OMG. This is possibly the dumbest thing I have ever heard. |
Agree. And speaking of Old Town, how can you knock it? Historical, beautiful, fun. |
Hey-- I am the Arlington poster that said I LOVE Oldtown and like the WF on Duke better than the one in Clarendon. If it weren't for the quality of the public schools that historic Oldtown feeds into-- I'd be there instead of here! |
OMG that has to be the dumbest reason to hate a city that I have ever heard of. |

I live right next to Old Town and have no problem knocking it. ' It's got too many restaurants that are meh and almost zero interesting shopping. |
You aren't paying attention to the right things. *Sigh* |
Really? A higher crime rate necessitating higher insurance prices is a dumb reason not to live some place... I heard Detroit is lovely this time of year. |
You are right. It has the glass stache. The only redeeming value in an ontgerwise over stuffy area suffering from average restaurants and a nice view of a river we can all see in Arlington, dc, and parts of md. |
You must be referring to South Arlington. My comments are only about North Arlington. Alexandria can have South Arlington- OP. |
| I agree. There is something off about this WF. I live equal distance from Clarendon WF and OT WF and 9 times out of 10, I choose to go to the Clarendon WF. I actually dread when I end up at the OT WF. |
| Alexandria...smells like sewage from May to October. Delightful. I worked in Old Town for 8 years. If I had my way I would never go back there. |
I don't make my living decisions on an annual cost of a few hundred dollars per year. |
| What about Del Ray? Old Town is touristy, but Del Ray is fabulous. I love walking around Old Town to admire the architecture, eating at one of the restaurants in Del Ray, and living in Rosemont. |
| I love Old Town Whole Foods. I've been going there for five years and they still have some of the same staff who I find friendly and helpful. I also love living in this area. |
