[quote=Anonymous]OP - None of us remembered to say "welcome". So welcome, whichever side of the river you choose. I'm a transplanted Brooklynite. DC doesn't feel anything like NY. We care about different things, and we are both prickly and not prickly about a different set of things. Among other things, you will be surprised to find that our best ethnic restaurants are in strip malls - you get used to the lack of charm. You can grow to like it or even love it here. In fact, as much as I enjoy visiting Brooklyn, I don't want to go back. I don't miss the smell of the city on a Sunday morning. I don't miss thinking about my damned car all the time (gotta put it somewhere when we visit). I don't miss how hard simple things can be - like repairing a vacuum, or coping when you have a bit too much to carry. I love having a dog with easy access to nature. You can make a good life here.[/quote]
