re: #51 McSpiff

I accidentally stayed in a fairly rough black neighborhood in DC with the family on a summer trip. We stayed out of people’s way, they stayed out of ours. Only ‘racial incident’ of note was when we went to the grocery store. Several little black boys followed us around laughing. We suspect it was because we were the only white people in the store. Also seemed like groceries were way more expensive in this poor neighborhood…

They always are. I went to Mills College, and we would stock up on groceries at the local Safeway. Ridiculous prices.
