[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up there and it was good enough. Private schools were barely on my radar back then, except a number of foreigners would attend FIS or Holton. Otherwise, they’d have to pay for public.

I don’t think I’d want to live there now as I don’t want my kids growing up with the affluenza.

It’s materialistic now and lots of Botox.

I'm a middle aged woman living in Bethesda and no one I know does Botox or any other age-related intervention. My circle is not afflicted by affluenza, as in, they don't buy their kid a Jeep at 16, they don't run around covered in designer brands, they don't look down on others who live elsewhere. We save our money to pay for whatever college our kids can get into, or pay for expensive nursing homes for our parents. That's where the money goes!

It's pathetic when people just slap labels on neighborhoods and write them off. Morons think east MoCo is unsafe and gang-infested, they think Bethesda-Chevy Chase is full of rich snobs, upper county is full of hicks...

The stupidity is just mind-blowing.

I lived there. I grew up there and have been connected to Bethesda longer than you.

My friends drove BMWs and vacationed around the world.

When I go to Wildwood, there are plenty of people who’ve had lots of work done on their faces. Do you think the plastic surgeons advertising in Washingtonian are doing so for fun?

My elementary friends had house staff and one had drivers.

I’ve visited clients there. Two $70,000 cars in the garage, a maid, pool, giant house.

If you can’t admit Bethesda suffers from affluenza, then you’re not being honest with yourself.

Maybe you live in Westlake or something. If so, I’m not talking about you.
