[quote=Anonymous]I live in Arlington, and I don't recognize North Arlington from the way several Marylanders describe it.  My husband's commute downtown is 15 minutes in the morning.  My commute to my kids' NW school is 15-20 minutes depending on time of day.  I don't think most people in DC and Maryland appreciate exactly how close North Arlington is to NW DC.

I don't have anything against Maryland, so I don't get the hate for Virginia.  NoVa is not racist and backwards; you are confusing us with about the southern part of the Commonwealth.  Nor are we Northern Virginians particularly conservative.  Check the precinct results from the 2012 election.  Obama won about 70% of the votes in Alexandria, Arlington and Falls Church.  Heck, he even beat Romney by about 20 points in Fairfax and Prince William.  NoVa is the reason that Obama carried Virginia.

Nor do I think Maryland' sprawl is any more beautiful than Virginia's.  Strip malls are strip malls and highways are highways.  [/quote]
