[quote=Anonymous][quote]I am sorry if I touched a nerve. I take back the comment about poor taste. I think the double-story columns and huge plywood house are in excellent taste. The Queen of England would probably go for the same thing if only she could afford Gaithersburg. [/quote]

LOL! I live in North Potomac, love it and there are several houses in our neighborhood with the double columns. I take no offense and if one of those houses had been on the market, I would have bought it instead of ours. Do I think the two story columns and big box is lovely? Nope, I prefer CA ranch or craftsman style but I'm practical. Those houses, in my neighborhood, have a great inside layout. I like my house. It is a southern colonial with a regular front porch that you could find in Bethesda, Gaithersburg or most places in the US around the early 80s, late 70s. It works for us but the big yard with great trees is why we picked the house.

What I like about this area is that most people are practical. They wanted a big yard because they like to be outside. The want a family friendly interior layout. They want enough rooms for several kida or have family visit. Pottery Barn and Ethan Allen are top of the line for interior decor. Big to medium sized are common and no one minds them being in any room of the house. I lived in an amazing city condo with great view and expensive furniture when I was single. This style does not mesh with my married/kids lifestyle now.

On the Rio debate, it is fun with kids. I spent several hours there with my 4 year old son a few weeks ago. He loves the park and likes to see the ducks in the lake. We ate at the corner bakery. We walked over and picked out a book at Barnes and Noble. We topped it off with coffee cake at Starbucks. We do drive into DC all the time, I love BG trail too, and we spend alot of time just running around our backyard but Rio can be fun too with small kids. Would I want to hang out at Rio if I was still single? No way. Would I want to live in Gaithersburg if I was single? No way. With a family though, I love it. [/quote]
