[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to work in Frederick in the late 90's and I had to drive past a Confederate flag, in a yard on a flagpole everyday. This was 25 years ago but I have a feeling the attitudes are still there. Given the choice, I would go with Moco.[/quote]

There's a HUGE Trump flag and a HUGE 'women for Trump' flag at the intersection of Woodfield Rd & Fieldcrest in Gaithersburg, MD.

You guys want to judge a whole community by the presence of a few flags.  [/quote]

I think everyone knows that Frederick is notorious for their attitudes towards race. My white co-workers even called it Fredneck. Just so you know, it just wasn't a few flags. It was stickers on cars, t-shirts, tattoos. I saw the Confederate flag everywhere. After two years of that and the commute to Frederick, I was more than happy to be transferred to another office.[/quote]

Sure.  But the late 90s was 25 years ago.

MoCo used to be called the place for "rich people and [b]rednecks[/b]" [b]when I first moved to the DMV too in the late 90s[/b][/quote]
Nope, not true. You're definitely making this up[/quote]

Making it up?  The first time I heard that phrase, it was on DC101.  Elliott used it on his phrase when they were reporting on some story.

Then, we moved out of DC and into MoCo, and heard the phrase.  I haven't heard it in a long time, but "the rich and the rednecks" was a real phrase used to describe MoCo[/quote]
