[quote=Anonymous]I cringe every time I see a thread on Bowie (or even PG).

If you don't want to live here, then don't.  Frankly, I don't care.  But if you don't live here and haven't lived here in a decade or more, then don't talk as if you *know* Bowie.

I live in Bowie.  It's the best option for me.  And yes, it's a better option than MOCO or NOVA.   For where I work in D.C., the commute is much better than I would find in MOCO, NOVA, Howard, or Anne Arundel County.  And I have public transit options for days I don't want to drive.  There's MARC, which is convenient to my home and work, and there's Metro bus to Metro.

My neighborhood is solidly middle class.  It's not "rough."  There is none of the "tension" that the other PP went on and on about.   Good, nice, friendly people all around of a variety of different ethnicities, ages, and backgrounds.

Money is not the reason I chose Bowie over MOCO or NOVA.  My commute would have been much worse in both those locations.  And Metro has its issues.  At least where I'm at, I also have the option of MARC.

Now, of course, I can't walk to work.  And that would be great, but I don't want to live in a condo in D.C., and I can't afford an entire house within walking distance of my work.  I don't even think there are even townhouses available there anyhow.  Most of the housing within walking distance of where I work comes in the form of condos.  I could afford a condo, but it doesn't work for my needs.

So keep squabbling about "my hood is better than yours" and so on.  It really makes most of you sound rather juvenile and certainly superficial.

As for commute, you really can't discuss commute "to D.C." from any area in the region without saying specifically where in D.C.  There are parts that are more accessible from MOCO and parts that are more accessible from PG.  It really depends where in D.C. you work.  [/quote]
