[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I moved here in early 90s. Love some of the changes to the City (downtown!). Miss others (adams Morgan is sad).

Cities change. [/quote]

Yup. Some things are better. Some things are worse. And some things are the same![/quote]

This is how I feel as well.

Change is good.  Get over it.

No one really cares how the locals think that change is bad, and how you think you used to have "cool" (not so cool) nightlife. Very little about D.C. was ever distinct.  Sure, it's the nation's capital, but many things (Metro, for example) are embarrassing.  I suppose you will someday plat her on about pining for the old Metro?   :roll:

Besides, the shiny new homes you take such offense to are carrying the tax base.  Certainly the whiner locals are not.  Know when to shut it and be grateful.  [/quote]

Metro is worse now than it was before. Way less reliable.

Thanks to transplants who mostly all came here just to leech off of the local economy.[/quote]
