[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think transplants seem more infatuated with the area in general.  They seem to view the city through perpetual rose colored glasses.

On the other hand, natives don't seem all that impressed.  They don't seem to have the same thrill or appreciation that the transplants do, when seeing monuments or Dupont Circle other "DC" things [/quote]

Transplant here, and I detest this area. I cried when I found out we had to move back after being away for ten glorious years.

Now I'm here, and it's all about escaping at the first opportunity. There is no thrill, just dread. [/quote]

Fairfax getting you down?[/quote]

I realize that was a pretty awful post. I'm just having an off day, I don't really hate it here. It's just not my preferred area and the summer months here are really unbearable. I am fine and even like/love the area in the fall though.

Not in Fairfax, but in Bethesda. [/quote]

So you don't actually live in DC.  Why are you in this thread? [/quote]

STFU

Aannnnd welcome to the DMV![/quote]

STOP
FUCKING
CALLING IT
THE DMV[/quote]

"The DMV" is a dead give away that you are a transplant.  Sets my teeth on edge.  And CVS used to be People's Drug, remember?[/quote]

Why do people care about the DMV thing?  Is it because the M and V are on equal footing with D?  (Which is true now, by the way.)  [/quote]

Because Maryland and Virginia were sleepy suburbs where nothing happened - all the action was "downtown".  And it sounds stupid and jokey - DMV -- Department of Motor Vehicles?  Hahaha so witty![/quote]
