For such a "fast paced city" DC doesn't even have express and skip stop trains like you can find in NYC, Philly and Chicago
It is pretty fast paced. Do you remember that scene from Boardwalk Empire where the Maryland Mafia came up to Philly to lay down its terms and conditions? See, back then, Maryland had New York, Philly and Chicago all under its thumb. That's because the DC area had the most streetwise, fast-talking, street smart gangsters there ever were. You had to be street smart to survive in a city that fast.
No, saw it. It was reasonable. Also, you're on a forum. Not private messages.
DC is distinctively slower paced. Why not just turn that into a compliment? What's the innate advantage of having to live in a rush or having to bump through crowds? Why is that a better thing? Why wouldn't you just figure that a slower pace of life might be better for someone from a small town?
Of course, blowing your top is somehow the better way to do things.
I could have sworn it's your choice to push that little quote button when you read something. So yeah, if you don't want to fight, don't jump in. This little West Indian is annoying. He's like one of those city rats, you just can't get rid of the cat sized vermin.
I take back everything. Here's an accurate representation of the DC rush hour crush. I didn't realize how much the city has changed in the last 3 years. Oh my! I can see why DC has that "outta my way!" street mentality.
Now, when I go make a video of Gallery Place at rush hour, post it on here, and it looks exactly like this video, will you come eat crow here? I doubt it. You along with most posters on here love city-data so much because most people on here can't prove you wrong. You can say whatever you want and they never come back and make you look stupid. Well you know me wayyyyy better than that. Montclair18 thought the same thing in that shopping thread. We will see sir!!!! To be continued......

You will never see a crowd that large in DC, period. You can find larger crowds along 7th Street when a Wizards or Caps game lets out. But you can find large crowds anywhere after a sporting event. I'm sure the crowds outside of the Staples Center are large too.

I swear that is exactly how the sidewalk looks on 7th walking down towards the Gallery Place metro station every afternoon and I will let the video prove it. You know I'm going to post it on here so just be on the look out for it.

Ohkaaaaay.
It's so cute how DC posters think of Gallery Place as Times Square, Jr., not realizing there are areas of non-NYC cities in the U.S. that are denser, more bustling, and intimidating from an urbanity perspective.
I'll get the right angle. Videos are all about perspective. Notice the angle of all the shots he keeps posting. The DC videos are amateur, that's the problem. The camera needs to be high enough that you can see at least 400 meters down the street. It also needs to be tilted the right way so you can see the size of the crowd.

This is a stupid comment.
NYC, Chicago, and Philly having express tracks have nothing to do with pace, but the era they were built and how they were built. Most subway lines in those cities are either cut and cover or elevated over the streets. DC's subway system is much newer and almost all of it is bore tunnel deep under the street or right a way at ground level. Trains in D.C. operate at faster speeds than NYC, Chi, or Philly so I guesd we are faster paced huh? Lol.
This is a dumb***** childish argument with a lot of bias coming from everywhere. But real is real Chicago, Philly, Boston, and San Fran ARE NOT faster paced than D.C. they are either the same paced or slower. I think people like to bash D.C. because it's different. I've been to the Chi and half the city is slowwwwwwww like Mississippi (southside Chiraq).
