day like this why isn’t there a soul outside? It was a gorgeous day. It just felt ominous. Were people not outside for reasons I didn’t know about?

I truly apologize if my post came across as racist or classist as that wasn’t my intent. [/quote]

This seems like you’re trying to revise the way your original post came across bc:

1. You mentioned nothing about how the thing that threw you off was the fact that it was a beautiful day but not one was outside and that felt ominous to you.

2. I live in an expensive area in the McLean/Vienna area. We definitely have tons of times no one is seen outside. So? The only time this would be ominous is in a scene from The Last of Us.

3. Your words were:  Later at pickup, I got weird really vibes. Not the best neighborhood but I gave them the benefit of the doubt. I can’t explain it, but my intuition senses something off and I just felt the need to flee. I’ve never experienced anything like it before. Without prompt, DD later told me that the friend told her she never has friends over and DD was the first school friend to ever come over.

Clearly this isn’t about how no one was seen outside on a beautiful day.

Wow a mile away from crime. Isn't everyone in DC a mile away from a high crime area? Get a freaking clue OP. This thread has taken off because you literally posted doom about a neighborhood you gave the benefit of the doubt to.  [b]Now we learn the benefit of the doubt was about no one being outside on a nice day???????????????[/b]

I think you're going to keep getting roasted or this was a great troll response lol[/quote]

+1 What a bunch of bs! I’ve driven through multimillion dollar neighborhoods and not a soul was outside. I never got a sense of doom or ominous feeling. What a load of crock![/quote]
Well maybe that’s why I couldn’t put my finger on the feeling. I had just come from my similarly economic street and everyone and their brother was out tending to their lawn, walking, playing with kids. It was just so creepily quiet. [/quote]

A quiet neighborhood is creepily quiet? So much so that you’re not comfortable with your kid going there again. Mhm. Nice revision. [/quote]
