[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting question op. I grew up in a close in suburb in westchester county. I think the palisades gives me the closest architectural and layout vibes to where I grew up and I chose to live in glover park because of how much it feels like the small town where I grew up (main difference being palisades style architecture). I also could drive to midtown in 20 min or be at Grand central station in a 23 minute ride so that's comparable to getting to the sights, etc in dc. Could not bear the thought of the VA suburbs (where I actually work) although I think the Maryland side seems more like small towns, which I like. [/quote]

Yeah, Rockville Pike is so charming.

These threads are stupid.[/quote]

Did they mention Rockville Pike? [/quote]
Yeah that was a really strange response to my post. I will caveat by saying that I have very little experience with the Maryland suburbs. Maybe it's all Rockville pikeish. Please strike from the record my uninformed opinion re. the state of Maryland. I stand the the dc comparisons though. The biggest similarity that I see is how we interact with our neighbors. Growing up, I would open a window and yellow my best friend "hey Amy, ya wanna play?"  Here in GP, because we are in attached houses, we have to go outside to address our neighbors, but that's an aspect I wants to recreate for my kids. And I'm happy to have done it![/quote]

It's not.  I'm guessing it's someone who lives in Virginia who took offense.  Rockville Pike is probably the worst part of the Maryland suburbs- it's kind of a strawman argument, because the presence of Rockville Pike does not negate the presence of Bethesda, Potomac, and Chevy Chase- which, I agree, seem much more like Westchester than VA.  NW DC does as well.

Btw, what part of Westchester are you from?  My mom grew up in Bronxville. [/quote]
Pelham. (Which posters from Scarsdale (or bronxville!) may shit on. But it was beautiful! Apologies for all the typos in my previous post. [/quote]
