[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  After reading through the boards, it appears MCPS, to include Bethesda elementary schools, have gone downhill in the last few years.  Would that be reason alone to consider the Tysons option on the VA side? For example it seems Falls Church City public schools are smaller and have a good environment.  Or are VA public schools suffering from the same issues as MCPS?

But again I have no experience,  this is just what I am gathering from spending way too much time reading through these forums the last few weeks![/quote]

VA people on this board are crazy jealous of the Whitman school pyramid in Bethesda.[/quote]

Is it bad that I live in north Arlington and never even heard of that school or pyramid?

The thought I give to Bethesda is about a little less than what I wonder about what the weather is like in Brazil today.[/quote]

Exactly. Vienna resident here, never heard of Whitman. Never thought about living in Maryland, don't have any interest in visiting either. Please tell me one restaurant halfway decent in Maryland. There are none. How a bout a halfway decent company? Oh yeah, none again. Just a bunch of marxists over there.[/quote]

Factual. We are proud virginians who hate the northerner infested Marylanders. God bless our southern state. [/quote]

That’s ridiculous. Maryland and Virginia are both border southern states. And no one cares about that anymore. For excellent food near Bethesda: O’Donnell’s new location in Potomac for the best southern style seafood in town. Or Old Anglers Inn in Potomac for classic American food. It’s been a tradition since 1860. Proximity to those two establishments alone give Bethesda the edge over Tysons and the Tysons adjacent towns. [/quote]

Is this a joke?? I grew up in Bethesda going to O'Donnell's with my grandmother who would be 115 if she was still alive. It was terrible even then. 
I live in Arlington now, and I will never move back to MD.[/quote]

My father grew up in an area where there was really fresh seafood and we tried O'Donnell's once after we moved to the DC area.  It was the worst seafood he'd ever eaten.  Even the touristy Hogate's near the Wharf was better than that crap.

I can't believe anyone would think its continued presence in Bethesda is anything but an abomination. [/quote]

Hogates was good. Much better than Red Lobster or Chesapeake Bay Seafood House. Excellent hush puppies, rum buns, fried catfish, maryland crab cakes. Too bad Hogates didn’t survive the transition to the updated and trendy DC Wharf. [/quote]
