TAN #64 - A Case of Temporary InTANity (Page 10)

really?  didn't you have a hacksaw?

Oh, DuPont is cool. But it's probably the only place I'd live in, except maybe Tenleytown, up by American University, near the MD border, but it's mostly students out that way, and really expensive houses. I have friends who live elsewhere and I've always been REALLY sketched out going to their houses at night. One of them, within a few months of living there, had their car stolen right out from in front of their condo. The police actually found the car a few months later, but everything of value in the car was gone, obviously. I don't know - I wouldn't feel safe in most parts of the city. You're a guy, so it might be different.

Arlington is cool, though and there are definitely many young professionals who live out here in NoVA.

I just lived in a country where everything was pirated and cheap, and came out before its release in the U.S.

Kewl. DC is pretty fun. And less cold than Chicago.

I bought some pirated DVD's in Manila.  I figured, for $1 each, for movies that were still in theaters, how bad could it be?

Turns out, some of them were when someone took a hand held camera to the back of the theater, and just shot it, and put it on DVD.  It was SO bad, it was funny.

mr2tony - 2009-01-13 3:27 PM I dont mind living in the gay areas of town. Gay people are fun.

so why are you asking all these questions about moving to the commonwealth???  new job?

No. Same job.

Just throwing ideas around for now. My Europe job was filled. By someone else.

The wife and I talked about taking a job in Lybia.  No joke.  It's sick money, and I actually have a lead.

Another friend is working in DuBai.  I need to see how he worked that out.

Dupont (I lived there), West End, Georgetown, Foggy Bottom, Woodley Park, Cleveland Park, Adams Morgan, Tenleytown, pretty much all of Northwest .. Arlington/NOVA stinks

You're a character.

We just opened an office in Dubai. Could you even imagine?

I have a feeling that the cost of living is off the charts though.  Like Monaco.

G-Town isn't bad, but too many college kids. Same with Foggy Bottom. Adams Morgan is college-y at night and also kinda sketch. If you stay close to the Red Line in Northwest, you are pretty good, but the farther you get from the metro, the worse it gets.

Northeast and Southeast are a no-go - like I said, I have friends who live there, but I don't like going there, at all. Southwest doesn't really exist - it's Arlington County.

I really liked G-town too when I visited.  I sort of like the college towns/areas.  Boulder Colorado is one of my favorite places.

Besides, Mork and Mindy lived there.  How great is that?

G-town is nice, and college towns are fun to visit, but I don't know if as an adult, I'd want to live within a stone's throw of a bunch of drunken frat boys. Plus, I'm not sure what's in G-town that's really affordable. The row houses are off the charts and the rest of it is prime river-front property which is way pricey. If you went in towards Farragut West, it might not be too bad and that's a nice area, actually. I worked there for a little while.

I'll ask tomorrow. Actually, the editor in London said they need reporters in the Middle East. But I was thinking Cairo and Riyadh, not Dubai. I wonder ...

I'll look into it with my friends.

We could both go, and be friends, and have bunk beds.

Construction and development in Dubai is crazy right now, I guess. We're trying to bust into that market as well.

Not sure what Boulder you are thinking of.  You have to be pretty rich to live there.  But I'm sure every town has some funky sides.

whatever... I bet you're just going to sit and lurk.  I heard you like to watch.
