Pat Knox, thank you!   Many more have to say enough is enough and I've written to the city council numerous times.  I refuse to go to the Broadway Metro now considering the intolerable few blocks that lead to it.    Last year, we had visitors from GA...a young couple in their 30's.   The short walk to O.C.T. was an embarrassment as well as uncomfortable.  Travelers crowded a section of the street that we had to weave though.   They tried to engage us in the strange, loud fun they were having.    They were amused by a fake skull pretending it could talk and they were drugged out of their minds.   I could write about other experiences including being followed for a short time, but  you don't need convincing.  ;)
