[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like there's a certain brand of obnoxiousness that is generally present in a lot of DC-area people, notably those who are originally from outside the area.

It's hard to describe.[/quote]

They "made it" by living here now.  And they are so proud, bless their hearts.  Tear falling.  [/quote]

What about those of us who feel that they have gone backward by moving here?[/quote]

I am a transplant. I don't feel I made it by living here. However, I enjoyed traveling along the East coast. I had never been to RI, Maine, NYC, Boston, so I spent many weekends traveling just for fun to explore. I also really enjoyed the touristy sightseeing in DC.

I realized though, that not everyone I worked with was happy to see me so happy. The people who are from DC and surrounding area don't have anywhere else to go to work. They don't like transplants. I get it, now. I have a real hometown I can move back to whenever I want. I can live closer in the my job in downtown DC. I can enjoy a lot of what makes DC great, while people from here go through the drudgery of a long commute back to the burbs. [/quote]
