[quote=Anonymous]Some of the things mentioned here are such a teeny, tiny slice of a pattern of socializing--yet many of us were repeating the same loops passing each at different steps or phases of life, having many of the same experiences and having similar reactions positive or negative. Yet DC suffers such an intense identity crisis. It has no unique cuisine, music, sport team, no distinct unifying theme. There is a general disdain for all things distinctly DC outside of DC. Yet, the memories here are being recalled with such fondness.

I wonder why there is no palpable pride about being from DC--rather just a derision of all local processes that are uniquely local?[/quote]

What? who the ef cares what people outside of DC think.  No unique music - go-go doesn't make the cut?  No unique sports team - are you serious? I think this thread proves that DC is unique but I don't care if other people understand it or not.  I am proud of being from DC - warts and all.  Many thanks to everyone for posting their memories - some things I had completely forgotten about, but came rushing back after reading this thread.
