3. I worked around Tacoma Park during that period - a real mixed bag.

There are really three Tacoma Parks
- Montgomery County, MD
- Prince George County, MD
- Washington DC

The Montgomery County was much more part of the white and privileged group altho it was heavily inhabited by a lot of people who really cared about equality and fairness and were very socially active. Still, their property values were much higher than the other areas.

PG had some real poverty issues as well as the attendant drug problems of those times.

DC was pretty nice but suffered from being far away from the center of the capital.

The Metro was built straight through these neighborhoods further separating any track-side differences.

There were many instances of cross-border chases and difficulties altho usually not as bad as this one.
