[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always assume that the love/hate people have from DC has little to do with the metropolistic factor of where they grew up, but just more to do with whether they liked where they grew up.  One of my best friends had an idyllic childhood in suburban Kansas City. Hates it here.  Another friend grew up in Manhattan. Hates it here.  I have another friend who grew up in non-charming parts of suburban Indiana and finds DC quite nice compared to that.  Same thing with the friend from rural Pennsylvania.  And another friend who spent quite a bit of time in London but didn't love it there, but loves DC.

In other words, DC is better in comparison than a bland childhood. Or an unhappy childhood. Or a stressful childhood. But it's not better than a satisfying childhood.  [/quote]

Nah. I grew up in NYC, and loved it, and still like NY. And I also like DC just fine.  Including the theater.

A lot of the refrain of "NYC is REALLY urban, DC is nothing like that" comes from people justifying a move to the suburbs.  Not that there is anything wrong with moving to the suburbs, but the "its okay because DC is not really urban anyway" meme is silly, IMO. [/quote]
