Not yet, promised wife I'd wait for her to come back from work trip. BTW, that plaza is great. Automatically improved options for lots of residents in terms of a gathering place and spot to hang out.

More than one study has shown that criminals do NOT use public transportation to unfamiliar places 25 miles away to commit crime with NO way to get back after said crime but public transit. And unless these said criminals or "ghetto" teenagers are wearing their birth certificates on their sleeves, it's pretty bold to assume they all originate from a particular area.

It remains to be seen whether crime will spike because of the Silver Line. Do you really think overpaid lobbyists and single-source government contractors are going to take Metro to facilitate their criminal activity? We'll see.

Time to come to grips with that reality... before you move to Arizona or Utah atleast.


First of all, no one said "Pentagon City" can be seen from my residence in Upper Marlboro. I visit Pentagon City quite frequently.

Also, what does my future move to "Arizona or Utah" have to do with this? Please stay on topic. BTW, are you that concentrated or angry that you have to study my posts from various threads having nothing to do with this one in order to come up with more of your irrelevant arguments? Please stick to your field technology since both your psychological & telescopical readings are way off course!

And in these "quite frequent" trips to Pentagon City you have been somehow assaulted, attacked, or robbed by the ghettofication, as you put it, that has occurred? Or is your perception that of a person who sees people different than themselves in dress, demeanor, or race and generally assumes that they are bad news despite having no actual communication with them? You have perhaps some sort of ghetto meter that reads out like a gieger counter as you approach lethal doses of ghetto? I think you can take iodine pills if you are truly concerned.
