There is not enough money to make me live in DC even though it would be very convenient for work. In 4 years, I'm relocating to Chicago or San Francisco. I have no problem with big, crowded cities but DC falls flat. Good work opportunities, though. |

[quote=Anonymous]No. We rarely go into DC for anything other than work. We shop, eat out, and do all our recreational activities out here in the burbs. I doubt we're alone. DC just doesn't have the saw draw as NYC does. Its not the same caliber city or cultural center. [/quote]
Then why are you on this board? |

What do you see as positive or are you just trolling? |

[quote=Anonymous]The term refers to less-affluent, "lower class" people who live in Staten Island, Queens, etc. Wealthy suburbanites driving in from Potomac or Great Falls does not fit the bill.[/quote]
suburbanites "do" ... watch the agreement |

Have lived in Chicago 9 years and the District now for 13. Please. SF, sure. Manhattan, Paris, London or Tokyo, of course. Chicago is a very large cow town with an important place in agricultural and manufacturing history. |

[quote=Anonymous]Have you been to any of the new clubs downtown or on H street lately? Many of these people have to be from bumblefuck, VA. I get what what "corkscrew curls" means when she says "b&t crowd"..[/quote]
On the other hand, you must have gone yourself to observe them. What does that say about you? |

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've lived in Logan for 10 years and I totally think DC has a bridge and tunnel crowd (more pronounced in recent years as they perceive the city to be safer).. It's the bros in brown flip flops you see at The Standard on the weekends with their girlfriends in tiny tops. They live in nova.[/quote]
Now that they feel safe parking their SUVs on our city streets. [/quote] And you both feel safe to judge them on an anonymous internet forum. |

[quote=Anonymous]Yes, they invade Logan, U St, H St, and Georgetown every weekend. [/quote]
As do you. |

Then why are you here. Signed, a Native Washingtonian. DC Bashing is very annoying from people who moved here. Hey, you moved here. If DC is so unbearable, why aren't you in NYC or the Bay Area? |

If you don't care (watch those punctuation mark placements), why were you compelled to post that? |

[/quote] Great, but as you just pointed out, you've lived in DC for 4 more years than you did in Chicago, so obviously you like something about this city. What BTW is that? |

And that most topics on here don't just pertain to those who live in the district. |

Perhaps her readers are curious about moving here. |
