[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it ironic how all of the Pro-DC people are so quick to look down at us FFX residents as corporate slugs who only shop at Target, eat at chain restaurants, workout at Gold's Gym, and sip of morning Starbucks.

...... since I'm [i]so sure[/i] that none of the DC residents ever go to Starbucks, shop at the Gap, workout at a chain gym, or work in a big glass, steel and concrete corporate building.

Give me a break!!!!!!

Times are changing, DC is a cute museum, that's about it. Progress is refocusing our sights on areas like Tysons.

dc resident here, and while I like my starbucks, t-shirts from gap, and do love a good target trip, I also like being able to walk to the local park, grocery store, and plenty of non-chain restaurants and stores as well. Progress happens everywhere, hell, even wal-mart is building stores in dc (although I still would avoid them for other reasons).

While the metro and new development plans for tysons will hopefully make it better than what it is now, you cannot deny that tysons will never be anything more than a car-oriented edge city. You couldn't even put the metro undergound! If progress means building lexus lanes just to be able to get to tysons, you can have it. I'll keep working downtown and enjoying the city along with everybody else in the district, and it sure will be super convenient once all the va cars stop invading the city every day as well.[/quote]
