[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Born in DC, raised in Arlington, lived 90% of my life in NoVa and would never describe myself as a Washingtonian.  In fact, when I say I'm from Virginia I then kind of grudgingly add, "the DC area" meaning not Roanoke or Tidewater or the Shenandoah Valley.  When people say, "Oh Virginia!  It's so beautiful!  The trees, the leaves, the mountains!" I say, "Uh, no, the DC area" just to clear that up.

I have a multitude of memories of my childhood, teens and adulthood that involve DC but I've never been afraid to cross the bridges either way.  That's bizarre.

I do understand people from the burbs who hesitate to go into DC since you can't find a public bathroom anywhere that doesn't require an inquest and a key and parking is a nightmare, so why would you go to DC if you can just have an easy shopping experience in the burbs?[/quote]

You can't figure out how to go into a Smithsonian or a DC Public Library or even one of the big hotels downtown to use a public bathroom? My grandkids know how to do this. Ridiculous.
