[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one that freaks me out is the big dude with the suitcases who sleeps in that filthy smelly corner outside the Target, right as you come up the Metro escalator.  He is right there with his suitcases, you  practically have to step on him to get off the escalator.

It is the seedy Friendship Place and St. Columba's attracting this crowd, along with the vouchers,  homeless shelter, etc.  Welcome to the NEW, VIBRANT Tenleytown. Enjoy the VIBES.

If you are in an apartment, they will do everything possible to put one of these people in your unit to combat "Black displacement."

There was a woman in a wheelchair screaming bloody murder outside the Tenleytown recently.

These people need permanent lifelong psych lock up.  [/quote]

[i]Here you go. Put these numbers in your phone. They will listen to your description and then direct an appropriate response, zero judgment. You do not have to supply your name, just what you are observing and the intersection or other identifying feature of the address such as "corner outside Tenleytown Target". Your taxes are paying for city services to intervene, but you need to call it in for them to be dispatched [/i]
