If the person was in that area on a warm summer night, I can guarantee you that he or she will be in the news the following day and parents will mourn over the person at his or her funeral. Any police officer will tell you the traditional news and statistics. It is safer in your area so bring the person to where you are so that he or she can be safe.

Maryland used to be so much fun. I remember how great it was in the 50's and 60's for shopping, and I rode the trolley from the ERCO housing development to Riverdale for an ice cream cone in the little restaurant mom and pop place. There was also a shoe repair shop on the corner. Things have changed for the worse. Maryland got so frantic, and greedy. It's hard to find the old landmarks when I go back. I recall pony rides, and roadside vegetable and fruit stands.
