[quote=Anonymous]I can only speak for DC, not the suburbs. I went to public high school in DC and did lots of sports. However, there is NOT the sports culture of other (I assume more suburban and rural?) locations. Growing up in DC is about being independent and going all around the city with your friends on bikes or public transportation. Going to gogos (don't know if the HSs still have them?) and learning to love the music of DC. Having an intimate relationship with a city of power and all its grandeur and beauty by being super familiar with nationally recognized monuments/buildings/landscapes. Getting food from the carry-out and hanging out on the rec center fields. Protesting. Come driving age, cruising around and blasting music. Going to house parties and drinking. Learning Black, Ethiopian and Salvadoran culture.[/quote]
