[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ever go into a city and find all these cool little places then realize you need something simple and can't find it anywhere, because the area is filled with cool little places? And then getting across the city to the practical area takes freakin' forever because of traffic? Or you have to hop on a bus or other form of transportation to get there?

That's why places like Office Depot are important.[/quote]

That's why I enjoy living in Leesburg and recommend it and Frederick to people who could work from Tysons/Rockville on out (but not for DC unless you work off hours). Yes, I know if you work in one of those big marble buildings downtown or work in a corner office for some firm with 3-5 names in it, you won't be able to.

And yes, I'd rather live where I live and have a 15-20 minute longer commute than live in some anonymous place in Sterling, Chantilly, etc.

Good schools, safe, walkable downtowns, convenient to the every day things (as opposed to DC where there's no middlebrow department stores or places like Office Depot and the grocery stores either suck or are super high-end), and available to mere mortals.

I've walked to get groceries before and I've walked to get coffee and/or a meal downtown. There's "cool little places" too but I really don't use them so much. [/quote]
