oh please. its not that bad. other than all those colored folk. you guys wouldnt make it a week in Baltimore! [/b]
LOLOLOL. This is so true! The part about Baltimore. And a lot of them aren't as friendly in Baltimore as they are in DC. There's a lot of hatred and aggression in Baltimore. A lot more racism too, and it goes all ways. Very sad, but true.
I agree that the Ramada and the other hotels on NY are probably the closest (that I know of) to RFK. However, I don't know if I'd want to stay in one of those alone being a female. Wouldn't mind so much with other people or as a male. It's just sketchy enough of an area to warrant a little caution. Although, odds are, the worst thing that would probably happen is that I'd probably be propostioned a lot.
I use to love watching the hookers up and down NY Ave and their wild outfits but I haven't seen that many in a good while. The Vice squad must have sort of cleaned up the area.
BTW, there are
plenty of cabs there. Tons of them!
Your best bet is to find someone to share the room with who can off-set your expenses. I would count on at least a good hundred for a room anywhere nowadays.
