[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok for all the dumping on restaurants; there is actually decent asian and other ethnic food 'out there'. We live in NW DC and actually have a fondness for a couple dumpy looking strip mall joints near Dulles. Honestly, just ask them to make you something they like to eat and you'll get a great meal. Plus there seems to be a decent amount of greenery around. I'm not sure why there is so much ill will to the area  (unless you are commuting to foggy bottom daily).[/quote]

people are snobs.

I begrudge no one living where they want to live for whatever reasons they have to live there.  We don't need to live in the city or close in because our jobs aren't there.  This makes the suburbs a logical choice for us.  Actually, right now, we probably should move south on 95 as that is where my husband works, but our eldest is in HS and we don't want to uproot her at this point, but I digress...just laughing because that would be even MORE hated in DCUM-land

I have lived in several closer-in areas of NoVA over the years, but when we married, we moved out to Western Fairfax and that is where we have been for 17 years (first in Reston in a tiny TH near North Point and now right near Chantilly HS). We are quite happy with our suburban life - close enough to the city, but also close to all the essentials of family life.  We sought out areas where we could walk to some amenities, and these would be something I would want wherever we moved - walkable to schools, library, parks and a few stores and eateries.  I live my normal suburban existence and I would probably live this same existence basically anywhere else because I am a parent - I am involved in the PTA, I've been a Girl Scout leader, etc. etc.  If you think that isn't good enough for you, so be it.  We are happy with it and don't need the "perfect address" to make us feel better about ourselves.[/quote]
