And there are approximately 5 non-white, non-black murders a year there.

I went to Baltimore once to visit a cousin. I'm not going again. I lived in Detroit for many years so it's not like I had never heard gun shots before, but I didn't even want to go outside for fear of strays

One of my friends made the app.  He said he was going crazy testing it, because while he knew there'd be a disparity, he didn't know it would be that big.  In the end, he says he went through all the records by hand to verify the data, and it is correct.

I asked him about that, and he said he needs the cooperation of local police to really do this effectively (in order to get the precise addresses), and also access to a local newspaper's archives/file structure (he works for the paper in question in Baltimore).  He's been getting lots of emails from people asking to do it to their cities.

I'm from Arlington, though I only lived there until I was like 4 and I don't remember living there.  I also lived there from like 2001-2003.

In the early 2000s (which I also coincidentally do not remember) I was working and living in Georgetown, and during that period, it was getting all torn up and constructiony with the sort of projects that take far too long to complete.  I really liked pre-torn-up Georgetown a lot, and if circumstances were a little different, I might have ended up staying in the area.

well georgetown now is nice again

there's a lot of construction in the area between dupont and GT but it's actually progressing but M st has managed to become absolutely horrible in regards to the chain storification of that area.  we now haunt places like U St, Capital Heights and the like for our interesting stores.

One of the effects of the construction (and of course there were other causes) is that all the cool independent stores in Georgetown were closing up by the time I left.  The construction killed sales, and it was like, mostly chains left.  I'd imagine that chains have completely taken over the empty slots from the quirky and independent stores.  It felt like it was losing a lot of its character when I was leaving.
