[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I brought it up as odd above. I am from NY and there are only two ways to go, get out of the city or go private if you can afford to. I didn't mean it as an insult, but I do get the religious angles locally here to an extent. But how far it seems to go is pretty incredible. It seems like DC people are a lot less transient than people from other metropolitan areas. I didn't see myself as living in NY as a given most of my adult life after growing up there. We lived in Chicago and more of the same. A lot of people multi generation, but many kids grow up and just leave. [/quote]

There are a lot of transients here too, of course. And there are a lot of kids that grow up here and leave.

But there are also some groups that have been here for a long time and whose kids return after college and live here. And that's quite common in the large Irish Catholic group that lives in NW DC and Montgomery County. In fact, one of the big differences between the NYC and Philly Catholic populations and DC's is comparatively how few Italians there are here.[/quote]
