HAHAHA...
no, not lame (anymore)! In fact, it's actually fascinating to see the changes! You know, I actually grew up watching the downtown Silver Spring Metro being built? The funny thing is that the part where I had lunch use to be a big open (parking lot) area and now it's all closed in. I literally got lost trying to find the place I use to go so often.
Don't get me work Cirrus....There are some parts of the Suburban area that has come along way but they're not really city in the literal context. DC itself, sometimes doesn't feel like a city (at certain hours or places) but it has charm in a way that Silver Spring, Rockville, Bethesda, Arlington, or even Tyson's doesn't have. BTW- back before leaving DC (in '96) I nearly bought a condo on K St for- get this....$79K! I've been kicking myself
ever since as I would have loved keeping 'til now as a place to stay when I go down to visit family!
