[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I realized today that I love living in this neighborhood.  I had to go to the Pentagon City Mall to get a Christmas present, got stuck in traffic on 395 getting there, had trouble finding a parking place, the place was an overstimilating madhouse, and then got stuck in traffic coming back on 395.  When I pulled off the highway, I was immediately dropped back into my quiet neighborhood with its lovely streets and adorable houses. So many people have wreaths on their doors or Christmas trees in their bay windows.  I put my car in the driveway, walked over to Eastern Market, stopped by Peregine for a cup of coffee, bought my last Christmas present at the independently-owned Hill's Kitchen, petted a few dogs on the street, ran into a neighbor, and stopped in for a bottle of wine and some cheese at S and P market.

Eastern Market is so underwhelming.   I went there last year to shop for presents and forced myself to buy one item.  Smelly and dirty inside, with few appealing places to eat or shop, Times Square-like street vendors peddling junk outside, and menacing panhandlers looking for an opportunity to shake down visitors for spare change or dollar bills.

Never again.  I can deal with the over-stimulation of a Pentagon City if it entails a basic level of sanitation and some hope of finding quality goods and merchandise.  [/quote]
