[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes,  both areas are frequented and supported by the same community. And there are two restaurants doing well in 'low density"  New Mexico Ave. practically on Au's doorstep (and the mall is owned by them). Not sure why Tenleytown is getting no love/appreciation from AU. Their AU bus rolls through constantly all day. Perhaps that should be looked at. Would be good for the students to walk more.[/quote]

It is unclear what point you are trying to make (a recurring theme in this awful thread) but no Tenleytown and Cathedral Commons are not at all the same area even if they are on the same corridor.

If you drive everywhere they may seem like the same place to you.

But the many students in the neighborhood at Wilson, AU and to a lesser extend GDS and Sidwell do not in fact  drive everywhere nor do they have unlimited time to get food.  And the AU shuttle bus does not serve Cathedral Commons nor is Cathedral Commons near a Metro station.

So yes they are distinct areas for those populations that aren't driving everywhere - I get that you live in Ward 3 and don't understand that some people have different means of getting around but the fact is that not everyone gets in their car for every thing they do and that includes people in your demographic.[/quote]

I do not own a car and I walk. Both are easily reachable by foot and I consider both in my backyard. You make assumptions it seems like only someone who drives everywhere would make on behalf of my pedestrian community...  there are also bike shares and easy 30 buses to hop on. If you visit any of the exercise classes on the upper level in cathedral commons they are full to the brim with students/ AU and more. [/quote]

Sigh.

A student (or office worker for that matter) on lunch break is not going to walk 15 minutes each way to get lunch.

So effectively Cathedral Commons is serving a very different market.

And I'm aware of the buses and Capital Bikeshare - I'm pretty confident I use both of them more often than you do.[/quote]

You're right. I don't use bikeshare. I use DC buses plenty and prefer them to metro. Why are you so driven to profile me? Get a job with the tsa or fbi and  get the training you clearly require to put that desire to use for the common good. [/quote]
