Are we overly obsessed about crime?

I truly and genuinely feel that crime is overrated in terms of our day to day lives. Yes I hate it. I get infuriated when I hear (about) gunshots or muggings etc. but does it really affect your day to day life. I mean sometimes I won’t walk home late at night but don’t we obsess about crime a little too much.


I’m going to be honest with you all. This is my favorite store on U Street. Milliennium located at 1528 U Street is the greatest of the used furniture stores in town for a reasonable price. I got a wicked cool coffee table here a couple of years ago. So now I’m happy to share it with you. It is very unassuming and you’ve probably walked by it dozens of times. It is a basement store so that is easy to do. But the stuff they have, for the price they offer, is tops. I had the chance to talk with one of the owners, Glynn Romero, who told me that the store has been open since 1992. Glynn and his partner have owned the shop for about two and a half years. If you need anything super cool for your home I highly recommend you check it out. Prices range from $5 to $1000 depending upon what you’re looking for. I think I paid like $200 for the sickest coffee table you’ll ever see. Lots of cool photos of their wares after the jump.

You see it’s a fist. I like it. No, I like it a lot. But it, oddly, reminds me of that freaky monkey hand ghost story…great I’m not going to sleep tonight.


It’s all about the second story window. And the balcony, of course.
