Anybody know why Arlington is a part of Virginia? I mean wasn’t it a part of Dc until the civil war? Why wasn’t it reclaimed by DC after the civil war? Was it to punish Arlington?

If so this seems strange…even in DC most people (man on the street) supported the confederacy

And how was it punishing VA to let them keep Arlington and Alexandria?

Suck on these stats Columbia MD
 “Niche, a platform for community and school ratings, released its 2022 Best Places to Live rankings this week, and Arlington and its neighborhoods ranked high on the lists. This year, Arlington County ranked No. 3 in Best Cities to Raise a Family in America, No. 4 in Best Cities to Live in America, and No. 5 for Best Cities for Young Professionals in America.”

you're going to base your defence on  “Niche, a platform for community and school ratings"?  easy with them big guns...

I don’t want to get all Julians America on you but I could never reside in a place called Scaggsville or Mechanicsville

[sweetcell]

how about "Beltsville"?

worse name ever IMHO...

[kosmo vinyl]

Heads over to Wikipedia to edit Beltsville entry to indicate it was named after Ned Belt

Edit… no need it was named after the esteemed Truman Belt, whose good name shall not be besmirched!!!!

I'd add Dumfries to that list

Scaggsville is cooler

Some residents have advocated changing the name of Scaggsville to Rocky Gorge, since the community borders the Rocky Gorge Reservoir. Efforts to change the name, however, have been unsuccessfu

[grateful]

I'd nominate Crapo Maryland as the worst place to live.
