As everyone but you and your hand-slapping buddy have been discussing, Chicago is more dense and far larger a city than DC, and yes - on the ground, there is more activity. More hussle and bustle. It's definitely faster-paced than DC. Visit some time and you'll see.
But yeah, I forgot you were one of the hyper-focused DC boosters, so it's to be expected that you would place DC in the center of the universe. You should get out of DC some time, a bit of perspective would do you good.
I'm not a DC booster. You have a problem with me because of the Vegas vs. DC forum. You're not slick and clearly very in your feelings because of it. But that's not my problem *sips cup*
Btw I chose chicago over DC in this forum. Good day sir
While it may not be the swearing New Yorker, it is rude, and pushy, in it's own way.
The only pushiness I've ever encountered in DC is "Can you get this done by Tuesday instead of Thursday?" That's really about it. The culture is very PC. People won't necessarily walk by you on the street and say "Hiiiiiii!" but they're not rude either.

It is "politically centric." Not everyone has to work in politics for the general tenor of the town to revolve around the political.
This is Gallery Place on a normal day. Anybody else find it ironic that BajanYankee chose a video of New York and Chicago at rush hour (the youtube videos even say rush hour lol) and chose some random bus video for D.C.....smh...

I know, if it was rush hour, you wouldn't even be able to see the sidewalk. Have you ever been to Gallery Place at 5:00 p.m. on a weekday! : smack:
I worked there for 5 years. I know exactly what it looks like. Unless it's inaugural weekend or some big event (i.e., Cherry Blossom Festival), you are not going to see packed sidewalks in DC.
I think you really need to visit other cities, man.

Well idiot, why did you post that video then? Are you really trying to say that is what Gallery Place looks like at 5:00 p.m. on a weekday? I swear, D.C. is so much better off since you moved away. Now, if we could just get you to stop talking about the city as well as visiting, the process would be complete.
