[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole no eye contact or acknowledgement when passing by people on the sidewalk drives me crazy.[/quote]

This is not my experience at all in DC, but then most of my neighbors are longtime residents who have been here at least a couple generations. We acknowledge each other and say hi, even if we don't know each other. It's one of my favorite things about DC.

But the transplants, not so much.[/quote]

You say hi to all the homeless and beggars you pass by on the street? And that works out well for you?[/quote]DP here.  Uh, yes, and the guys who may or may not be drug dealers in addition to everyone else.  It works out great!  Because that's what you do in this neighborhood - you say hi - whether you're rich or poor. It's a real community.

Wow. Your panhandlers must be nicer than ours. Ours can get aggressive if you don’t give them money. But sounds like yours are just happy to exchange greetings. How nice! Can we trade?[/quote]
