That's the spirit!  Way to be grateful to people who revived your piss poor region.  Because we all need to live in outhouses, like you do?  Really?  Tell me more.

Revived our piss poor region?

You seriously think there was nothing here before you arrived and blessed us with your CVS, Starbucks, Whole Foods, Panera, Cupcakes, WalMart, Target, Best Buy... cookie cutter blandness?[/quote]

Out of curiosity PP, what neighborhood in DC did you grow up in, and where do you live now?    What stores do you shop at, and what do you do for entertainment?[/quote]

NP.  Why the forth degree?  Just curious...[/quote]

Because my guess is that the poster to whom I directed that question grew up in Dumfries or some lame suburb and now lives in an even further-out exurb.   This would explain their insistence that all of "new DC" is CVS, Starbucks, Whole Foods, etc. - they are referring to their subdivision, not the actual city that exists all around us today.[/quote]

Dumbest post in the thread and that's saying a lot[/quote]

The person who posted those remarks is a typical transplant obsessed with their newfound urbanness.
Little does he/she know the "lame suburbs" are filled with native Washingtonians who were born and raised in DC.
Native Washingtonians who were in DC for decades.
Wayyyyyyy before today's trendy, wannabe urban transplants arrived here. [/quote]

This is a really sad post.  It makes me think the main thing that most DC natives are upset about is that they they could not keep up as their city improved and property values increased.  They used to be big fish in a small pond.  But not anymore - and boy, are they mad about it.[/quote]

The smart ones, already moved out.

What remains are the slow, lazy ones.

Pathetic.[/quote]
