(195,548 posts)3. I don't live in DC but I used to live IN Richmond
Some people I worked with in the late 90s were shocked Id live ALONE in the city. The Fan really great area. I had coworkers ask me about going home in when the sun set early, about getting into my car apartment. Others asked if I had a gun. They never said it outright but they basically thought it was open gun battles all the time.
Never had any kind of a problem. Loved The Fan.
