Walgreens is ghetto

Jumped from the frying pan into the start of a fire... yes, the slums of NY are nowhere close to Waldorf - BUT it is getting worse as the years progress.

Who are buying these homes? For the most part it is people from PG county escaping the push from DC... unfortunately, their children are coming into an area and their minds are already 'effed up wanting to live like a thug - but they are nowhere close to it... just a bunch of wanna be's. These punks run around the streets and cause problems... their ghetto buddies still in the 'hood' come down and visit and play gansta'. The cops are getting pissed and are busting heads. I invite you to listen to a scanner on Friday and Saturday night, you would be amased.

Glad you are in a nice area, there are some small pockets in St. Charles (in the older area where you are) that have nice people. For the most part - it is trashed...

My remarks are not snide - they are my personal feelings of how I really feel... if you come in here with one hand on your hip and the other with one finger in the air waving around saying "it 'aint ghetto" well you are going to hear it the way people really feel. :coffee:

:gossip: it's experienced not experianced...

you're entitled to your opinion, but the way you express it is ghetto in itself. How ironic.

Thanks for disregarding my comment that stated I have yet to experiance any of that here in Waldorf.

And you've been there how long? Yea, right. I used to work in the mall office and on any given day there were robberies in the parking lot in broad daylight. The mall manager always seemed to find ways to down play these. I remember the shooting right outside of Penney's a few years back, it was bad, but what got out to the public was way different than it really happened. Lord knows the mall can't lose any more customers. You go right ahead and live in your little world with your false sense of security but one day when you least expect it, you'll get a first hand taste of the crime that really goes down.

Crime to me is me leaving my apartment in NY and didn't walk 15 feet and there thugs out on the corner selling rock. Crime to me is having a club on my steering wheel but yet it still got stolen after 2 months of me buying it. Crime to me is my boyfriend getting robbed at gunpoint in broad daylight at a mall in Queens.

I'm not living in my own little world. I've seen and experianced more crime then your lil barbie azz has probably seen in your entire lifetime. So yes Waldorf is a step up for me....If i haven't experianced any of those things in 6 years, I must be living in the right place.

Why were you working in the mall if Waldorf is so ghetto? Wouldn't common sense tell you, "im too afraid to work up there, let me find a job close to home?" People who make fun of this town and belittle it and the people who reside there (like myself) are the same ones contributing to the business in the town. So why?

"its actually annoying to hear people call waldorf ghetto. I too am from NY and 1/2 the people complaining about waldorf being ghetto don't even know what the hell ghetto means.
I'm fully aware of this walgreens and that whole shopping area, i live 5 minutes from there. I've been living in waldorf for 6 years now and IM NOT MOVING. I love it here. They are building more houses, more apartments, more restaurants, more stores, what more could u ask for? except more ROADS for the traffic.
If you can't handle waldorf or can't stand it, please stop cloggin our traffic on route 5 north coming from st. marys/calvert county all the way up till leonardtown road to the best buy just to go shopping."


I think aunt jemima here must live in one of the subsidized apts near ghetto walgreens, paying little to no rent.....so why wouldn't she be protecting it? It is great for her!! sittin on her ass, collecting welfare,,with 10 babies, and 10 diff baby daddies

... I don't agree with Qurious, but I think calling her "Aunt Jemima" is going a little far...

The crimes you talk about in New York happen on a daily basis in Waldorf, don't you read the paper?

And the reason I am not working there any longer is because I was afraid. Waldorf wasn't always bad, but when it got bad, that's when I left. I lived in Waldorf for many years, and the night the police chased a vehicle down my street and the vehicle ended up in my dining room because some idiot decided he wanted to car jack some woman at gun point was the last straw for me. My house went up for sale. From then on, it has only gotten worse. I don't have any reason to go to Waldorf now.

It is happening here... there are certain neighborhoods in Waldorf AND LaPlata which are like that, selling drugs right on the corner. Cars are getting stolen and robberies are every weekend... it just does not make the paper to ease the community into thinking there is not a problem. Like I said, buy a scanner and listen.

:smack: It is experience, not experiance... it is spelled different than how you say it...

Lil' Barbie Azz - thought you did not stoop that low? Guess you are not over it...

Sometimes you can only get the job you can get...

What is your contribution to the "town" of Waldorf?

BTW - we all contribute to Waldorf, we all go shopping there like everyone else; but we leave our rose colored glasses at home.

Heh... how do you greet something like that? Shock? Fear? Concern? Rage?

I can't even imagine!

The LaPlata CSM campus scares the crap out of me. I was leaving my one class I had up there (1 night every 3 weeks, I figured my odds were good) and no sooner did I walk out the door of my building a fight was going down not 30 feet from where I walked. I tell you, I never got to my car, unlocked it, and relocked it again so fast in all my life!

So thugs are hanging out on the corners of Waldorf selling rock every day? I mean seriously, if u are going to argue Waldorf is ghetto please don't make up B.S. like this. Where did you live in Waldorf before you moved? Maybe it was the neighborhood, because I am aware that SOME neighborhoods do have problems and a lot of drugs and crimes. But to generalize and say the entire town of Waldorf is ghetto is just being biased and you sound silly.

If you have no reason to come back to Waldorf, where are you getting your information from that it is so bad if you've had no experiances (since you haven't lived here)???

It wasn't pleasant, middle of the night, we were all asleep. Everything you named, I felt.
I'd guess it's one of those situations you can't gauge how you'd react until it happens.

And I'm sure the end result, after you go through the range of emotions, ends with a "What were the odds of that happening to me?"
