[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the rural midwest, have been in Nova 15 years. There are so many more opportunities here than my hometown. Professional, cultural, athletic, recreational, you name it. My kids are old enough now to understand how broad their horizons are here. [/quote] I think this is an interesting take. What I do not understand are DC locals who scream "then leave!", or have some strange notion that whomever is not from DC is from podunk. Some people come to the DC area from really nice and desirable places, and I respect that and hear them out. Maybe they miss their family and lifelong friends, I would too. Sometimes people move somewhere for a job, and intend to only stay a short time. I know some people who wish they could afford to move back to their home town, but they can't, so they stay here. It has nothing to do with me, so I do not take it personally. Simple. [/quote]
