[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to Wheaton Mall on a weekend and tell me it’s less depressing than Springfield, Fair Oaks, or Pentagon City malls. It’s not just about crime, a lot of young people in MoCo are dressed in pajamas all the time and look like they’ve given up at life. There’s a certain sense of despair and ennui that exists among young people in MoCo, specifically in Silver Spring and points north and east, that doesn’t exist in the same percentages of young people in NoVA and DC.

This is so weird.  The Wheaton Mall has Target and Costco.  It's very convenient.  You think that people dress differently at Target in Wheaton than they do in Fairfax? [/quote]

The Target in Wheaton is the most run down Target I’ve ever been to in my
life. Even the Target in Columbia Heights has less stuff thrown on the ground and is less of a general mess.

It’d be interesting for people who have experience going regularly between MoCo and NoVA have to say about this. I can’t be the only one to notice how depressing Wheaton and Silver Spring are compared to the rest of the region.[/quote]
I don’t base my home buying decisions in how a particular Target appears to look. [/quote]

I could go into grocery stores as well. Compare the Harris Teeters in Bethesda and North Bethesda to the ones in Arlington. Not even close. The Whole Foods in Pentagon City and Clarendon are nicer than the ones on River Road and North Bethesda as well.

Compare the iPic in Pike and Rose to the theater in the Mosaic District or the dine in theater in Tysons Galleria, which are far nicer experiences despite not being as expensive. The iPic is barely vacuumed and staffed by burnouts but costs $22 a ticket.

In general, the entire retail experience is much more pleasurable in NoVA. Better ethnic food options as well, except for Chinese. Kabobs, Vietnamese, Thai are all better in close in VA.[/quote]
That’s your opinion.[/quote]

The PP is correct. I can't see anyone with good business mind want to live in MoCO and put their money down the drain in high taxes. It is just horrible and now the bigger tax deficit is going to increase higher income and property taxes. No way[/quote]
Plenty of people live happily in MoCo. You NoVa boosters are getting sillier by the post.[/quote]
