[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re not alone, OP, judging from the huge number of Maryland plates I see driving around my part of Nova - weekdays and weekends.[/quote]
So funny - we recently ran into a coworker of DH’s in McLean, and he says he runs errands there every weekend instead of in DC where he lives bc it’s convenient and parking is so much easier.

But also this thread is kind of reminding me of the fraternity guys in college who would drive three states over for cheaper liquor [/quote]

Look…if you live in Georgetown, then VA will be more convenient because you drive right over the key bridge and get there.  Georgetown isn’t well served by everyday retail/grocery (though has a million restaurants and of course tons of boutique shopping).

Nobody is claiming you don’t use common sense…we always combined a big box store trip with a kid’s sporting event in VA.  Once those were done, we no longer had a need to travel to VA when there were much closer options in MD.[/quote]

I still don’t understand how Tysons and Mosaic are that far away from people who live close to 495 on Western MoCo. It’s a 15-20 minute drive. You’re acting like OP is telling people to drive to Potomac Mills instead of going to Montgomery Mall.

If you can’t see a clear distinction between Montgomery Mall and Tysons Galleria and Tysons 1 I really don’t know what to say. There are just a lot more stores in those Tysons malls and even the ones that are similar in Montgomery Mall aren’t as nice or expansive. See the Macy’s in Tysons vs Montgomery Mall or the Nordstrom in both malls.

I can get my Lucid serviced in Tysons Galleria while I shop for furniture at Restoration Hardware upstairs and then get a latte at a Ralph Lauren coffee shop. There is nothing like that in Montgomery County.[/quote]

And none of that matters unless there are things or services in Tysons that I actually want. In the last 5 years that has been less than once a year.  It’s nice that people like going to Tyson’s.  What I don’t get is why some of those people need to bash other people with different needs and priorities. Why does it matter?  Shop or eat or live wherever.  And enjoy it as best you can.[/quote]

This thread is basically insecure MD folks bashing MD residents for having the audacity to drive 20 minutes on the weekend to shop in a neighboring state because they’re tremendously insecure about the fiscal trajectory of their county. [/quote]

I read it as those 20 minutes equal to 40 with traffic and parking. It's a headache and we'd all prefer to shop other places. [/quote]
