used to party all over that area as well as the Jazz clubs in the Adams
Morgan and U St. areas, a little bit in Georgetown (bar hopping more than
clubbing there) and used to hit the downtown clubs around 7th - 9th and F.
Very safe, fun areas.

Dupont? Georgetown? Even over by the U Street area where I sometimes bar
hop. There are plenty of great areas. You just have to know where to go.
There a parts of NOVA and Southern Maryland that I would certainly not go
to
at night unarmed.

there are no "OK" parts of town in DC :) they are all in the suburbs :)
This being said I just couldn't let the statement past, but I have no
basis for comparing DC to Philly and very little to NY. However, I don't
agree that any big city is dangerous. There are quite a few cities with
the
same population as DC where I would happily go for a stroll at night.
Houston and San Antonio come to mind and so do Albuquerque and Portland
OR,
though I will grant you that the latter two are probably somewhat smaller.
If we are talking about doing business... I have to admit that Mike's
post
arrived more or less sui generis in my inbox, and I wondered what he was
talking about... the DC government gives new meaning to the term "criminal
enterprise" :)
