I've grown up in this city, written poems about it, experienced fantastic times in it, and then some not so fantastic times. Most people that aren't from DC move to the area because of jobs. That's basically it, this is a city of constant transition due to the job market. A huge melting pot for all types of folks from around the world in every profession, but what stands out to me the most is the fact that so many folks don't accept this city for what it has to offer, but instead try and compare it with other surrounding cities or something.
DC has a huge history, it's dumb to say that it doesn't posses "personality" because it does. Its constant changing wave of types of people make it that way. It's not a predictable place, it's a controlled environment due to country landmarks, museums as well as having our nations president down the block, so there's a bit of uptightness, but that's because it's THE MOST THREATENED place in the whole US.
So I always wonder why SO MANY folks claim that they HATE DC. When people get TIRED of any environment, they tend to drift and look for something new, but HATE? What's there to hate? This city might be expensive at times but that's because you're not putting energy into finding a good bargain. You can go through this city and find PLENTY to do without paying a dollar, THAT'S MY WORD.
So for folks to say that people aren't kind here, or personal enough...well this isn't the SOUTH so that southern hospitality will only surface when folks from the south move up here. I like this city because it literally has something for everyone, AND those that complain about it aren't SEEKING to find things to do enough; but TRUST ME, there are places to see and all that jazz. Below are some of my favorite things to do and see in DC:
PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT!!!!!!!
MORAL: My favorite term to come from DC.... "BAMMA" so many of them and so many ways to use that term. Use it wisely and don't abuse it, or we will take it away from you.
