[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Palisades doesn't feed to Deal.
 
But this PP is correct about Deal feeder neighborhoods. If you like Silver Spring, Takoma park area, you can look across the street from Takoma Park in Shepherd Park DC, also across the street from Rock Creek Park (one of the only two neighborhoods that feeds to Deal that are east of the Rock Creek Park). It's not as urban as Georgetown, [b]but more than Chevy Chase[/b] because its walkable to urban parts of Takoma and Silver Spring is currently undergoing huge development at Walter Reed that will make it more retail friendly. Also, you can get a lot more for $1m, plenty of street parking, and very diverse neighborhood (albeit not much in terms as SES as it has always been a historically upper class, black and Jewish neighborhood of DC.[/quote]

Shepherd Park overall more walkable than Chevy Chase DC? Not really. There is a good chunk of CCDC (specifically the part between Wisconsin and Conn. Avenues) that is more walkable than the vast majority of Shepherd Park, most of which is far from everything.[/quote]

No dog but yes there are parts of CC that are not even a mile to any retailer or metro. Then there are some that are close to limited retail, bars and restaurants. There are parts of SP that are about a mile to anywhere but then there are parts that are 5-6 blocks from grocery, library, metro, bars, restaurants etc. Also, once Harris Teeter opens in SP there will be even more retail, restaurants then when Walter Reed finishes developing, choices will only get bigger. I would consider them similar. SP (parts by Georgia) is a little more urban and diverse (Nepali, Ethiopian, Peruvian cuisines all in SP) then even more choices in SS or Takoma depending on if you're north or south in SP.[/quote]

And then there's the significant part of ccdc, the one where i live so I feel pretty qualified to talk about it, that has a walk score around 90 and is 1-4 blocks from metro and a boat load of commerce that is actually useful every day.  Neither Bo concepts nor a bar devoted exclusively to hard cider, in other words.  [/quote]
