This may seem like sarcasm 'cos it's from me and that's what I'm best at.
It's not intended to be.
It's a common sociological fear that suburbanites have of urban areas, and
this is the root of Drew's fear of downtown. He lives 20-25 minutes from
the area discussed and probably gets there 3 times a year after dark.
Don't sweat it, kids. Drew and I are big and hulking and scary, but I
personally know lots of little dainty folk that frequent the area, own bars
down there, etc. I get to night time Over-the-Rhine once a week usually.
