Dear PoPville – What is basic DC common sense?

Dear PoPville,

Basically, I’m a recent transplant to DC (Dupont / Logan Circle / U Street area) and obviously have been attune to the recent crime alerts, both on your site and a few others.

It seems like your readership has a pretty good grasp of places and streets to avoid but as someone new to the area, I honestly have no idea.

It seems like typical street smarts don’t always cut it these days, so basically I was wondering if you’d maybe open some comments to a basic field guild of “DC common sense,” if only to keep ignorant types like myself out of your crime report ranks.
