Paige, you haven't seen Essex. It's even worse! In fact, I've found that Dundalk often gets the bad rap for Essex. To make matters worse, in the past 10 years, Essex has gotten so much worse than it ever was.
D.C. = Fun, Fun, Fun!!!
Newark is a good comparison. I get the willies whenever I have to drive to Newark, which is, like, once per year.

check out all the cool bands doing in-stores here:http://www.sonicboomrecords.com/ and you'll see that Seattle is kicking DC's ass in the musical department…
lets put it this way, when you were a kid and you were bad…you had to go to stand in the corner right? remember that? now, look at a map.

I think it beats pointy-Blahnik-look-alike-wearing, afraid-to-get-dirty, apathetic consumerist straight girls

Well at least Seattle/Washington State is good enough to be part of the US. Canada was so lame that 19th Century US expansion never bothered to claim it.
And yes, Seattle does have a certain attitude. One that I'll take over DC attitude anyday.
And again, any store that has Bobby Bare Jr and Stars, two artists that I currently can't get enough of, playing on consecutive days, gets my thumbs up. Those two beat any in-stores in the DC indie rock stores that I've seen in six years.

haha, thanks Mank.
reminds me a joke…
How many American tourists does it take to change a light bulb?
Fifteen.
Five to figure out how much the bulb costs in the local currency, four to comment on "how funny-looking" local lightbulbs are, three to hire a local person to change the bulb, two to take pictures, and one to buy postcards in case the pictures don't come out.

I thought it was every bit as clever as your inspired rant about Seattle.
