Is Springfield really going down teh shitter....

[mpg9999]

I think that alot of the areas along Route 1 are worse as well. I think alot of your problems stem from the fact that you drive a honda. My Sentra, even with my SR20 Power plates, has never been broken into. Of course, I'm also more intimidating then a pit bull. People see me and know not to mess with me :lol:

they need to remove the Metro stop then... :roll:...seriously, that exponentially made it much worse 0-2 years after it was built. honestly the area really hasn't gotten that bad until late in my Senior year. I would consider annandale and bailey's crossroads a little worse than most of springfield. i would have to say that the area between Springfield and Annandale (up the Backlick area) is one of the worst in the areas except for (obviously) SE and NE DC, woodbridge, and most of Maryland near the DC border. Springfield is responsible for all but one of my break-ins (1 car theft - springfield mall, 2 break-ins, and 1 "left the car on bricks" incident...[thinking]did that really happen?[/thinking] hock: ) and i lived on the alexandria/springfield border.

i know that bank and it has very few windows and two major roads by it with I-95 and the FFx parkway not that far away. It's also about 2 miles from my house...i pass by it almost every day.
