[Happy Monkey]

Will you bring a stepladder?

I haven't been in many GC's, but the ones I have been in, in Northern VA, had high walls surrounding them and a gate that opened directly onto a major road.

And the atmosphere - I've never been more creeped out in my life.

I'll never dispute the right of GC's to exist, but damn if they aren't some of the creepiest little antisocial mini police states you can find in the US. On the other hand, they attract GC-type people away from other neighborhoods.
