[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm clearly the odd one out because I adore FH. I lived and worked in Georgetown for seven years, and would often drive to FH. I like that it's less crowded and I like the shopping choices. Now I'm in Bethesda and it's still my go-to place. It's just easy. Street parking isn't impossible. I like perusing Rack. I grab lunch at Booeymonger. Love L&T, World Market, and Bloomies. I find the underground connections convenient, too.

FWIW I was born and raised in 20016 and 20815 and obviously still live locally. I wonder if the area just feels like home to me?

I live a couple of blocks from L&T so FH is definitely home to me. I do think there was a better mix of stores at one point, when there was a Borders, Linens n Things, Filene's Basement, Loehman's eventually and even Stein Mart. But I still enjoy it and find it perfectly walkable. I  go to Rack, DSW, TJ, Maxx, World Market and Booeymonger regularly. And my kid loves Cheesecake Factory and Maggiano's and the movie theaters so we do that too.

Yes, the mix of stores has declined and the restaurant offerings could be better. It would improve with more sidewalk focused storefronts. But I still thinks a decent shopping area and it's not dead, yet.[/quote]
