[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]what do Columbia Heights, Petworth, Mt. Pleasant, Takoma Park have to do with either JKLM schools or Brent?

I suspect the reason PP thinks that matters is because kids are in CHARTERS where everyone they know is scattered to the winds and doesn't live nearby.  While we occasionally head to friends homes in NW, we just as often meet up somewhere central or host on the Hill.[/quote]

I think the point originally was that if you live in JKLM and your friends are in Columbia Heights, Petworth, etc. then you stay in NW and thus Capitol Hill feels a long way away, thus "isolated."

I would argue that it is more the fact that a number of people who live on the Hill tend to have this attitude (as evident in this post) that it is the greatest place ever, no one who lives anywhere else could possibly be as happy as they are, no one has it as good as they do, they don't ever have to leave the neighborhood, etc. etc. and thus that makes them isolationists in a way.  They are kind of like New Yorkers who act like NYC is the center of the universe and living anywhere else pales in comparison, and if you don't agree then you are just an idiot.  It gets pretty tiresome.[/quote]

I find tiresomes the dismissiveness of some of the JKLM crowd who know next to nothing about the Hill but make blanket statements about the Hill and its schools that vary from misguided to antagonistic.[/quote]
