Cats in all honesty are not the best at dealing with the rat population.

Bro. Whether it's "normal" or not doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things.

This is Baltimore.

Need I say more? I shouldn't anyone that knows this city understands exactly what I am talking about and it's not about tolerating crime, or somehow pretending it doesn't happen. It's being in tune with the sad realities of this place.

Please be assured that what I am speaking on isn't about condoning crime but it's about teaching a new generation HOW to navigate somewhere that's different from what they are used to.

Frankly, that kind of education is priceless and something they can take with them wherever they go in life.

So please don't give me a hard time when I am merely trying to be helpful.

You hit the nail on the head when you mentioned that they are perfectly intelligent young men and women.

That being the case use this opportunity to teach them street smarts.

If the rest of us can learn them why can't they?

What's wrong with educating people who are going to be out and about and be absolutely clueless in the process?

It's a wonderful opportunity for young folks to learn something new. They are young adults that clearly come from a bubble and the primary focus is apparently to preserve that bubble rather than to help them grow as people.

This isn't really about safety, it's about appeasing people with means who clearly could care less about the city or it's people.

If people are that pressed for shakes then they should be willing to pay for them.

Then why not teach it to them as part of urban studies?

Yeah it's only on the Red Line but the other lines are only a few stops away and you can go in any direction you wish. Deep into Virginia and Maryland.

Whereas Baltimore's Metro has a paltry 14 stops that don't go anywhere I want to go.

Someone has a real attitude problem. Maybe you should go outside and take a walk or maybe enjoy a relaxing ride o me a bicycle.

I think you need to go outside and take a walk.

Very true. I've ridden my bike all along Anacostia Park and saw plenty of food with their picnics.

Based on that reasoning you wouldn't have commented on this issue at all.

Flix bus $35

That would take forever

Wow

Honestly, I didn't go to Navy Yard until they started the new construction

Ouch

Yeah very very true

Thanks

The man was a real tough guy for sure. My goodness

Wow! It's amazing how times have changed in DC.

For one they need to bring back lots of apartment housing to K St and the rest of downtown as well.

I remember in the not so distant past when going to the museum was as simple as walking through the doors and not having to go through a metal detector.

I truly miss those days and miss the carefree nature of it.

Wow I didn't know it was once a neighborhood!

Yep

Sure did. I actually forgot that Whole Foods opened at that location so long ago.

Ok, name the ones that will seal properly with a beard.

Aha! Your religion does not require you to be a firefighter. At least done that I have ever heard of and if I'm wrong please correct me.

But if your religion DOES require a beard then this is a no-brainer, practice your religion and do a different job where your beliefs are not compromised.

If you are truly faithful wouldn't your God in turn bless your efforts for such devotion?
