One day, I'll get to move into the city--we're chasing a rabbit and we're about $200-a-month-in-income behind to make it work. Of course, the wife and I enjoy ten minute commutes, so who's to say we'll move. I guess we'll cross the Key Bridge when we come to it.The Deceiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08289692670762520282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852742.post-1128003877362503832005-09-29T10:24:00.000-04:002005-09-29T10:24:00.000-04:00i'm an unapologetic defender of what most of the d...i'm an unapologetic defender of what most of the dcists would consider the backward parts of virginia (hey - 4 years there - it grows on you). that said, i think it would be instructive for the uber-cool nitwits to realize just how many of the food-service workers/bartenders/doormen in their favorite hangouts live in va because it's what they can afford on the shitty tips that indie kids invariably leave.Ethan Wiggumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550967582298216689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852742.post-1128003002885742562005-09-29T10:10:00.000-04:002005-09-29T10:10:00.000-04:00Honestly, it usually doesn't bother me that much. ...Honestly, it usually doesn't bother me that much. I spend very little time in NoVa, and there are plenty of things to make fun of. I agree, the variety is in the city. But I just hate when one person makes a comment about how VA sucks, and then everyone jumps on the cool-kids bandwagon to mock the suburbs. Piss off. Besides, I hardly doubt anyone mocking the suburbs even knows HALF of what's available in their own city. Drinks are on me, a suburban girl, the next time they can find their way to the Raven.The Governesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17974317777615888649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12852742.post-1128002478586605152005-09-29T10:01:00.000-04:002005-09-29T10:01:00.000-04:00That DCist comment bugged me too.

And honestly, DC just can't claim the cultural dominance that the commenter seems to assume. w/r/t this particular debate -- how many good, seedy, rock-friendly bars are there in DC versus in NoVa? Maybe 3 more? That's not such a huge advantage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
