[quote=Anonymous][quote=shirirb]We live in Fort Greene, and I realize I can't replicate it (plus, I've seen what happens to posters who try), but I'd like to be able to walk to a couple of decent restaurants, one place that gets my latte right (ech, I hate myself for saying that), and maybe a couple of stores that don't exist anywhere else?

Hello OP!  I moved to DC from Fort Greene 2 years ago.... but I grew up in Chevy Chase DC so I knew a bit more of what I was getting in to.  I think you are going to be hard pressed to replicate that sort of lifestyle combined with the proximity to the city that Ft Greene offers...  I currently live in AU park a love it.  I can walk to tenleytown where there is a handfull of stores including a whole foods which as far as I know still hasn't managed to make it's way to Brooklyn.  We have good public schools, and the neighborhood is beautiful.  It is however, much more suburban than ft. Greene, and your husband's commute would certainly be longer than you'd like.   Good luck with the change!  I'd say, embrace the things that make DC awesome... and give up on trying to find BK in DC.

PS: I really miss Fort Greene Park. :)  Is the giant dirt patch still in effect?[/quote]
