Does DC have any neighborhood having beautifully built old houses for ordinary citizens? I would love to tour old houses on bike.

Off topic, but I’m curious: how are these museums funded?

Where are you from, PP? They are funded by the federal government. And before you try to start something, DC pays more federal taxes than 22 other states (highest per capita) and has over 700,000 residents with no representation in their government, including over 11,000 members of the military.

Just went for a nice walk, grabbed some Indian food, and ate it on our patio.

Said hi to a few neighbors.

There are a lot of people on the street looking happy.

Very glad to be back in DC - what a great city. And we haven’t even seen all of our friends yet. Looking forward to catching up with more people and meeting new ones. The people in DC are the best part of living here.





(Ps trolls: we know there are lots of conservatives who love to troll this site and try to bring people down. First: it doesn’t work. Second, if you’re going to be negative about DC whether you are a troll who lives in Tennessee or just a conservative hating on the city because you are jealous — take it to another thread. Yeah guns/violence/busing/states rights/density/racial divisiveness, we’ve heard it all from you, take it somewhere else.
Positive views on DC only.
Backhanded compliments and/or hating — take to another thread and pollute that one.)


So excited for this summer in the city!

There are very few things I dislike about living in DC, but the weather is at the top of my list. I want more winter and fewer 90+ degree days. Can't believe we are already doing this in May.

DP. Same, PP, same. I am not built to withstand hot, humid summer weather. You'd think I'd acclimate after 20 years but sadly, I have not.
