[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find everywhere in that area excessively crowded during the day - and small chaotic parking lots - and then desolate at night. I just don’t get the appeal and prefer VA.

I really don’t understand the rugged terrain of the roads.

Driving up Seven Locks at night is basically pitch black and the trees hover over and basically touch each other so you can’t see the sky! The houses seem all dark even if it’s early?  Idk [/quote]

Sure, the 16-lane roads in Tysons/McLean, where every traffic light takes five minutes to change, are so appealing and not at all chaotic :)[/quote]

Speaking of Tysons, go to Patsy’s back bar to watch a nighttime football game and then go to Quincy’s and report back with your findings.

Maybe go to the Boro to go grocery shopping and get a meal at North Italia or go the Capital One Center and go grocery shopping and get a beer at Starr Hill or a meal at Wren. Then go to Park Potomac to compare and contrast. The differences are incredibly stark, let’s just say. And Park Potomac is supposed to be a nice town center with $900,000 condos and $1M+ townhomes.[/quote]
This is such a weird comparison. Tyson’s is massive. There’s no equivalent on the Maryland side. Park Potomac is tiny compared to Tyson’s. Montgomery mall is more of a normal but still functioning nice mall (I never go to Tyson’s for mall things when Montgomery mall since good enough) , but doesn’t have the surrounding restaurants and commercial space that Tyson’s has. Bethesda row is probably the closest to North Italia’s scene. Like and rose also has some nice places like Caruso but it’s more normal, and ofc, pike and rose is much smaller than Tyson’s.

Maybe you’re just more familiar with stuff in the Virginia side. Us on the Maryland side have no shortage of places to go. Personally, for a lot of my more upscale outings I go to DC proper, it’s a 20 min drive from MoCo on River rd or Clara Barton. I don’t “go out” while staying in the suburbs[/quote]

There is actually a shortage of upscale shopping areas that compare to The Boro, Mosaic, Capital One Center, Tysons Galleria, and Tyson 1. It’s not even close.

And it wasn’t always this way. Clarendon was filled with Payless shoe stores and cheap fabric spots in the early 90s when Bethesda was incredibly upscale by comparison. Times have changed.

Park Potomac isn’t even as nice as the Kingstowne Town Center in south Springfield. In Springfield!!! When a town center in the richest part of what used to be the richest county in America is trailing Kingstowne that is a sad. [/quote]
