[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ward 3 (where AU is located) is part of Washington DC. It’s not a separate suburb, which some seem to be suggesting. It’s a residential area in the city. Suburbs by definition are districts outside of a city.[/quote]You sure? I've always understood a suburb to be a residential area on the outskirts of a city, regardless of which side of some arbitrary municipal boundary it falls on. Many (such as Friendship Heights, right next to AU Park, or Chevy Chase, right next to that) fall on both sides of such boundaries. Does Chevy Chase cease to be a suburb when you cross Western Avenue? If so, your formalistic definition is totally divorced from the practical reality of the people living there (on both sides of the municipal line).[/quote] +1. Suburb: an outlying part of a city or town. This is exactly how I would describe where AU is.[/quote]
