It’s cute that you keep on cherry picking stories and not posting related stories that address the growing unemployment in Montgomery County, but those of us who have lived in the area for 30-40 years have noticed a precipice decline in Montgomery County, while places like Arlington, Alexandria, Tysons, Falls Church, and the entirety of Loudoun County have grown so much economically that they have 4 of the top 10 richest counties per median household income in the country.

Montgomery County, which used to be #1 in the nation, is trailing Stafford County and Calvert County now, both places that used to literally be known to have a fair share of rednecks in trailers flying Confederate flags in the 80s and 90s.[/quote]

We've been in MoCo 30+ years, and I do remember those days, and I agree with your views. However, most of the DCUM posters will not understand what it was like those days. You are wasting your time. [/quote]
