[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have to say Pimmit Hills.  From what I had read on DCUM, I was expecting a slightly less charming version of Del Ray.  When we visited to scout out the area, we were, quite frankly, disappointed.  The older homes look like they could be in a trailer park and the new houses look like what you'd find in a middle-class subdivision in Anywhere USA.  On the plus side, there are sidewalks, but they didn't seem to lead anywhere.  It really does look like the type of neighborhood in Kansas City or Memphis you see on Cops (my husband and I burst out laughing realizing we were both humming the "Bad Boys" song as we drove around).

You have no idea how wonderfully located we are in Pimmit Hills.  We are in the middle of EVERYTHING.  And I can walk to tons of shops and more parks than I can count.  And soon the metro (or I can drive there in 5 minutes or less - and the bus is in front of my house).

But you got me with the "Bad Boys" song from cops LMAO!!  I guess I can see how the tiny houses and chain link fences here, like in a photo without any pretext about where we are, could give that impression.[/quote]

Look, I don't know Fairfax that well, but we drove around long enough to know Pimmit Hills is not in the middle of anything except some major highways.  I think we would have come across anything similar to Mount Vernon Ave. but it just was not there.  [/quote]

Ever heard of Tysons Corner?  It's sort of like a city with, you know, as much retail as Manhattan (including all the high end shops), as many office buildings as a major city like San Diego.  Plus all the conveniences - we have nearby Walmart, Staples, Office Dept, Home Depot, Best Buy, Sports Authority, Giant, Traders, Whole Foods, various organic and specialty food markets (way too many to name), you know, like every store known to mankind from Chanel to Walmart.  What does DC have?  um, not much.  I cannot think of anything I would want to go downtown for.  Ever. [/quote]

Omg - there is an Office Depot in Tyson's?!??  I'm moving out there STAT!! [/quote]
