[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everything about Arlington has always seemed completely mediocre to me, and I lived there before moving to DC. At least McLean has nice houses and good schools. Arlington seems like the worst of both worlds: it's not a real city, and it has absolutely no edge or urban energy, yet it's not an attractive suburb, either. It's just purgatory for people who want to have it both ways and end up with a pale imitation (no pun intended) that lacks character or prestige. Sorry if that seems harsh, but some people in Arlington have no clue how people who've actually lived in real cities or more upscale suburbs perceive Arlington and its oddly boastful (and clueless) residents.[/quote] Arlington: jealous McLean: haters Point: Arlington [/quote] Weird because I live in Kent Gradens McLean, and envy my friends who have just bought nice new 1.6 M new-build in Arlington Of course I have a bigger yard in my McLean house, which while a 50s rambler, sits on a 15000 sq foot lot, about twice the size of theirs.... Plus we have new buds of comparable price but bigger lots than Arlington for 1.6.... [/quote]
