[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Arlington on the whole is more walkable than Bethesda, which is bisected by large pedestrian unfriendly streets like East West Highway or River Road.[/quote]

I don't find E-W Highway hard to cross at all.  River Road runs through more suburban parts of Bethesda, just like Lorcom Lane in Arlington.

While Arlington is a slap-dash mess, Bethesda has style.  I can understand why OP may feel she's outgrown Arlington. [/quote]

Lorcom Lane, a "local street," is not nearly as busy as River Road, a heavily traveled commuter road that extends from DC to the Beltway and beyond. Downtown Bethesda and the adjacent single family home neighborhoods however are walkable.

Arlington, unlike Bethesda, is a county and has attractive and unattractive parts. Comparing Bethesda to all of Arlington in those terms is silly. You could argue that Downtown Bethesda looks better than Clarendon or vice versa. Or that Kenwood has style and Country Club Hills wishes it were Kenwood or vice versa.

Bethesda is part of a county, not a standalone town or municipality.  Even its Olympic athletes couldn't get the keys to the city when they were honored today, because, well, there is no city (or town for that matter).  So they got a plaque.   :roll:

There is no "there" there in Bethesda - but there is no "there" there in Arlington, either.

Both are soulless wastelands.[/quote]
