[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP, there is nothing this area can offer to your friend that will make it feel like the places she knows. Any D.C. area neighborhood or town is going to be different than a Boston suburb.

If she's unable to find enjoyable things about a different place, she realistically should start planning a return. That's why the few people I know who moved from MA still wax poetic about it and play the comparison game until they can get back.[/quote]

Came here for work. I had an open mind but after a year of exploring different areas in and around DC, I realized it's just not the same as New England. More specifically I'm comparing the area to Cambridge/Somerville where I used to work and live - there's nothing like it here. But I am also familiar enough with towns like Lexington and Concord to agree with your friend that she won't find towns like that here.  And wait until she experiences DC summers if she hasn't already. After three years I realized if I didnt take action I would be bitter and always regret it, and the negativity about where I lived isn't helping anyone. Took some effort and planning 8but I'm so happy to be moving back soon. And once I know my time here is finite, I was able to enjoy the positives more (yes to milder winters)!
