Thanks guys...I'll be sure to warn my daughter about Dave (hell, it's bad enough she's working with pilots now...my friends are pilots...oh the stories!). My co-workers were asking how she could bring a date home with her father there...lol! Anyway, I got this quote from a review of an apartment in Arlington, then noticed several other gang references in other posts:

I wouldn't recommend moving here. This Alexandria apartment complex, like pretty much EVERY apartment complex along the Rte. 1 corridor from as far south as Woodbridge all the way up to Old Towne, is becoming 'gang territory'. How do I know all of this? I used to gang bang for almost a decade. Born and raised in Alexandria, Va. Next time you're running errands along Rte. 1, take a GOOD look at the types of individuals around you. Not every gangster is going to look like Hollywood portrays them. Especially the every growing Spanish culture gangsters. I know this all too well because ANYWHERE I go I have to watch my back. This complex, Beacon Hill complex, Cherry Arms complex, Mt. Vernon complex, Meadow Woods complex, Sacremento complex. I know of these personally as I stay AWAY from those areas as a precaution in case any of the immigrant wanna-be gangsters read or recognize my tattoos. You all are better off moving farther south in Virginia. Though there is still gang activity in the south, it has yet to reach the potential that it has reached up north.

Current leader (and really only solid lead) is the Dorchester Tower Apts on Columbia Pike (244?) near Washington Blvd and 395 in Arlington. Since my daughter works non-rush times, hopefully an easy commute for her....for me......we'll see.

Truely I hate this. I was all set last night, but the reviews on the places pushed by Bolling Housing had receieved horrible horrible reviews. I'm picking up on Friday and getting a bit tense today. Worse move to date was to Germany....hope this goes better.

thanks everyone
