[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kensington is somewhat dominated by the Catholic school/parish Holy Redeemer. If you are Catholic, it’s a very tight knit community. [/quote]

I’ve always heard this, but it must be a small area of Kensington. I’m in north Kensington and don’t know anyone who is Catholic. I don’t think I’ve met any any families with kids that don’t send their kids to Rock View.  [/quote]

North Kensington isn’t Kensington. [/quote]

And this is the problem with Kensington. It's split into three different school zones (really four if you add in Holy Redeemer) and there is definitely a pecking order with Town of Kensington thinking they are at the top and North Kensington being degraded to "basically being Wheaton" by anyone who lives in a non-Einstein area. They can't stand that middle-class people claim to live there, even though Kensington is basically seen as the poor man's Bethesda/Chevy Chase. It's one of the reasons we moved from Kensington. Nice place to live but I hated the pissing contest. [/quote]

Huh, I live in Kensington Heights (in other words, "basically Wheaton" and that's something I'm proud of) and everyone I've met from ToK has been perfectly nice. But we chose where we live very intentionally, so I'm not really sensitive to people who feel superior about where they live.[/quote]

Oh, they're nice. To your face. But if they don't know which part of Kensington you live in, and assume you live in ToK or South Kensington, the claws come out. [/quote]

Lol that's sad[/quote]
