"crash is a wonderful person, really great. He gives me all the inside info. More than most people would like to know, like the invasion instructions for the UN that are written on the back of speed limit signs. Very bad. We're taking care of that tomorrow. Ohio State will pay for it."
Wiz though, is just terrible. Can't spell, knows none of my great words. Always constipated. Very sad. "

I love D.C. From a touristy standpoint. The memorials (STATUES!), Arlington, the Smithsonians, some decent restaurants, moderate weather, the Kennedy Center.

Thumbs up for spring and cultural offerings, big giant thumbs down for the food and for the other 48 weeks of the year. But, man, the museums go a long way to making it work, especially with young kids. And I can pop in the National Gallery and do a quick lifting of the spirits anytime. And it's great to be, for a while, on the Eastern Seaboard. Baltimore is wonderful and Philly has some very nice big-city value to it as well. On any given winter weekend there are 4-6 choices for small-school college-basketball games under 2 hours away and for which my kid and I can get in for under $20. I can definitely deal with it for now.

What do you like here?
It's allright. It has plenty to get you through. People like to talk as if it's a good food city though, and that pisses me off. Most stuff is mediocre. Ann Arbor has a greater number of quality places. That 14th Street strip, which should be good, is mostly mediocrity. If you want ethnic it potentially can be there -- certainly not Mexican -- but mostly in strip malls in the suburbs. You can't go downtown and have a stroll down 14th after a nice meal, unless you want mediocrity. I think in large part there's no room for smaller-scale stuff. Rent is too high for that. We do better finding interesting places in Baltimore.

There's a place in Baltimore that's basically a Sardinian mama cooking upstairs, and her sons serving downstairs to sidewalk tables. Prosciutto/spinach lasagna is greatest thing ever. Mushroom lasaqna is second-greatest. No liquor licence or corking fee. People bring coolers with beer, or go across to the liquor store for some wine. Panacotta dessert is OMG. They adore children. Can while away a whole summer evening like this.
DC just won't have stuff like that. No ethnic neighborhoods for them to have landed in years ago; too expensive now.
