personally, suburbanites generally freak me out. I think people move to the suburbs because they are unable to share their space with others.

or they are afraid of the colored folk :)

So you mean the burbanites are the ones making DC 'cool'.

If that is what you call "cool"?

thank you for making my point, that most of the people bringing up "dc is cool or not" issues on this board are the suburbanites, rarely do I see city dwellers on this board talk about how cool life in the city is unless somebody has talked bad about it first, and I for one hate the 4 P's, but we have been through that before
When I move to VA, my train commute will be 45 mins each way. I am not sure how much of that is within District lines (probably well under half), so I guess I should add another .5 hours per day round trip spent in DC.

You forgot commuting time within the district. I bet that is going to be at least an hour each day. that would take you closer to 1/4 of your time.

so you work in the DC train station?
But in real life, away from the board…

Wouldn't you say that more city dwellers talk down in regard to the suburbs and suburbanites than suburbanites talk down in regard to the city and city dwellers?

That's been my observation…

My place of work is a 15 second walk from Union Station….directly across the street.

go post it on craigslist rants and raves then, whats the point of having a conversation on here if people are just talking to people who aren't even here, I for one would never seriously tell people they are not cool because they live in the suburbs, I tell people that all the time, but it is joking with my friends then
No, the burbanites *generally* are the ones you described first – the ones you can pick out easily in the crowd, flooding places like New Vegas Lounge in their dockers and pink gummy purses from Nordstrom. Well, suburbanites and G'town kids. Going to Total Beverage is like falling into a tri-Delt social events meeting.

I don't wear them, but what about Dockers, boat shoes, gummy bear purses, etc. makes a person a lesser person?

It seems like having a condescending, mocking attitude toward people for what they wear makes a person a lesser person.

Nope, I've observed it's the suburbanites harping on "when are you going to move out here over the river? Come on, it's like getting a 2% raise…." I've heard that maybe 175 times, and I've never suggested to anyone out there to move into the city. My lifestyle is still city centric, so it makes sense that I live near the things that I do….

Mankie made the assertion that it's a clusterf*** of sameness. If that's the picture he was drawing, I think it's more apropos in reverse. If you don't think you'll see more people dressing the same (which was my point, not what they were actually wearing, but that it's more of a uniform – all the same) in a Safeway in north Arlington than you would in a Safeway in DC (excepting G'town), then I can't argue with you because I just don't know where you been shoppin'.

You'll be in the burbs any minute and won't have to deal with small city folks, anyhow.
