Yep.

Back when I had a few gigs in that area somebody looked at my car and 
apparently decided it was worth stealing.

My band was semi-regularly at Living Art coffeehouse right on the corner 
of 36th and N Davidson, which has since become The Evening Muse (say hi 
to Lea and Joe for me). Although there were shady characters walking 
around in that area after dark, nothing happened until we played down 
the street at The Neighborhood Theatre one winter's night: I walked out 
of the stage door to find that some idiot tried to take the Duster by 
breaking in the back window, opening the rest of the doors, and then 
tearing apart the ignition. (I say idiot because they failed to steal 
it. It hadn't even moved. They obviously couldn't start it.) If I had a 
DeLorean I'd be more careful.

Then again neighborhoods have their ups and downs, and I hear that an 
influx of cash and some not-so-public housing developments have helped 
raise the profile and lower the crime rate of that area. I haven't been 
there in a while, though. I guess I'll check it out the next time I'm in 
town. All the same, I think the storage room is a good idea.

It's this old house that they've taken out the second floor, and made it so you can see up inside it... all of the furniture is hung upside down from the ceilings... there are entire rooms up there. It's really cool. Do you have any bad experiences with NoDa or something?
