[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think this should be a surprise.  "The W schools" or "West of the Tip of the Diamond" (west of rock creek park) is a different animal and it is snottier.  I don't know why.  I don't care.  But people purposely move to that area in order to be around that vibe.  Wasn't Bethesda just named the Snottiest City in America?  I mean, they were able to measure it.

We moved to Silver Spring (near blair HS) 8 years ago and love it.  I fairly familiar with snotty and just chose to not immerse my children in it.  In other words, we consciously chose not to live over there because the attitude was so bad.  But, the curbs and sidewalks are much nicer and there are fewer potholes.  Same with the soccer fields.  I'll give you that.

However, another PP is also correct in that we do joke that we are in Pennsylvania when I have to go up 270  for anything.

And, I have three kids -- in HS, MS, and ES.  So I know the academics around here as well.

Bethesda was ranked 2d snobbiest, with Rockville coming in at 8th.  The factors included percentage of residents with college degrees, median house price, and proximity to the arts and private schools.  I personally don't care about private schools or median house price, but having highly educated neighbors who enjoy the arts is hardly a bad thing.  http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/bethesda-rockville-make-list-of-top-10-snobbiest-small-cities-in-america/2014/07/24/feac432a-1339-11e4-9285-4243a40ddc97_story.html[/quote]

That's a silly way to measure snobbiness. Surely if we put our heads together, we can come up with some better metrics?[/quote]
