[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m from Capitol Hill.  Throughout the country I’ve met people who say “oh, I’m from DC too” and I ask where and they say something like Fairfax.

It is incredibly annoying.  They’re not the same.  [/quote]

They’re also not that different except that it’s easier for the Fairfax people to park in front of their home.  Really, you DC people need to get over yourselves.  DC is a tiny city with a million suburbs. People are going to say “dc” and mean it in the the broad sense because no one cares. [/quote]

Where does it end? Centreville? Front Royal? Hagerstown?

[b]Who cares if they’re geographically near[/b]: they’re not the same! It’s like being from Westchester and saying you’re from NYC.  Uh, no you’re not.[/quote]

You do, obviously.

I love it when these transplants wrap their whole identity on a zip code. I live in Arlington and am closer huge swaths of DC than are every single person in the Palisades.[/quote]

I’m not a transplant, I am a native. I grew here, you flew here boo![/quote]
I'm not the PP, but as someone who did not fly here (grew up in PG just outside the city line and now live in Arlington). I feel like I am WAY more DC than the vast majority of folks who grew up in DC proper.  And I am 1000% more DC than anyone who grew up west of 14th street.  If go-go and Chuck Brown were not the soundtrack of your childhood, can you even claim native status?  I'm from DC.  PERIODT.[/quote]

If you grew up her you would have know it was always east of 16th street that the jungle started. And yes go-go is not a prerequisite for membership. [/quote]
