      Lol food mid. No specialty, driving is terrible, road flow terrible and confusing, it gets cold. How many places have you lived? Because when you move to the south, the driving is less aggressive, more friendly, a little faster. Weather is better in the south, so is the food. Everything is relative, and I’m comparing it to my experiences living other places.

    I'ma born and bred Washingtonian from Northeast DC. A lot of what he said I'd agree with. We've seen our city go through massive changes to be as appealing as it is now. However, the appeal was to do just what it's doing and attract all the out of towners here and make it more inconvenient. Gentrification is real and moving us natives away to finesse newcomers here and inflate the price of EVERYTHING because they don't know any better. Everything is business oriented and transactional, and it births the hunger and desperation for financial stability. Which fuels anger, animosity, attitude and aggression. Any of us native Washingtonian will have that edge to us. Any newcomers will develop it. Even in something small. Like what this brother mentioned, in TRAFFIC! The environment creates it. But they wonder why the crime rate here is so high.. It's rough here and everyone's money hungry. It's very political in how things move in all areas and all about "who" you know.. DC will never be the same again, but it's like, "damn, why create something completely different??" So that everyone feels inclusive.. There's a piece of mind to be obtained here and a certain quality of life. You'll just be inconvenienced in the process of obtaining and maintaining it.. real talk!! FYI, It ain't sweet here and our crazy asses love it! 😂

  • @fromlissawithlove
    @fromlissawithlove Před 4 dny

    As an adopted Washingtonian from the Southwest, my daddy moved us there in 1990 to take advantage of what is now the tech boom. But this is when DC was Chocolate City. When there were soul food restaurants on Georgia Ave, festivals celebrating all shades of Black culture in the summer, and U Street still had a faint echoed breath of the Harlem Renaissance that our hearts could still connect to generations later(RIP Twins Jazz 😢). My husband and I were entertaining the idea of moving to South Carolina where my Gullah Geechie family is, but the same uprooting that has left DC culturally crestfallen is the same thing happening in my daddy’s home town, so we moved to a place in VA that is so rural it’ll be another 30 years before the cultural extraction (sans Novocain) happens. By then our kids will be good and grown, so we will either be in the islands or somewhere in the motherland.

      My opinion changed, like opinions typically do. As I’ve made more, ate more places, traveled more, i realized the food here is not as good as i imagined. For someone coming from a small town with not a ton of travel experience, you’ll love it. If you super well traveled, you’ll think it’s mid here. Again, i said dc food is better than most, worse than many. It lacks for a major metro. It’s the 6th biggest. The food here should be top tier, but it’s not considered a food city

    Also please don't sleep on Baltimore. As someone that spent my entire childhood and 20s in DC and PG County, MD, I moved to Baltimore when I was in my 30s. As a govt employee with almost a decade in the federal govt, if you want access to DC wages without paying the DC cost of living, please look into Baltimore. Federal Hill, Mount Vernon, Charles Village, Canton, Fells Point, and Hampden are all amazing Baltimore neighborhoods that can rival the best of DC but for a fraction of the cost. Consider moving to Baltimore and use the MARC train to commute into DC for work. You will thank me later.

The restaurant scene use to be so much better, but you can still find good ones. A lot of mom and pop places got priced out with gentrification. Where I live there use to be restaurants, barbershops, hair salons, nail salons, local pharmacy and a local Caribbean supermarket. They’re all closed, now it’s all condos, I loved the area, I could walk to everything.
