[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Native here.  DC transplants to me seem unnaturally enthused with the city.  I am 27 and when people find out I grew up here I get a lot "Wow!!!!  Really?!!  I can't imagine having grown up in DC!!  OMG!"

I always kind of have to hold back laughter because it just seems so absurd to me.

I think many of the transplants see DC as some sort of Gotham/metropolis, which i can understand, since many came from small towns.  But having grown up here, DC really feels like a small town to me, in many ways, so I don't understand the shock at people imagining kids growing up here.[/quote]

I lived in Atlanta and transplants would act like this.  This behavior isn't unique to DC.  [b]There are also many people, including myself, who find DC small and unimpressive. [/quote][/b]

In what ways do you find DC small and unimpressive? [/quote]

It is a small city, but I like it.  There is noticeably less wealth than other cities such as London or NY.  People get really excited over the price of real estate when it isn't that expensive and get really into private schools when they aren't that big of a deal.  [/quote]
