True story: I have a friend (about 25 and a fairly large dude) who lives in a high-rise 1800/mo 1 BR at braddock metro. My friend has to walk through the projects just to get home from the metro. Often he tells me about kids provoking him, and throwing shit at him trying to get a rise out of him. One day he was walking and some dude straight ran up and punched him between his shoulder blades. Now, he carries a concealed daily just to walk home.

Alexandria is a great place, lots of bars, lots of restaurants, but the city putting projects right in the damn middle of it was stupid. Not only that, but they are expanding the projects (and building them a 15 million dollar fitness center).
