[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The difference between the DC and Tyson's up and coming area is that

in dc you have this (people shitting in the streets) http://dcist.com/2009/12/street_view_captures_apparent_publi.php
in VA you have strip malls and boring chain restaurants

I would rather have the VA problem. Hint you can't get rid of the DC people very easily, you can get rid of the boring shops and strip malls without push back.[/quote]

In VA near Tysons you have a lot of family-owned restaurants in strip malls and a few chain restaurants in Tysons and the nearby areas.

Chains move into areas with lots of disposable income.  I'm happy to have the chains recognize there is money in Tysons.  It doesn't mean that I have to eat at them when there are less expensive, better alternatives close by.

I'm sure there are some good restaurants in DC, too, but IMO there are far more truly terrible restaurants in DC than in the suburbs.  What's funny is to watch the yuppies line in DC at the food trucks that are mobile versions of the VA/MD strip-mall restaurants, and think they are having a singular "urban" experience.   [/quote]
