The Redskins are worth more than the Celtics, Bruins, Pats and RedSox and haven't won anything in 20 years. Makes you say Hmmmmm.

I agree. It bugs me because I used to live in DC and really do love the city. I don't know why a handful of the DC posters on this forum really have a major chip on their shoulder. In terms of all-round activity, DC isn't on par with Boston or Philadelphia. Spare me the, "but DC has x amount of square footage and x number of people during the day!" rant. I've lived it. I am down there at LEAST twice per year. Great city, but the downtown p*ssing contest on this particular forum is off-putting. I hope people on this forum who haven't been to DC don't think this is what all DC residents are like.

Yeah, and end up empty handed. Second place is for losers! The Pats are 0-2 in non spygate Superbowls. Make you say Hmmmmm.

I like that area (Block) in DC; shame the cohesion drops off so rapidly and why a whole neighborhood like Rittenhouse Sq smack next to and seemlessly flowing into Weshington Sq West is something that just doesnt exist in DC. Enjoy you block, I will enjoy my block after block with seemless cohesion and consitent vibrancy
