[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah Silver Spring has been going downhill (still love AFI Silver tho, best repertory movie theater in the country).

Bethesda is still really nice, better than any place in NoVa to me. But other than Bethesda I’d take the Clarendon-Ballston-Arlington Forest region over any place in MoCo[/quote]

The problem with Bethesda is that that’s it. There is no reason to go anywhere else in MoCo. Everywhere north and east of Bethesda in suburban MD is either more dangerous or has less amenities.

In Arlington, you can drive to neighborhoods like Del Ray, Old Town, McLean, Tysons, Mosaic, etc. All of these places are as safe as Arlington and have either more or different types of retail than Arlington, like the boutiques in Del Ray or Tysons Mall. [/quote]

Only if you prefer shiny new development and chain stores more than rooted communities with character and diverse neighbors.[/quote]

Like all the chain stores on Rockville Pike? Del Ray has a bigger selection of Mom and Pop stores than anywhere in suburban MoCo. [b]And there is nowhere in MoCo with more history and character than Old Town Alexandria.[/b]

As far as diversity, the schools in Fairfax, Alexandria, and Arlington are as diverse as MoCos. They’re just safer and surrounded by less decrepit infrastructure. [/quote]
Takoma Park. 
Arlington is fugly as hell and Alexandria is dilapidated.[/quote]
