[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in Chicago and have lived here 20 years. There are certainly things I miss, but I wouldn't move back. Weather is part of it, sure, but I feel like people greatly overlook the other negatives. First and foremost-- racism. The segregated history of the city runs deep and it's just not the environment I want to be in. [/quote]I met my spouse here. Driving down into southern Virginia to meet the in-laws, I saw more confederate flags than I could count. I was visibly shaken and a bit frightened. [/quote] dp.. but southern VA is not the DC area, really. I mean I could go out many miles outside of Chicago and probably see confederate flags. As OP asked about Arlington, so comparing Chicago suburban schools to DCPS is not what OP is asking about. Comparison should be Chicago suburban schools to APS.[/quote]
