[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH grew up in Fairfax. The only time he's lived outside of NOVA was the four years he spent at VA Tech. I'm still here because he is here. Otherwise I would have been long gone. We live in FCC and I do not like it at all. I find it basic and boring. Before moving here I lived in Dallas, Chicago and New Orleans. I like all three of those places a lot more than here. I would love to go back to Chicago but it will never happen; DH hates cold weather. [/quote]

I grew up in nova, lived in dc as a young adult, and now live in chicago and would say the opposite. But you’re probably making the same comparison I am (just flipping the cities).  DC was amazing, i lived on 17th street with friends all up and down if, had lots of extra money and time (no kids), went to all the cool city evening events, didn’t need to be outside during the day in summer and could enjoy long evenings outside after work etc. Now in chicago I’m in the very close burbs, freezing my butt off at soccer games, make it out a couple times a month and never on the fly, friends are all connected to my little kids which is fine but not the same etc etc.  if you’re comparing FCC to chicago versus “random boring suburb of chicago” it’s an unfair comparison[/quote]
