[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was amazing. Yes there was crime and AIDS was exploding but the city had energy and character. Yes, it was dirty. You had to be smart about where you went and at what time. Drug use among certain groups was prevalent.(all the rich upper east side kids)There where also great little funky dive and dance clubs. Mom and pop stores, not just chains. Cheap places to eat. Free entertainment in the parks and street fairs. I'm glad I was able to live there before it became a city for only the rich.[/quote]

+1 and I was one of the rich Upper East Side kids...[/quote]

Where did you go to school?  DH went to Horace Mann and it's one of the main reason we are moving back.  So our kids can go to middle/high school in NYC.[/quote]
Which schools will you do?[/quote]

Horace Mann since we have legacy status.  FIL also went.  But will apply to Collegiate, Trinity, Browning, UN school and Dwight since they are in Manhattan and more convenient.  We only have boys.  I prefer the Westside but DH prefers East.  Guess we'll decide after we know which school they get into...  We plan on staying in DC until the oldest finishes elementary at a public charter.[/quote]
