Yikes--the reference to "by them" is deeply concerning.

Exactly!
Please tell us which of DC's many "music street festivals" and other "scenes" residents such as ourselves should be avoiding. As a longtime dues-paying FONZ member I'm also curious why you think we need to avoid the National Zoo on Easter.

That's not DC
Only DC matters. The rest of the US is beneath DC.
Well this site is DCUrbanmom.com
And if only DC people were commenting there would be no DCUrbanmom.com
Yeah. No. DCUM was a much better site when it was only DC area users. Now it's a Reddit-meets-exurban-Kansas City shit show most days
Easy solution, find another site. Or just set up your own little chat group. Or gasp, since you all live near each other meet in person and chat.
I don't want a Little Chat Group. I want an online community of thousands of District of Columbia/close-in parents, producing a hive mind that is relevant and intelligent. Don't you have a Pampered Chef party to attend?
Then stick to the parenting sections. Do you really think the "Political Discussion" section is limited to local DC politics only? If so, your intelligence level isn't even worthy of a Pampered Chef party.
I guessed wrong earlier; Don't you have some 4chan porn to take into the bathroom with you?
Even the DC schools forum is no longer safe from the helpful commentary of you and your brethren, and the Missouri-based Yankee Candle crowd.
