Seriously?

Terrible. I've lived in PG for 17 years and there is no way I would even consider Langley Park.

That was 95% of the reason we left. In terms of shopping and things to do, there were plenty. In fact I felt like there was much more to do with close proximity to Annapolis,Baltimore and DC than we now have in Montgomery county. I was very happy with my shopping options as well - wegmans, Macy's, MOMs organics.

...with close proximity...

Proximity means close. So close closeness?

it's a common idiom that means very close, you complete dick

Bad grammar, not a ‘common idiom’. Obviously a product of the PGC school system.

That t-shirt is AWESOME! I gotta figure out where to find one. My boyfriend (black) literally just told me a story about how a white woman who got on the elevator with him was terrified. He was dressed in a suit, is 59 years old and had a bat with him in a protective glass covering (special Nat's bat). He said the woman looked like she might jump out of her skin.

That's why that t-shirt is true and awesome.

Obviously, there are parts of DC where DCUM people tend to live, and the same is true of PG County. University Park, Historic Hyattsville, Mt. Rainier, Calvert Hills, etc... are full of White, grad-school educated families who can afford to send their kids to good private schools while coming home to a gorgeous houses in tree-lined neighborhoods every evening, then biking over to Whole Foods for fresh bread for dinner. It's Suburu and pool club heaven over there. Get a clue, people. And of course, there are parts of DC where many have been downtrodden and under or unemployed for generations, and where you have to learn to duck when a fight breaks out to avoid bullets.

More importantly, who in the DMV lives their life in just one jurisdiction? I honestly don't know anybody here who doesn't cross state/District lines at least a few times a week once they have kids. This is a region that offers all sorts of great things to those who live here, and also has some really entrenched social problems in various pockets. There are people with a DC address who never go to the SI museums and events, and people with MD addresses who are there a few times a month. DC people drive out to Rockville, Pentagon City, or PG for their shopping trips all the time, and this was especially true before there was a DC Costco. (Although even now, many DC people still go to the Pentagon City Costco.) People go from MD to NOVA to eat in the API restaurants out there. There are vast areas of DC that don't have good restaurants, and the people who live there still manage to eat out by going to other neighborhoods or jurisdictions. Stop acting like anybody here can walk to everything they want and need in their own neighborhood or even their own state/district.

Preach!
