[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That feeling is because Alexandria is definitely The South.
Also hybla valley and Mount Vernon / route 1 there have always been sketchy from a crime perspective.

OK, agree re Hybla Valley and Mount Vernon, but complaining that Alexandria is the South is odd. Of course a city on the border of the South isn't going to feel like New England or Westchester, but it has its own charm... If you don't like that, DC (itself, like Baltimore, a southern city) may not be the right fit for you. [/quote]

This description of [b]people who live in the NY metro area, like happy extended families where everyone waves every morning and hangs over their fence with their cup of coffee saying howdy neighbor, is 180 degrees[/b] from the place I spent 20 years of my life in.

Sense of community...  more like rat race snobs and social climbers who couldn't find an excuse to say hi if you were locked in a cave with them for a month.[/quote]

I grew up in Westchester and still live here (in a different town). We were always friends with the neighbors and spent many weekends and holidays together. I am friendly with the neighbors I have now, and I do see them in the mornings with my coffee, or in the grocery store (yesterday), and we chat. Sorry your experience was different.[/quote]
