I have been here almost a year, and I have STILL not done the tourist thing. I still have not hit all the clubs. The down side: people drive crazy and the parking sucks. Also, people are SO pretentious here. Home of playing Black Geography and passing business cards: what do you do? who do you know? where did you go to school? did you pledge? blah blah blah. Being from the midwest (Cleveland), I am not used to this senseless chatter. I went to a party last weekend in Cincinnati and had such a good time; when we left we realized that we didn't know what ANY of the people there did for a living. It was SO refreshing.

I'll have to co-sign with you Ideal08. I've been in DC for almost 5 years it is very pretentious. But the one thing I will say about Chocolate City is that, what ever it is your into, you can find it in DC. Every culture and ethnicity has their own special piece of DC and it's surrounding areas.
