Someone had this to say about D.C.
"I lived in Dallas until the early 90's, then escaped to DC. Dallas was nothing but freeways, ranch style houses that all pretty much looked the same, a 7-11 on every street corner, and billboards EVERWHERE. Talk about a city with no soul. Make it a desert and call it Phoenix. Make it sprawl even more and call it L.A., make it greener and call it Atlanta. American cities have very lilttle character with a few exceptions. I can take visitors from out of town on a tour of Dupont, Logan Circle, Georgetown, Shaw, etc. and they are astounded at the quality of architecture, the vibrancy of the street scene. I found Dallas to be soul crushing. The city is beautiful and only getting better. You should have seen in in 92. I still loved it over Dallas - now it's a whole new game."
