[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Besides a longer commute, and nightmare traffic, what does Columbia Heights offer that Silver Spring doesn't?  Columbia Heights has just as many chain stores and restaurants as downtown Silver Spring.  [/quote]

I completely agree.  Also SS is not all chains.  Many chains, yes, but independent shops etc. as well.[/quote]

The 14th st strip of Columbia Hts is very commercial but the 11th st side is hipster heaven and might be what someone coming from Ft Greene is looking for.  I don't think OP would like Silver Spring having lived in Ft Greene myself.  Also she would want to off herself in Glover Park or upper NW.[/quote]

I moved here from Park Slope and live near downtown Silver Spring.  I'm also familiar with Columbia Heights.

There is no such thing as hipster heaven in the DC area.  There are no hipsters.

If OP wants to duplicate NYC in DC, she should stay in NYC.  There is nothing remotely comparable here.  She has to make peace with that fact in order to move here and be happy.[/quote]
