[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, if I lived in Brambleton (not quite sure where that is) and never came into DC, I'd don't think I'd leave this area with an overall high impression.  So...you might be justified in that.

We live in Arlington, work in DC, and poke around museums, go to shows, and try new restaurants on the weekends.  We love living in NOVA.  [/quote]

Hate to tell you, but OP hasn't said anything, in his dismissal of Brambleton, to suggest he'd be happy if only he were living in Arlington.  He probably wants a lake, a good place to go tubing, a yard big enough to park two trucks, low taxes, and neighbors who think Hillary Clinton belongs in jail.  None of which you'll find in Arlington.

But nice try to treat his posts as an excuse to talk about Arlington.   [/quote]

Weird response.  My only point was that at least Arlington is proximal to something.  Not out west with the tumbleweed.  [/quote]

I'm sorry, dear child.  If you want to separate yourself from the bridge and tunnel crowd, and you so clearly do, you don't live in VA.   [/quote]

There is not bridge and tunnel crowd in DC - because unlike NYC, where getting into Manhattan can be a pain, crossing the Potomac (which I do routinely by bike) is no big deal.  Easier to get to Georgetown from Rosslyn than from parts of upper NW.   And its anachronistic in NYC as well, now that North Brooklyn is far hipper than Manhattan. [/quote]

That is so sweet.  Does it make you feel better about living in a bland quadrant of the former Confederacy?

And did you just compare Arlington to Williamsburg or Greenpoint?  LOL.[/quote]

I live in the City of Alexandria. It is anything but bland.  A lot less bland than most of  Upper NW.  (BTW, don't you have some protest to protect historic parking spaces on Connecticut Avenue to go to?)

I feel great about the City moving ahead on race relations.   That it was in the confederacy in the 1860s bothers me not at all.  Are you bothered that DC had slavery until 1860?  That it had de jure segregated schools until 1954?

I don't think Arlington is like Williamsburg or Greenpoint, so no, I did not make that comparison. I merely pointed out that your use of "bridges and tunnels" is from like 1990.  Its anachronistic even in NYC, and never applied to the DC area.  [/quote]
