After a few years spending Halloween in the West Village, nothing shocks me anymore!
Same here. Living in the DC area (spent most of my young life working IN Dc) has jaded my patootie like nothing else!!
While I was working in DC, I had to deliver graphic jobs to this one customer -- right in the heart of Gangbanger Central. About every other time I went to the office, there'd be a chalk outline and fresh blood drying on the sidewalk.
Twice, I drove right through gangbang shoot-outs. Needless to say, my insurance company raised my rates after the SECOND time I had to get the bullet-holes bonded over. :/
Never again will I willingly live in or work in the DC area. Nope!!
