[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Things in DC we’re definitely worse in the early 90s. That said post-pandemic the social fabric is fraying a bit. [/quote]

Were you here then? I was and I disagree in many respects. Crime was less random and did not tend to occur in broad daylight and with witnesses, as it does today. Metro was fairly safe and far more orderly. Flash mob robberies of CVS and grocery stores and a thriving resale market on the street were not common. Undercover policing was active in Adams Morgan, now vice squads do not exist in neighborhoods, Lanier ended them at a safer time. Etc., etc. [/quote]

DP. I was there. Everyone had bars on their windows, 14th St was for people buying sex services, Adams Morgan was sketchy, there was a riot in Mount Pleasant, and homicides reached a peak of 509 in 1991.[/quote]

I was here then too. If you weren’t you can’t imagine 14th street then. As a PP said, literally hookers and [b]drug dealers visible everywhere.[/b] [/quote]

Check out the corner of 7th and H Sts. Your memories will come back to life.[/quote]

U around 14th has really regressed too, the area around the McDonalds is wild at all hours. [/quote]
