I lived in Crystal City for several years (in the high rise right above the Buffalo Wild Wings on 23rd and Crystal Drive).
This is actually a pretty big deal, and far more so than in other urban areas.
Why?
Because Crystal City has a far higher percentage of blind/visually impaired workers than other urban areas. It's the home of numerous Federal contractors and also government agencies with offices dedicated to employing visually impaired professionals. The vast majority of my walks to my office included at the very least 1, if not 3 or 4, encounters with blind pedestrians. Several lived in my building, including my weed hookup back then, who was legally blind although he had SOME peripheral vision. (In 2014 Virginia, weed was most definitely NOT legal, lol)
