[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The complaints about Georgetown sound like the sort of things people say who only come here to shop. Yeah, it's going to be difficult for you to find parking sometimes but your experience isn't comparable to being a resident here.

I have a two car garage and live fairly close to the university but I ENJOY the sound of student passing by. The energy is so great here. I don't see myself living anywhere else in D.C.

How can you say it's overrated if you have never lived here and cannot afford to do it?[/quote]

They don't get it and won't...which I am actually glad.  One of the things I LOVED about Georgetown was actually how down-to-earth and normal the moms I met at Rose and Montrose park were--especially to across the border.  There are stereotypes and there will always be there.  As somebody that grew up the area and has lived in Bethesda, Arlington, Old Town and Fairfax--the people that were the most genuine were in Georgetown.  We had people from my grandparents' age, parents' age, as well as our own age inviting us over all of the time.  Everyone was so friendly and there was none of this 'keeping up with the Jones' crap so prevalent in a lot of the suburbs.  I still get Christmas cards and emails from these people.  I still stop into say 'hello' when checking on the house.  It was a very nice community.  Here's a tip---there are many, many places not overrun with college kids--shh.shhh.. many you wouldn't know about when you head straight to Sequoia's or the strips.[/quote]

Absolutely spot on. I love that Georgetown feels like a little village of people. I've made so many genuinely interesting and kind friends here.[/quote]
