Insulated

Not that I don’t miss some things about D.C. and all …

… but last year the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which oversees the entire 12-million-people metropolis of Tokyo, reported 143 homicides. Washington, with a population of about 563,000 people, had 198.

But right now I’ll take the higher murder rate just to catch some shows at the 9:30 and Black Cat.
