This might be the TH that the OP is looking at - looks pretty nice:

I would hesitate paying for the most expensive model there, but if you love it and think you'll stay for at least 5 years then it's worth it.

Those are very nice, only ten years old or so, and radically better schools.

And you can walk to metro without crossing 6 lanes of hwy 29

What high school are these homes zoned for?

looks like Marshall?

uh oh - don't want to attract the Marshall lady...

I expect someone zoned for Falls Church HS might disagree as to whether Marshall is "radically better."

I think there's one person who has a bug up his ass because another poster posted so frequently about Mosaic and its spiritual cousin, Pimmit Hills. The other bashers just feel threatened by anything that might be an alternative to where they live. If someone buys an EYA townhouse at Mosaic, it may keep the prices down in Bethesda or Clarendon.

There are at least two posters who don't care for the MD/PH booster(s). MD/PH are perfectly fine - it's great that some people like to live/eat/shop there. It's the booster with the nasty language that grates. Although sometimes he's quite amusing - thinking that what happens in MD/PH will somehow affect what is happening elsewhere in the area. Snicker.

I wouldn't start gratuitous threads about MD or PH, knowing that people are ready to pounce. And I found some of the PH boosterism grating as well.

Even so, what happens in MD and PH does affect what is happening elsewhere in the area, or at least the prices that are paid to lease space or purchase properties elsewhere. "Snicker" is just code language for "these places aren't as cool as where I live yet, so please don't do anything that might reduce the demand for my apartment/condo/house." It's not rocket science.

You're dumb as shit bro, the county officially named it Mosaic go back to your shit hole

http://www.fcrevit.org/merrifield/download/Mosaic/PreliminaryLimitedOfferingMemoC.pdf

You're charming. Maybe we can grab a drink together sometime at The Mosiac.

Also, you unwittingly proved PPs point. It's merrifield

Wait - you think I give a flying f*ck what you call that sh!t hole out there? Not really...

Given that this thread has nothing to do with boosterism, I can only assume the latter point must be true.

You know what they say about making assumptions.

By all means, please feel free to offer an alternative explanation. Not a response to boosterism, not people feeling threatened, so it must be......just your average, run-of-the-mill, DCUM bitchiness??

Im really tired of praving about four sisters. Give it a rest already! It is just an average Asian place. Just because it's the only decent Asian place within 2 miles of here doesn't make it some amazing restaurant.

It actually sort of sucks!

No, it's actually awesome, particularly when compared to the Cheesecake Factory in Clarendon, the Uncle Julio's in Bethesda Row, and anything in Columbia Heights.

Have you set foot on 11th street, ever? No. You have not.

Yes. There's not a single restaurant there as good as Four Sisters.

There may be more bars. Better for the criminals, too, who can follow the hipsters home at 2 AM and then beat and rob them.

Hm. What if someone wants to eat at a good place that's not Vietnamese once in a while when living in Merrifield? that's right. No other options for a Cassoulet or antipasti.

Yes, I'm sure RJ Cooper's new place will be horrible.

I think I'd make the short trip to Cafe Renaissance in Vienna for French. Delicious, and fewer DC poseurs spoiling the evening.
