I graduated from Davis too! '99. Was Mr O'Brien still there back in 1980?
Davis was a lot like that when I went there. It would just be stupid to start trouble there... I never saw someone packing, but I knew that someone must be. There was even one teacher who admitted to keeping a CC weapon in his car while teaching, haha. Yakima as a city comes with a certain level of respect and dignity reguardless of who you are or how much money you have. I haven't really experienced that anywhere else.
The hookers story is classic yakima. No more hookers around when I lived there though.
Davis was a very interesting school to go to. My favorite things included the taco vans at lunch, daily drug busts in the bathrooms, getting my car broken into, etc. Sounds bad, but really it isn't. Everyone there will be cool to you if you are cool to them. No stupid cliches or jocks picking on nerds crap.
As far as crime moving west of 16th, I remember the 1st time that a murder happened west of my house (pleasant ave, 2 or 3 blocks east of 16th)... someone got killed at Larson park where I used to swim in the wading pool when I was 3. I knew a guy in highschool who killed someone there over a drug deal... Was no friend of mine though.
The stuff that happened to me there is minor next to the stuff that I've heard about happening to people.
