I think I agree with Billiam. I LOVE LOVE Quebec. It's such a cool place to visit, but for day to day life it's a bit too small for my taste. I'd prefer to live in Montreal
Visit? QC
Live? DC
Great pics, JMT!
Montreal vs. DC would be a great poll Though!! Id have to go with Montreal on that one! Montreal's almost too god to be true

oh yea, and i agree, great photos!
I agree, Montreal vs. DC would be a better comparison. And again, even though I love DC it's hard to beat Montreal!
Looking at those pics of Quebec on Google Images just made me almost depressed! You guys who live up in the NE are within a fairly easy drive (or train ride) to Montreal and Quebec. If I lived that close to Montreal I'd be there all the frickin' time. Don't get me wrong, I really like our big American cities in the NE (I almost moved to Baltimore a couple of years ago). But Montreal is just incredible, and Quebec city is like being back in France except the people are friendly and they put ice in their drinks.
Yea, so you show some historical sites in some secure area of DC, now what about the rest of the city?
DC reminds me of Agra, the Taj Mahal is the clean area and the rest of the place is like a landfill.
i said i would show the touristy sites. Now, Mr. Rude, i could just ignore your or you could stop insulting the city and being completely rude about it and let me show you it. your choice
The Marion Berry Murder Capital image of D.C. is getting pretty outdated. SE is pretty bad, but I went there all the time throughout the 80s and 90s (grew up in Richmond) and it's not the decaying ghetto everyone seems to think it is. Baltimore is much worse (even though I love Baltimore too).
I'd still go with Montreal (if it was a choice) even though I haven't been there yet. Going in the spring, it's a 9.5 hour drive from where I live now.

Its not outdated, I did some time at Georgetown and had the whole DC experience, the stats still show DC as one of the worst cities in the US, crime wise.

That's why stats are so meaningless in the real world. The crime is mostly confined to a few relatively small areas. It certainly wasn't in Georgetown. I've been all over D.C., day and night. It's hardly one big ghetto.
I seriously think that on these Citydata boards, Washington DC has the least amount of homer posters out of the large metros that rush to defend it when others bash the city.
If someone was bashing any other cities, this thread would be filled with people saying how great their city is.
When I see posts like k350's, I usually just go "meh" whatever.
I think it's nice, but what you think is your opinion.
In regards to the poll, Quebec city is nice to go as a tourist, but I don't think I could ever live there. So I agree with the others.
Quebec City to visit.
Washington DC to live.
