[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NYC is the same way in my opinion. it's because both cities have a large group of people trying to make do with a finite number of resources--daycares, schools, summer camps, afterschool activities, good restaurants, good mechanics, good handymen, etc. So advice on how to navigate life here and in NYC - esp as a parent - is actually really helpful in my opinion. I feel like DCUM about 10 years ago was more aimed at that. And I think people in DC are pretty nice in that they are willing to help people out in this way rather than hoarding the info for themselves.[/quote] Yeah I kind of love it! I'm not by nature someone who stays on top of how to get into camps, etc. It wasn't for my very "advice forward" neighbors, I'd be lost! And I've found it to be really helpful here as a transplant. I've always seen it as community building and not offensive or annoying. [/quote]
