[quote=Anonymous]Another UP resident here - we love the vibe and chose to settle here after living in DC (Shaw) and buying a starter home in Calvert Hills. We have been in the area for 12 years so it has developed from a food desert to a place with multiple walkable grocery stores and restaurants outside of pizza joints for college students. We primarily shop at the new Trader Joe's and Whole Foods as they are closest to us. The Whole Foods development keeps getting better for families, and I let my kids go to the Starbucks and Habit Burger there alone. I do have some concerns about the violence at PG Plaza and opt away from there other than an occasional Target run. Overall, it is an increasingly diverse suburb with mature trees and mostly 30s-40s era houses where you will find government and NGO workers, professors, and lots of lawyers but few that work at big firms. The town has its own trash/recycling/snow/police and maintains the playgrounds nicely. Come by and you'll see a lot of dog walkers that are willing to say more![/quote]
