My friend walks to get coffee every morning and then comes back to shower and get ready for work, so yes, basically walks to get coffee in Pjs. I find it bizarre.

Haha - I'm picturing this now. Amusing  :lol: [/quote]

I assume you live in the outer burbs, and walkability is not important to you at all? If not, how is a morning walk in Arlington or Bethesda any different than someone living on Capitol Hill or any other walkable neighborhood in DC?

We live in Arlington.  I appreciate that others value a more urban environment however living in most of DC proper would not be for me.  That said, I do like that I also can walk to a number of local things including a few restaurants, park, library and my kids' schools simply because it is nice to not be completely beholden to your car.  Exercise and fresh air are nice![/quote]
It has nothing to do with dislike of exercise and fresh air, or living the outer burbs. It's bizarre to go get coffee in your pjs and then come back to the house to shower and get ready for work.  In Paris or in Arlington.  Some things should not see the light of day. Or night, come to think of it.[/quote]
