I'm 29. I lived literally 3 blocks away from this station since I was 7. It's kinda weird because despite alot of the area being "hood" for almost 20 years, it was relatively safe. I never felt in danger walking into that station as a kid. All shootings and robberies tended to happen in the next stop over at RFK stadium. After gentrification happened with all these trendy bars, restaurants, and condos came up, that's when crime skyrocketed in the last 5 years at the station for some odd reason

I swear u the first person on here to not call SE a hellhole of some kind and u even gave a reason why people still prefer NE and NW. As a SE native, for the longest time I never understood why transplants prefer NW neighborhoods like Columbia heights, seat pleasant, ivy City and more when there is just as much shootings there as SE. My best friend lives near Columbia heights and he has seen drive-bys and a dead body from his window.

I been going there since I was a kid and I ALWAYS get the soft roll. The one time I got the hard roll I swear I thought my jaw was gonna fall off. Like u, I don't understand how hard stale ass bread is the "right" way but I wouldn't advise it for first-timers
