[/quote]Then you aren't living.  We have great neighbors that get together socially several times a week.  Ironically- we are all very successful--but 4 of us are private business owners and only 1 in a group of about 15 is a lawyer.  We have writers, geneticists, environmental engineers, an artist, psychologists, economists, professors in the midst.  It is very lively, fun group.  We somehow managed to surround ourselves with great "real" people.  I think liking what you do, being happy with yourself and not buying into the [b]mindset of that McLean poster, e.g., [u]status/classism[/u],[/b] etc.  Live and love life![/quote]

Also, can you say what type of private business you all are in...roughly?  Thanks.[/quote]

OMG, we are still talking about it?  Have you ever driven around Mclean?  Despite the supply of expensive homes and mansions and new construction there are tons of split levels and ranchers that are under 1 mil and are populated by old people and families that moved in a few years ago for less to put their kids through school, e.g. not your "status" crowd you are referring to.  And, there are new families moving in looking for free public schools who cannot afford to spend more than 900K on a house and definitely won't be building brilliant new palaces in place of these old ugly homes.  They'll just move in, freshen things up and wait to put their kids through school.  I am pretty certain Arlington/Bethesda is all the same.

Honestly, when I drive around Arlington/Mclean/Bethesda it all looks the same to me, it makes no difference, you would close your eyes and forget where you are and would not tell if you are in one area or the other.  Similar nature, trees, hills, housing stock, etc.   Especially when you drive from Mclean to N.Arlington parts the boundaries blend, you cannot tell when one town ends and another begins.  It's all the same to me, but then, I am not from here, so I guess maybe different for a local.  FYI, have been looking for homes in NOVA, Arlington, Mclean, Falls Church, don't care really where we end up as long as the house meets our budget and needs and the schools are good. [/quote]
