Washington has a unique quality of life

1/1/2010
I've lived in Washington for many years and have loved it for the variety of its cultures; its beauty; the fact that there are parts of the city that that will never change; the fact that there's so much to do here that's free; and the fact that the area attracts a variety of people of diverse origins, interests, and outlooks. The climate is cold in winter and hot in summer, but not as much as some areas (we're known for our summer humidity and it's the truth, unfortunately); traffic is pretty awful (we're ranked in the top-five for gridlock); and the cost of living is fairly high. On the other hand, the recession hasn't decimated us as it has some other areas, and the employment picture isn't as grim.
No matter what your persuasion you can find like-minded souls here; and, hopefully, happiness (inasmuch as any place can convey that quality).
