[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know there are great, cool things about growing up here but it makes me sad that my kid’d childhood is going to be so different than mine.   All the kids in my neighborhood lived there the whole if school years, we all rode bikes everywhere, we all had swingsets and slip n slides in our backyards.  The ice cream man came down our street everyday.  
We live in a condo in Arlungtin- no backyard, learning to ride a bike on the W& OD, really transient area.  She is three and her best friend’s famiky just told us they are relocating to Europe. Seems like any friend she makes will have a 1-3 yr lifespan. Just bums me out.  Yea there are great museums and playgrounds etc but makes me sad she won’t get what I had. [/quote]

I'm sorry you're in that situation.

We live in the Kentlands/Lakelands neighborhood of Gaithersburg and have everything you talked about in your childhood. Kids stay in this neighborhood for a long time. They ride their bikes all over. We have a big community pool. We have tons of playgrounds all over. I see the ice cream truck coming to all the local playgrounds.

So I guess my point is there are neighborhoods in this area where you can find everything you want. [/quote]
