The CVS, Panera, Starbucks, Whole Foods, chain store and condo cesspool of the past 20 years which is the only DC most of you transplants have experienced since you moved here is not the same DC we were raised in.

DC really was an exciting place with lots of wonderful stores and places to go.

The government and all the monuments were just a background to all of these wonderful places.

This is something transplants living in DC post 1995 will never fully understand.

Redskins at RFK.
Bullets/Capitals at the Capital Centre.
The Bayou in Georgetown.
The old 9:30 club.
D.C. Space

It truly was magical.

I am a transplant but have lived all over the area since I was an infant.

If you are a native and are living off these memories, good for you....but maybe you should try going out a bit more, because you sound like a fool if you think that everything cool in DC has been replaced by a CVS and a Starbucks.

Redskins at RFK?  Yeah fine, but today go check out the Nats at Nats Park.
Bullets at the Cap Centre?   Maybe go see a DC United game at RFK
The Bayou in Georgetown?  The old 9:30 Club?  DC Space?  Maybe try any of a dozen good new music clubs on U St. or H ST.

It's not wonder transplants get aggravated at you natives if you walk around thinking that DC Space was the high point of youth culture 30 years ago, and forever after.  Some of you walk around mourning these things like they are a lost civilization and are oblivious to the city around you.
