The fuck you talking about? We have rams head, we have the Verizon center pretty damn closs, we have the big AMC 21 I think it was.
Also we have the jumps if you do alot of dirt biking

[elpolloloco]

Prince William? Verizon Center? What?

Oh you mean that place that's in the MIDDLE of dc, a 10 minute metro ride from silver spring and a 23536364 hour car ride from Prince William? :P

Where the heck is the closest Rams Head to Prince William? The two I know of are in a different state, Maryland.

I'll give you one thing, though. If you're into outdoor stuff, then Prince William probably has better places for things like dirtbiking, kyacking

My fav part of silver spring is the AFI. All summer long, 80's movies on the most amazing theater, a place that lets you buy wine and beer inside... GOOD beer.



They just finished the Filmore right across the street too. I wanted to see Bush there the other day but I was too friggin' tired. They got some metal bands coming up in the next couple of months too.

DC isnt far though.
Half an hour, who the fuck cares?
Parking in DC on the other hand, but we can just stop at Springfield

[elpolloloco]

Yea. There's a place in Springfield called JAXX, though, I was talking about. Check it out. Some big bands come though there.

Sorry. Trying not to knock too much on Prince William/Woodbridge (I lived there for 3 month). I just hear a lot of people talk crap about Silver Spring when there is so much to do here.

Tons of culture, some of the best food from every corner of the world, big music venues, one of the best theaters of the world, tons of bars. The best bars here are dives (See Quary House). If you can't have fun here, then you have problems :P

Sure you have a lame little soccer-mom style city walk with whiney emo kids running around, but *ALL* the cities in the DC area have that kinda shit. If you like live music, are a film or food buff, this is a great place to be. You don't even need a car to get around, even if you want to hit up places in DC.

I don't see what problem people have with DC either. People are a little uptight but that's any city. DC has probably more culture than any other city all closely packed together. You can walk about 2 blocks and pass about 20 bars all with different themes and restaurants with food from half the countries on the planet. TONS of great music. If you like Jazz, we've got it. If you like Rock, Hip Hop, Metal, etc, the 930 club is always rated the #1 venue by all the critics. The Black Cat is great too. We have probably the best public transit of any city I've been in that rivals NYC and is a FAR cry cleaner than new york. The museums are are great. If you're into history you CAN'T beat the Smithsonian museums, and you don't have to pay or wait in line for HOURS like you do in NYC. Want to see Picassos? DaVincis? Pollocks? Warhols? We got 'em.

yea. I'm in white oak. The tiny little strip mall by my place has Peruvian, Salvadorian, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Carribean, and some other stuff. All within walking distance.

It's food heaven.

Wooo! Outlet mall! The pinnacle of all societies

dude that Caribbean restaurant is the shit! :P

[StarsMine]

Now I feel like we should all meet each other over winter break or something XD

[elpolloloco]

dude that Caribbean restaurant is the shit! :P

That's like the one spot I've never been to

I like the hispanic place there, Pansa Llena. They're salvadorians I think but boast "peruvian chicken" which is pretty good there. They finally built themselves a nice little bar in there.

Dude, did you know there's a bowling alley in there too? It's duck pin I believe. It's a tiny entrance that you don't even notice. You walk down some stairs and its there, below everything.

We should all meet up at a show at 930/filmore/black cat or something

If you're into electronic music (Dubstep, house, etc) then U STREET MUSIC HALL is the place to be now. It's nothing like the old days of BUZZ but it's a pretty good size, not hard to get a drink, and they get some great music in there: www.ustreetmusichall.com

DC is too expensive. Uptight is saying it lightly, I've never seen so many uptight pricks packed in one city. I've seen just as much "culture" around Baltimore.

The museums are fucking win. Free zoo is well... free... besides parking (at least they have parking for you).
Public transit is great, then again, I am from Baltimore which makes it not seem much of an improvement to me.

AFI is win.

Was about to say some shit about PWC, then remembered I was thinking of PGC.

30 mins... what you smoking.. it takes 15-45 alone just to get out of DC depending on traffic.

Today I sat 4 hours alone in traffic going from DC to Sterling to Baltimore... Shit gets old fast. Alternate routes don't really help much more, that shit backs up just as good.

[StarsMine]

Take HOV during non rush hour, Fuck yea
And then go FUCK NOOOOOOO at the mixing bowl. 2 lanes left and 1 lane right and why the fuck am I going south again?

[elpolloloco]

DC is too expensive.

Can't argue with you there. But there are much higher paying jobs here to make up for it

Uptight is saying it lightly,

I'd put it about average on the up-tight o meter. Uptight compared to Philly and Bmore? Yes? ABout as on par as NEW YORK. *NOTHING* Compared to LA or San Fran. Whew. Talk about up right.

I've seen just as much "culture" around Baltimore.

I''d argue with you there again. I'm talking diversity in music, language, the arts, food, etc. I';d say DC wins, but I can't argue with Bmore having culture. Bmore has some uptight pricks as well. DC has the "OMG I work for the government I made so much money" uptight pricks. But if you're talking blatant stereotypical HIPSTER uptight like "OMG you're such a sell out because more than 5 people bought your CD and you're so mainstream because you don't dumpster dive for your clothes and you don't have a porn star mustache" upright, Baltimore takes the cake You know what I'm talkin' bout.

AFI is win.

The Charles is nice, but yea, nothing beats the AFI Silver

30 mins... what you smoking.. it takes 15-45 alone just to get out of DC depending on traffic.

Amen to that., as far as living in Price William. But Silver spring, you just hop on the metro and you're at Chinatown in 10 minutes.

I lived in Woodlawn for a while earlier last decade. Balimore never had much traffic. Then I moved to LA for three years and came back to the area in 2006 and HOLY SHIT. WHERE THE HELL did all the traffic in Baltimore come from?

Silver Spring is great. But if you're going to knock it then you have to totally knock Towson. Silver Spring is to DC as Towson is to Baltimore. Rich suburb on the edge of the city with spoiled kids that have to find some sort of subculture to make them feel "special" because they don't know how to just be individuals. In SS it's the emo's and kanye wannabes. In Towson, it's the impostifarians. You know it. You see those 16 year old kids rolling up to the Recher with their overnight dreadlocks they just made with some beezwax the day before and their corduroy jeans :P The only reason those kids go see bands like the Jazz Mandolin Project or the Kelly Bell band there is because they know its where to find the DANK!
