[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington on the whole is more walkable than Bethesda, which is bisected by large pedestrian unfriendly streets like East West Highway or River Road.[/quote]

I don't find E-W Highway hard to cross at all.  River Road runs through more suburban parts of Bethesda, just like Lorcom Lane in Arlington.

While Arlington is a slap-dash mess, Bethesda has style.  I can understand why OP may feel she's outgrown Arlington. [/quote]

Lorcom Lane, a "local street," is not nearly as busy as River Road, a heavily traveled commuter road that extends from DC to the Beltway and beyond. Downtown Bethesda and the adjacent single family home neighborhoods however are walkable.

Arlington, unlike Bethesda, is a county and has attractive and unattractive parts. Comparing Bethesda to all of Arlington in those terms is silly. You could argue that Downtown Bethesda looks better than Clarendon or vice versa. Or that Kenwood has style and Country Club Hills wishes it were Kenwood or vice versa.

River Road=Glebe Road. E-W Highway=Lee Highway.  They are the same, people.[/quote]

Not in my book. E-W Highway is this twisty, hilly road with hoards of traffic and not very comfortable for the pedestrian. And River Road becomes almost freeway like with no sidewalks near Whitman HS. Glebe Road is walkable except for the final quarter mile to chain bridge. [/quote]
