Here’s the location where 3-10 drug dealers sit every day, unchallenged. Coincidentally it’s close to the post office where people keep getting shot. If selling drugs is still illegal: (38.8496533, -77.1285570)
Here’s a lesser known place. Look for the 35 year old guy, dark complexion, 5’10” with a beer belly/medium build. He wears a white tank top and sits at the bus stop all day under the tree cover across from the bowling alley:

If the police care (or if it’s possible to prosecute these guys, I imagine it would take no more than 30-60 minutes watching them to get probable cause.
Good information, thank you! My daughter works nearby the first location and I have been telling her to be very cautious in that area.
