You're such a tool sometimes. There are 5 million people in the metro area. Do you think they just rotate them all out of here every 4 years? I don't even care if I'm getting trolled. Enough people believe that myth it pisses me off.

Actual district, not metro area.

You must not get out much.

How long does one have to have lived in DC after birth to be considered FROM the District? I'm sure lots of folks of my age were born in DC, perhaps lived there for a few years, but then moved to the suburbs. I was born in DC, lived there with my parents until I was three, then lived in the relatively close-in suburbs for nearly 50 years.

My boys are sixth generation, born at Washington Hospital Center. Both their grandfathers went to Eastern, grandmother McKinley Tech and great grandmother Cardozo High School.

Hung out with a girl last night who recently moved to Chicago after living for a while in Cleveland Park. Sometimes, people are offered promotions at their jobs and have to move. She likes it there, mainly because people in that part of the country aren't inconsiderate insufferable pricks. Different strokes, I guess.

Specifically for the petworth elitists, Lion's is having their grand opening this Friday.

DC's actual population is around 600K so no, the actual number of DC folks is not great. I work in rockville now and I know plenty of people who call DC their home, your's truly included. I think if you're in the company of people who may be familiar with the area, then you could say I'm from Bethesda or Mclean or Silver Spring. But if you're speaking with someone who's international or from the west coast, it's reasonable to say DC (e.g. like being on vacation people don't need to know you're from wheaton MD, they want to know what part of the country you're from). Furthermore, if you work in the district or spend any time in it, then it's not unreasonable to say you're from DC. I have a good friend from Tarzana Cali who came to MD. He always said he was from LA. Anyone from LA would know that the "Valley" was a good haul from Hollywood Blvd, but why would a person from MD make a distinction?

as I posted, the number of DC residents isn't high to begin with but if you're insinuating anyone living in DC is embarrassed to be known for living in Dc, that's laughable. especially in comparison to philly.

Looks pricey but all the beer places around us are. Glad to have some decent selection without going to the price gouging place at 14th and irving, especially since parking is more of a pain there.

the best place for liquor and wine is along Conn. Ave. Macgruders has shifted to selling more liquor than wine (still good wine selection) and their prices are better than any other place I've seen. circle liquor, aforementioned Calvert woodley, and a couple of places on Wiscy are good as well. On the weekends you can see people from DC and MD with shopping carts full of booze stocking up.

I used to work across the street from Rodman's and Paul's in Friendship Heights. I used to drink a lot.
