Northern Virginia, easily. I loved Prince William County, and Loundoun County.

How about an update to this thread? Its been over 2 years and we all know NoVa has had a lot happened to it! But then again, so has DC. What do you think about H Street corridor? Needs a lot of work? Or is coming along just like it should? How about 14th st in DC? Its all new development from P st and up. Where is the new hot spot in NoVa? Is it Clarendon? Lets see some posts! =)

Old Town reminds me more of Baltimore (Fells Point and Canton) then it does anywhere in DC.

Nova to DC: we're the "real" reason all those tourists wanna come to the region.
Southeast DC to everyone: hello fresh meat. >;- )

NoVA is nothing but texas type sprawl outside a few urban areas near DC. Yuck.

I'd rather live in NoVA and work in DC. May be because I'm used to the way of living in the Maryland DC 'burbs, but I find that it's a lot cleaner and not quite as rushed, though still fast paced enough to not be overly annoyingly slow.

I've stopped spending so much time in Washington. It was cool the first four months I lived in this area before it became colder to be out and before I saw majority of the things to see and day but day by day, I find myself really out of touch with this "go go" stuff and all that.

I'm increasingly spending more time in Bethesda and here in NoVA. As a matter of fact, leaving in 5 minutes to get to Behesda for tonight. Some E, tranced out, and a few friends, I just prefer the suburbs more in the DMV. Don't take it the wrong way but this Go-Go stuff and all these nightlife areas and whatever being run by this stuff just gets on my nerves.

I like Go Go but hey to each their own I suppose. And besides, that's not the only music option that goes on in the City's nightlife, plus it's not like its "invading" every single joint in Adams Morgan or Georgetown or Chinatown or wherever. Just sayin'.

OH, AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW MOD-STATUS!!!

they barely even have go-go venues in DC anymore and no regular club/lounge plays go-go so i dont get how u can be annoyed by it
