[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kalorama is walking distance from Dupont Circle metro, restaurants and shopping, and part of it also walkable from Woodley Park metro and restaurants.

If you're a gazelle, maybe.  It's not like Logan, where it's all right out your front door.

In fact Kalorama is about 10 minutes from DuPont Circle, less if you’re going to restaurants north of the metro. It’s another 10 minutes to Woodley Park, and maybe 20 to Adams Morgan. My mom used to live on Connecticut and Kalorama and it’s a great location. And no, I’m not a gazelle.

That posters are arguing with a straight face that Logan and Kalorama are equally or even close to equally walkable is just plain laughable.  Do you think the election was stolen as well?

Hell no the election wasn’t stolen. But if you think a 10-minute walk to restaurants is too far, and you can only do 5-minute walks, you seriously need to rethink your physical fitness regime.[/quote]

There are a few restaurants on Connecticut Avenue within 10 minutes of the edge of Kalorama, yes.  How about bars, grocery stores, pharmacies, post offices, hair salons, hardware stores, banks, take out joints, music venues, etc.?

Last I checked, there's more to a walkable neighborhood than a few expensive restaurants.[/quote]

You don’t know Kalorama or Dupont Circle, do you? There’s a pharmacy at Conn and Florida—2 blocks away, or just outside your doorstep depending on where you live in Kalorama. Plenty of banks and bars and hair and nail salons and such [b]on DuPont Circle[/b].

And who wants to live next door to, or right above, a bar anyway? All this bragging about “steps to bars” isn’t a selling point for people who like to sleep after midnight. [/quote]

Dupont isn't Kalorama.  And I gave a long list of amenities that included bars, yes, but only after another poster tried to extol Kalorama's walkability by talking about restaurants and literally nothing else.  Oh, and most people living in Logan don't live next to or on top of a bar.   [/quote]

You’re pushing Logan because it’s supposedly steps to everything. Which is it? [/quote]

Steps, yes.  On top of or next to, no.  You must be obtuse.[/quote]
