I hope it's because of a lucrative job offer

2 Actually I have just saved money over the past year.  No job yet.  I have an interview up there Thursday morning, though.  

3 During the early 80's I worked for a mission group that had the last residential house on the hill. still remember the address 133 c street.
DC, Orlando, and Mexico City are the worst places that I have ever driven in.

4 heh I just typed that address into GE and the house is gone and the neighborhood is quite different. I guess it is 28 years later.

5 My landlord actually lives a few houses down from that address.  It looked really nice when I got the keys.  My neighborhood is in transition.  It was bad a few years ago, but it's on the rebound now that the stadium is in. 

6 I grew up in the DC suburbs and can tell you driving in DC is easy- just remember the city is divided into quadrants bisected north south east west and that this is overlayed by streets in concentric circles (as well as a standard grid of streets) that radiate outwards from the Capitol Bldg  now here is the tricky part some of the streets are one way and here's another thing to remember- streets that have names start with one letter til they get to the end of the alphabet then 2 syllables then three depending on how far from the Capitol Bldg they are (A Street, then Arthur, then Albemarle, etc) - now remember NE SE NW and SW are the quadrants and the one way streets and the streets that are closed for security reasons and for personal safety it is best to remain in the NW quadrant do not go south of The Mall do not go east of 14th St NW do not make eye contact with locals good luck!

7 I can't stress this enough: if you look up at a DC street sign and it ends in anything other than "NW" and it's getting dark, CALL A TAXI AND GTF OUT

8 haha.  i know to stay out of SE, i'll be living in SW.  

9 Oh good god! I just looked at the streets in DC. That is some fucked up shit.

Good luck finding your way around. Chicago is easy, just your standard grid pattern, very few streets that aren't N/S or E/W.

10 Yeah, I'm not bringing a car, though.  There's a metro station at the end of my block, and you don't really need a car if you live in the District. 

11 You know, I still have the Metro lines memorized from when the Bastard Ex spent a few summers working on the Hill and I was down there nearly every weekend.  I love the Metro.

12 I forgot the funnest part: where e/w and n/s streets intersect with the streets that radiate out from Capitol like spokes, that intersection is sometimes  a traffic circle

13

No car? Good idea IVD. Driving in the greater DC metropolitan area is a prescription for high blood pressure and worse.

The operative words are "stupid" and "inconsiderate".

14 You need to email me and we'll get together to hunt hobos.
