[quote=Anonymous]MtP resident for almost 10 years.  Before that---lived in both Dupont and Capitol Hill  I echo what PPs said about loving the small town feel.  On Saturday, I can walk down MtP to a pretty good farmer's market.  On the way, I can run errands at a reasonably priced drycleaners, a hardware store.  I happen to like one of the bodegas for its nice butcher and reasonably priced spices (and nutella).  For higher end foodstuffs and great sandwiches, Each Peach Market has been a great addition to the neighborhood.  I like that my DC can be walked by big sis to karate classes, or that my teenager can hop on the 16th Street bus and metro to Silver Spring to catch a movie with friends, or that I can send my 12 year old down to the market on sunday morning to pick up milk.

I like that my family can walk 5 blocks and get on the Green Line and metro straight to a baseball game.   The kids and I frequently take weekend strolls down into the Zoo.   I love my neighbors---who are economically and racially diverse and interesting and fun people with a wide variety of careers---my street has its share of attorneys and lobbyists but also intl. NGO and non-profit types.  When DH and I want a date night---we can easily head over to restaurants on 11th Street, or walk down to U and 14th.

MtP is an urban neighborhood.  If you just want to be surrounded by other rich white folks, or only want chain retail, or a big yard, then it is not for you.     But for those of us who like a bit more variety, it is great for us.  [/quote]
