My route to work is like that. I have to drive through a section of street in DC that services MD and VA drug purchasers - it is among the highest grossing illegal substance sales locations in DC. Apparently (and this comes as no surprise to me) there are occasional shootouts there over drug/money disputes. The only other way to get to work involves driving through an industrial area (junkyards and a cement plant) that is *too* quiet at night and not lit well enough for me to be comfortable driving through. At least the drug street is directly adjacent to the 24-hour gate of Fort McNair, where there are always at least 2 MPs on duty.
