[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most people still prefer the schools, parks, restaurants, charn  of Arlington to Centreville, Burke, etc.[/quote]

Arlington has 0 charm. It has advantages, but charm isn't one of them.[/quote]

Can someone point me to some “charm” in Arlington? Okay, maybe Westover is cute. Other than that, Clarendon, Pentagon City, Ballston, etc. are literally full of chains. Schools? Let’s not even go there. The system is a joke. I lived in various parts of Arlington for 9 years and don’t feel like I prefer it over anything else. Quite frankly I don’t miss it much. If I ever do it’s only 30 minutes away. [/quote]

I didn't find Arlington charming, at least not North Arlington which is what most of you are talking about. I find incredibly racist and classist. I absolutely hated being the only non-white person pretty much everywhere I went, and I didn't want my child to grow up feeling like the odd man out (it's how I grew up and it was awful), so we moved a little further out to a diverse part of close in Fairfax County, and now that we need more space, we're looking to move even further out, so I'm finding this thread interesting. I've found that these suburbs seem to be pretty diverse (well, not Burke, Burke seems pretty white b/c of the military families), but I'm curious if some of you who live in these areas could talk about diversity? I'm South Asian.[/quote]
