Hey, Bill. No. the yellow areas are NO needle exchange zones, as are the purple and gray. The only areas that would allow exchanges are WHITE. That's my interpretation, looking at the PDF and legend. Download it and take a look.

If you click on the link to the full map (with legend), you'll see it's WASA's Blue Plains Waste treatment facility (classified as "Local/Restricted")

Um, the yellow is the free-to-exchange zone, yes? But what's the purple?

Yep, Andrew. More like the Dalecarlia reservoir. Good luck to a non-profit trying to establish one up there. This map still serves some accessible haunts for Heroin and other IV Drug users. East Capitol and Minnesota Avenue (Greenway Shopping Center), along with New York Avenue (parallel to train tracks) and Montana Avenue to name a few.

LL, did you just add some script to this blog. The first time I read it, I didn't see all your details.

so, basically, almost nowhere. Looks like needle party time at McMillan Reservoir though!
