    overtheedge:
    Washington DC is a nice place to visit. 

    I'm sure there may be some nice places to ive, and for sure I'd love to see many of our coutry's historic stuff...but probably never will.

     

    The thing that prompts me to reply is in the early 80's, at my first job out of school, I met up with a coworker...we got along great and became good frinds...thing is after 4-5 months of him saying "No" we me and the rest of the crew asked if he'd like to join us for beers after work (and we'd had many at each other place)...I asked "Why not head out with us"?

     

    He replied, kinda sheepishly, that the excess money spent at a bar/club, cut into the funds he was saving up for, to get his Mother and two brothers out of DC.

     

    He went on explaining...and also mentioned (to my shock) that they lived within walking distance of the Tourist area.

     

    Kinda set the tone for me...maybe things changed?..I dunno.

     

    Lastly...I'm kinda at wonder here, as no one was bashing the fallen soldiers, yet that was brought up?

     

    Seems to me there has been some selective reading and quick replies.

     

    Any ways, I'll party with them BYU Babes anytime!

    I've personally been to D.C. over 30 times myself. My late Grandfather lived I believe on 10th street, perhaps 10 blocks from the white house... not sure that's the correct street name... He took 3 condo's and combined it into one suite. but also had land in the country 2 hours away in Virginia. It's a city you may not want to live in as your sole residents per say. You're either a city kind of guy/girl or you're not, or you're like my grandfather; best of both worlds. It's still a VERY cool city in my eyes - some are just better off in the country or suburban type living. Would I rank it #1? Maybe not, but it isn't far off by any means. You just have to know where to go. There are some bad areas, and there are some VERY good areas. I've been to other major cities including Chicago and New York and to be honest? New York was probably worse than D.C, so would you call New York a dump too?.... There are always bad sections or dumpy sections in cities... some worse than others.

    I wouldn't go as far as calling someone unpatriotic if they don't like the city, but I certainly wouldn't call the whole city a dump, that is completely incorrect.

    Also, some of the comments in this thread are pretty sad. I used to get into it with people in the forums. It just ain't worth it! As the old sang goes "Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience".
