I was also at the Decathlon that same weekend, as well as this past. Really enjoyed looking at all the houses this last weekend. I love DC and the Metro. I have been driving there for the past 3 weekends, along with countless times over the summer for concerts. I stay in Old Town Alexandria with friends and take the Metro into the city, a 15-minute walk from their house. The Friday before you were at the Decathlon, I took the Yellow Line to Chinatown, got out and took the H-Street free shuttle to the Rock N Roll Hotel for a show. Amazing transit everywhere you turn. Took a bus later that night to get back to the Metro station. More DC and Metro Thursday evening after work. Then, in January, I start a 4 month position in Bethesda, where I will be commuting from Alexandria. I cannot begin to explain how excited I am to be living in this awesome region. Great read.

do u think if Mcdonnell an others win that it will set things back in GA since there will be a bigger Rep presence? (honest question, not trying to take sides)
