Undoubtedly, one of the coolest places I’ve ever been. A lot of Lotus friends live in that area, I’d go there 1-2 times a year to hang with them, and see everything there. There is a LOT to see. The monuments, and all the history is really quite spectacular. ---

Do not undestimate the traffic problem… it’s the worst on the east coast. DC itself is cool. One of my best friends lives there, and he complains about the abundance of phony eurotrash and scene kids. Regardless of that the bars are cool, automotives are huge and there are good “local” car forums also. Women are 5x hotter there than here, and getting a job is a lot easier- including many gov’t jobs. ---

I think you get the idea, but yeah I have a few friends that lived there. One is currently in Alexandria, which is very expensive. Traffic is horrible, I drove through DC at 8 at night on a weekday and there was still bumper to bumper traffic commuting out from the city. ---
