[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I consider myself LMC or  maybe middle-middle class. In my mind, UMC is Chevy Chase, Upper NW, McLean. We eschew shopping at high end stores. Our kids wear Old Navy or Target. We live in a neighborhood of mechanics, HVAC dudes, low level govt employees. Our school is not a "great school." We are not hyper involved in PTA fundraising so that our public resembles a private. We don't host progressive dinners. We shop at Giant, not Whole Foods. There are a lot of republicans in this neighborhood who probably should be voting Dem if they were voting their own economic self-interest. We go big for tacky holiday decorations, pickup trucks, the Redskins. When I go to UMC neighborhoods, I feel uncomfortable. However I traveled up to Glen Burnie once, that felt like home to me. My husband and I have advanced degrees, but regardless, I wouldn't fit in in the nicer neighborhoods.

I'm UMC and I agree that I don't feel comfortable in LMC neighborhoods. Too tacky and loud.[/quote]
