Review of Washington, District of Columbia


Great Place to Live, Work & Play
Star Rating - 11/10/2009
As a native Washingtonian, it is sometimes easy to take for granted the special qualities of this metro area. The political, cultural, and historical attractions are most obvious, but until you travel and live in other areas of the country (as I have) you do not appreciate the way that southern charm, big city sophistication, and hard-edged global politics have combined to create such a dynamic, challenging, yet laid-back environment. And because of these qualities, the city has attracted - an continues to attract - peoples from all over the world to create a very diverse cultural environment, adding to the richness of what I consider to be one of the very best places to live in the country.
