KUOW is currently discussing issues of race, gentrification and community in the Central District. Go check it out.
Some guy just called in to say that the CD is a more dangerous place to live, and when asked about whether it is more dangerous than Capitol Hill, said "Well, not as dangerous as one blue house up on Capitol Hill, but..." He went on to say that "anyplace southwest of 18th and MLK, you better be watching over your shoulder wherever you go."
Granted, we don't live exactly where he describes, but damn close. And we don't feel unsafe in our neighborhood at all. Does that guy live in my neighborhood, or was he just calling in from Ballard?

Most of KUOW's callers are clueless Ballard residents.
i walked by central cinema yesterday and their marquee was advertising "the lair of the white worm." i thought it was about gentrification, but it's just some film with hugh grant. yeah, i was a bit disappointed.
