love the $5 Nats tix though. A great deal for any Braves fan.
I loved going with cheap tickets. But by God, if they made the playoffs, all of DC would show up. Every other game...50% empty.
Hockey had a strange loyal following. Those tickets were always high as giraffe poon.

They were the only good sports team in the area during the 90s. The Bullets went through a name change, and were awful. And the Redskins were even worse.
There were also a lot of northern transplants the area who liked hockey.

To be fair it’s a well-earned reputation.

I’d rather live in Louisiana, than any of the old Union States.
Their attitudes are really just snobbery, and a dislike of anything that doesn’t look like them and talk like they do.
You can talk about the poverty and dysfunction, sure, but I still think Louisiana is a better place to live than those northern states.

Simply going out to a bar with a date can be surprisingly more expensive than if you were anywhere in the Deep South.

Flint Hill School in Oakton.
When I was there in the 90s the school had just opened, there were an all boys and all girls schools in Alexandria, St. Stephens and St. Agnes and a bunch of the parents wanted to create a coed school and did so combining w/ Flint Hill Prep which was in Falls Church.
The Flint Hill Prep was a basketball powerhouse. Dennis Scott, Randolph Childress, George Scott to name a few. Won a national championship. The coach never coached at my school, he went on to a school in MD, Harker Prep. They had a bunch of big time players too.
The school I went to since moved locations, but is still in Oakton.
I only remember it’s “re” in Centreville b/c my HS girlfriend lived there, a cookie cutter development right passed the high school up on the right.

I would be a tourist for a year. Live in an apartment in close to museum district and take it all in. Then move out to the suburbs when starting to have kids.

Went there about 10 years ago to visit some friends. EVERY SINGLE damn person I met hit me with the "who are you, where are you from, what do you do, and who do who you work for" I should've just carried my resume around, it would have saved me a lot of talking. Luckily for me they found very little to talk to me about once they found out I was a broke dude from the south and I wasn't an aspiring politician.

As someone who is from there and now lives in Louisiana this is true. Their mind will be blown that you can even form complete sentences. Seriously. Let them know you know how to use Microsoft office and they’ll think you were king down here
