Downtown Bethesda looks better than Clarendon, and Kenwood has far more élan than CCH.
People in Bethesda use words like "élan.". With a straight face. Enough said.
Particularly people who live in 500K 1950s splits in Bethesda.
Also, the international thing is nonsense. The vast majority of my colleagues at the World Bank line in DC, Arlington or McLean.
+1 my kid's public elementary in Clarendon is filled with State Dept, World Bank and Obama Cabinet members...a few Congressman. It makes for a high turnover in friends--every few years. It is a very International elem. school.
This comment is so obnoxious. Are you talking about Science Focus?
At this point, the sooner the Obama administration turns over, the better. It's a lot like Arlington itself. Looks good on paper, but overrated and under-performing.

Agree re in-state schools and Jews, but who needs Harris Teeter. All my Arlington friends rave about it, but when I've been there it's just meh.

Well, were they?
Of course.
Those of us in Bethesda are who we are. I can't pretend to be someone who makes $125,000 a year.

Some people have more important things to do than watch TV and thus don't recognize B-grade actresses, let alone their quotes.
Like what? As between reading US Weekly and foaming at the mouth on DCUM for no good reason, I'll take US Weekly hands down.
And Gwyneth is an actress and author who not only deserves, but commands, our deepest respect.

What was Gwenyth talking about? Was NY the location of the fabulous dinner party, while LA was the home of the Juicy Jeans chick? Or was it a dinner party in London and fashion talk in NY?
