This should settle every side debate on this thread.
If you think Bethesda is urban, we're not even playing the same sport.
By Northeast and Chicago standards (since it got brought into this mix), Bethesda isn't urban. At all. It has a population density of 4,200. It is a walkable suburb with proper commercial coverage. But it's 100% suburban.
FYI- Northern Brookline, MA has a population density of 20,000. That is urban.
Reread what I posted. I said Bethesda is urban for a suburb. So is Old Town.
True. Also those are some popular Chicken places! As you mentioned, Chick-fil-a started out as a local southern chain, but the Columbia Mall had a Chick-fil-a for as long as I can remember (definitely in the early 90s when I was young).
I think I first tried Bojangles and Church's Chicken when I went to North Carolina sometime in the early 2000's when I was in college, and I remember it being amazing. I believe that due to their popularity, they have branched out throughout the US (although probably not to the extent of Chick-fil-a).
I didn't know that about Columbia. Before maybe 15 years ago, I've never heard of chick fil a. The first, and only Church's Chicken that I've ever been to was in Philly.
Many of more modest inner suburbs are streetcar suburbs turned independent cities are very urban without much modernity. But thats changing. They usually see more modern development and less preservation than upscale locales like Brookline or Newton.
