[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody who lived in NoVa in the 1980s would ever have considered DC a safe place to live. Yes, go ahead and drive your minivan to the Mall and park for free right in front of the Air and Space, but be sure to get back across the 14th street bridge before sundown. [/quote] No not true at all. I grew up in nova but went to a k-12 in McLean w/ about a third of the students from dc. The NW neighborhoods (Wesley heights, spring valley, AU Park, glover park, foxhall, CC, etc) actually seemed nicer then bc there was more open space and more old trees. We used to bike into Georgetown, spent hours on the canal w/ rope swings, all of the high schools would do senior grafitti there, etc. DC had much more of a small town feel, and there were lots of 2nd and 3rd generation families in the neighborhoods and at my school. Overall, I don’t think the area felt nearly as transient as it does now. [/quote]
