[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I can walk in less than 10 min to multiple parks, restaurants, bars, FedEx, CVS, 2 Starbucks, Harris Teeter, 2 breweries, 2 barber shops, dry cleaning, kids indoor play spaces and I'm probably forgetting ones! It's an awesome place to live.[/quote]

Thank you.  This is the kind of info I am looking for.  Would you say middle school kids can wander about meeting friends after school or weekends (within reason)?[/quote]

My middle schooler and their friends are cheerfully feral once school is out. They bounce around the community center gym and teen space, parks and sport courts, food options, and whatever games (rec, pickup, high school) are being played. All in all, it’s a very safe place to develop some basic street smarts and public behavior norms. I frequently get reports from other parents that they saw DC out and about, which helps me reinforce lessons like “The grocery store is not a playground.”[/quote]

Please keep reinforcing that. It’s a huge problem in that Falls Plaza shopping center. Some middle school boys almost knocked me over yesterday at Giant. School had just gotten out and four boys were in the store and one of them was yelling “Just give me a dollar” over and over and then they started whipping their backpacks at each other, laughing and yelling. If one had hit me, which they almost did, I would have made them very, very sorry. [/quote]

The FCC kids behave atrociously at that whole strip mall. Feral is right but not cheerful. They are a menace and I wish their parents taught them better. I have seen the same behavior in FCC restaurants- the kids behave so badly and parents find it cute. [/quote]

It's not remotely cute. [/quote]
