Which Crackhouse?

10May08

I thought this was pretty funny. Over heard in Washington DC .

Overheard of the Week

A man and a woman are walking dogs in Logan Circle:

Man: “You look familiar…”
Woman: “I think we are neighbors. 1st and Bates?”
Man: “Yeah, we live on the 1st street side.”
Woman: “Ah, I live near the crackhouse on Bates.”
Man: “Can you be more specific?”
Woman: “The RED crackhouse on Bates.”

Anyway aren’t crack houses so 1980s. I seriously can’t remember the last time anyone brought up crack houses in conversation. Maybe it’s just me. I’ve really lost touch with the crack smoking scene since 4th grade.

    I can understand why the man was confused. When you walked by a crackhouse in the 80s, you knew it immediately. Unfortunately crackheads are significantly more camouflage these days – and their houses have followed suit. Today, it’s not uncommon to find a crackhouse with hardwood floors and a subzero refrigerator.
    I guess this is just one more reason to miss the 80s.
