[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the person you're telling is familiar with the area, then North Arlington makes sense. In the same way you'd tell a local you live in Dupont (instead of saying DC). Not boastful. There are very few ways to describe where you're from in Arlington to a local. It's pretty much North or South. [/quote] This. Don't overthink it. It's no different from the major gripe of whether someone in the DMV area identifies as being "from DC" when talking to someone who doesn't know the area at all. Not everything is about status or virtue signaling. [/quote] I would assume this, too, as someone who grew up in Bethesda and now lives in Silver Spring. When locals ask where we live, I say “close-in Silver Spring,” or “Silver Spring, right by Kensington.” Silver Spring is *huge*, as is Arlington, so giving a little more information makes sense. It’s not like the person said Lyon Village or something.[/quote]
