[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is unusual in that it has a great deal of affluence and education, but relatively little culture (aside from the awesome, federally-funded museums) compared to other major cities.

I think this is largely a result of the nature of most of the residents. Very career-oriented and competitive. [/quote]

x2.  And not very artistic.  Free thinking is ostracized and looked down upon here, in contrast to cities that are cultural hubs/influencers [/quote]

Native here, and this is exactly why I left - 25 year olds in DC are like 45 year olds anywhere else. Fretting about the perfect resume, being well-connected, mortgage, retirement. These are important considerations (I guess), but so many Washingtonians lack a creative or free-thinking bone in their body...[/quote]

I'm not now, nor was I at 25, creative or free thinking. If you are, I agree, live in a city with a creative class. Simple as that. Don't try to change the nature of DC - those of us who choose to live here like it![/quote]
