[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live on the Hill, closer to H Street. I realize my neighborhood isn't perfect and there are legitimate things to complain about. But not being walkable or lively enough are not among them. Other than a cute outfit for myself or my tween kids, there is pretty much nothing I'd need to buy that I can't walk to. And even at 6 am there are people walking on every block. I know this because that's when I go for my runs. It's like you didn't actually visit the Hill.[/quote]

Capitol Hill is very large, but I too wonder what part of the Hill OP is talking about?  I've lived 2 blocks from Eastern Market for 8 years now, and the last way I'd describe any weekend is "ghost town." I see everyone walking around, out and about. It's the reason I love it here and don't want to move to the suburbs. [/quote]

Maybe OP is talking about the couple of blocks around the Capitol South metro station? That area is pretty quiet on the weekends. [/quote]

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's the only part of Capitol Hill with retail that is primarily driven by House employees and visitors. On the weekend it's just some tourists. But Barracks Row and Eastern Market always have a ton of foot traffic, as does H Street though it's block-by-block and often busier during the evenings. I live in a quieter part of the hill between Stanton and Lincoln Park and there's still at least some foot traffic most of the time, plus we can easily walk to Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Giant, Yes! Organic Market, and Eastern Market. [/quote]

That totally makes sense.  I love that area-- I live closer to Barracks row and I do love it, but those blocks around Duddington Street are amazing.  So very quiet and peaceful.[/quote]
