[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd highly recommend Columbia Heights around the 11th street corridor.  there are a lot of people with young kids, great places to eat, and better walkability than bloomingdate, petworth, or takoma park (other places mentioned here).

am surprised to see all the bloomingdale posts (sock puppeting?!).  It just doesn't seem like a great place to live, given the proximity to north capital street, crime, and general sketchiness.  i sure wouldn't move there just for big bear and a couple other places to go drink.   [/quote]

Last Bloomingdale PP here.  No sock puppeting going on IMO.  I was pleased to see more than a few chiming in and it doesnt surprise me.  Not all of Bloomingdale is close enough to N Capitol to feel weird about it and even that neck of the woods is changing.  We are on the other side closer to Le Droit. I know it is just a matter of opinion but it doesnt feel sketchy to me AT ALL.  I dont go out to drink.  I have three kids and two dogs and work in the arts.  I also dont go to Big Bear that often because it is GREAT but a bit pricey for my budget.  I DO love the farmers market, know the people in the corner stores by name, frequent the park, and am loyal to the pizza shop, pet shop, Beau Thai, Boundary Stone, and a certain brownie they sell at Windows.  Maybe you will say you have been here recently, but I would doubt it.  If you think it is just Big Bear you are stuck in 2010 or something and really need to stop by and spend an afternoon walking around.

Not saying Columbia Heights isnt great - I have friends there too and they love it- but Bloomingdale is a special neighborhood too.  It just is.

I am sure Jeff can respond if someone thinks there is real sock puppeting.
