Yes, people from Alexandria tell people they are from "DC" all the time. I've been doing it for 50 years. So have my siblings, classmates, neighbors and friends. If someone akss more I'll specify Old Town. If they want to quibble that that isn't 'technically' DC 'proper', I'll just stare at them like the D bag they are.
That's strange. The only time I tell people I am from "near DC" is when I am travelling internationally and they are unlikely to be able to identify where Alexandria is. I don't say I am "from DC" because that's untrue. Why would you say you are from a place that you don't actually live?

Horsesh*t. Never mnd the fact that Alexandria is widely considered to "DC", given, you know, the fact that it's all of a little jog from the city proper. Camden yards is....... Baltimore.
Your agument is getting more pathetic with each page.
No, Alexandria is Alexandria, and not DC. No one in Alexandria says they are from DC or live in DC and no one in DC considers anything across the river to be DC.
The main problem is, Alexandria is in one corner of the metropolitan region. An arena like this that serves the fans of the region should be accessible to the region, and this location isn't. It's Ted's team to do as he pleases, but he is thumbing any goodwill he has had at 2/3 of his fan base with this move.
Look at a map before posting again.
From a transportation standpoint, it is absolutely in one corner. How long does it take someone from Rockville or Ashburn to get to Potmac Yards as compared to Gallery Place?
Hopeless.

43 versus 37 minutes. OMG you have found the fatal flaw in this deal. 6 minutes.

It opens up the market for the area north of the Potomac to middle branch right off 95 for an NHL franchise right near nicks fish house and port Covington on the water. Perfect for the view, convenience and before /after activities.
No, it really doesn't. There won't be a second NHL team in this region any time soon for a variety of reasons.
+1
These posts that gleefully talk about Baltimore or Maryland getting an NBA and/or NHL franchise because the Caps and Wizards are moving five miles amuse me.

Baltimore will never get an nba or nhl franchise. It is never going to happen. The baltimore region isn’t growing and has practically no corporate base. Just stop.

I believe them.
I don't recall them saying this.
They said no to the Redskins back in the 90s and are saying no now.
