If you did, you'd know the layout (and it sucks!).

What sucked for me? I drove with my friends on the way to Gallaudet University and all we saw were houses with bars on windows and doors. And the prices at McDonald's sucked too. And when we stayed at Gallaudet University visiting our friends, we were not allowed out past certain time at night. But if you HAVE to go somewhere, go at your own risk. :eek:

There are other parts you could walk all night without fear. But others...

Oh I know that. I loved the Union Station. Also the zoos and museums. I always tell people that they must go there.

And you didn't go to Inner Harbor to see the U.S.S. Constitution? And the ESPN building? And the aquarium?

No I don't think so. It was in early 90's. We had so many places to choose to visit. The Smithsonian museum was awesome.

I looked after my sister's dogs over the weekend, and they barked and looked scared every time they heard a boom!

I think it must damage their ears.

Fireworks can emit sounds of up to 190 decibels, which is 110 to 115 decibels higher than the 75-to-80-decibel upper range of human hearing. These loud, quick bursts are commonly distressing to many dogs; they can cause irreversible ear damage including tinnitus or loss of hearing.

I believe it's the sharpness of the "bang" coupled with their good hearing that scares them.

I asked people why they think the tweet implies that fireworks are racist, Dumbo.

I don't need to ask NATGEO because I know their tweet implies no such thing.

I just read both the tweet and the article. It is racist, since it implies that fireworks are racist.
You're lying dumbo.
