Regarding Vienna (#3 on Money Magazines Grat American Towns):
"It's a safe town and a good place to have an all-ages club, as opposed to a back alley in DC," said Daniel Brindley, owner of Jammin Java.
BUT WAIT ONE MINUTE! I THOUGHT I READ ON THE 9:30 CHAT BOARD THAT THE DC CLUBS WERE IN SAFE NEIGHBORHOODS!

Haha...I did not go to Vienna's award winning highschool...so that is probably why I didn't read the entire post before I just assumed you were making a spelling error. Oh well.
But seriously, Vienna is a cool place...if you have a couple kids and a mini van. Good schools, great recreational sports programs for kids (soccer, lacrosse, football), the W&OD trail runs through it, its close to a big city, and there is decent public transportation. When I was in highschool I didn't have a car, but I could ride my bike to the Metro if I wanted to go into the District or just jump on the Metro bus that stopped at the bottom of my street to go anywhere else. I enjoyed growing up there.
As a 26 year old, I don't see it as the most hip and happening place (my parents, btw, love Jammin Java and the fact that they can walk there to see shows)...but if I had a family (and could afford a house there), I wouldn't mind raising my kids in Vienna.

Yuppified strip malls and there is NO comparison between JamminJ and the 930. Dan is flattering himself.
I heard some Viennesians talking in line there last week, and they are sooooooo proud of their new status. They have a HORRIBLE traffic problem: No ethnic influences or neighborhoods (NO Anita's DOES NOT COUNT), no moderately priced housing, a private police force that uses EXCESSIVELY intrusive techniques to maintain "law and order", and easy access by Metro primarily for their latino housekeepers to get to work at their homes since EVERYONE I know who lives there DRIVES everywhere.
Bite me, Vienna. You're white bread America without ANY color or flavor. "Your" community is the LAST place I'd live in the metro area. I'd rather dodge bullets than die of boredom. Who answers those "polls" anyway? Turn polling on here, Kosmo. Let's get to the truth!

Just because some place lacks ethnic diversity doesn't make it boring. For example, most of Europe, the Caribbean, the Pacific Northwest, Canada, Australia, etc. all lack ethnic diversity but seem like cool places.

That's funny: Parts of Toronto seemed like New Delhi to me - London has a huge ethnic population; France also. I've never been to Australia, but I'll agree with you that perhaps New Zealand is pretty white bread since NO ONE gets to live there without a relative/sponsorship by a resident. I personally find ethnic influences make a city/town more interesting...but hey, I didn't vote for G. Bush either.... :roll:

Hmm..growing in Vienna my family shared many family celebrations with our neighbors, an Iraqi family, our next door neighbors were vietnamese, at school and on the soccer fields my brother and I made friends with Filipino, Iranian, Indian, and Russian kids...damn my white bread, sheltered childhood...i should've grown up in a cornfield
Vienna isn't perfect...I don't think I would've put it up there at #4, and I'll be the first to agree that the traffic sucks...but making big blanket statements about a town that you've apparantly only seen from its main thoroughfare sucks too

I happened to find Spain a pretty boring country a few years ago. Now you can go to a small town in the Pyrenees and find lots of ecuadorians, bolivians, peruvians... much more interesting, I tell you, seriously.
I guess for Caribbean you consider the islands, but not Central America.

So are the parts of Toronto which are not New Dehli (quite a few parts based on my visit last August) thus the boring parts of Toronto?

Toronto has plenty of diversity, just because there isnt a representative from every country on earth on every block (like in DC) doesnt mean its not diversified. but its not like Lincoln Nebraska or anything! in fact, in my high school, there was no race/ethnicity that had 50% of the population or more. i imagine a lot of people on here couldnt say that.
and Rhett said "Canada" not Toronto, the rest of Canada is FAR less diverse than DC or even NOVA.
but thats cause we dont give every 2-bit terrorist on earth a visa and the keys to a 7-11...

totally!
except i'm half irish and half italian
half kidding about the philly thing. i had a couple of bad experiences there, and it kinda smells, but i'm sure its a fun town. there's the whole western vs. eastern pa thing, so i try to get one over on philly every chance i can

Are you freekin' nuts: You think this is the balance for the US?
"Truth according to the 2000 Census.
80% white
10% asian
7% hispanic
3% black"
I rest my case. And, if you think half those restaurants you listed serve authentic cuisines, you need to get a passport and travel more.

http://www.cdc.gov/omh/Populations/populations.html (http://www.cdc.gov/omh/Populations/populations.html)
"The United States has become increasingly diverse in the last century. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, approximately 30 percent of the population currently belongs to a racial or ethnic minority group"
So 20% isn't that far off....
-
So where in the Greater DC area can I go to get "authentic" food? Very little of the ethnic foods in America are authentic. They are designed to appeal to the American palate.

Five miles away, a different story:
RACIAL/ETHNIC COMPOSITION
Arlington County takes pride in, and gains vitality from, the diversity of its population. According to the 2005 population estimates, 57.3 percent of Arlington residents are white, 20.8 percent are Hispanic, 9.1Â percent are black or African-American, 9.6Â percent are Asian or Other Pacific Islanders, 0.2 percent are American Indian, and 3.0 percent identified as another race or two or more races."
-
not that chili dogs are 'ethnic' but vienna inn has the best cheap food that will kill you
-
"So where in the Greater DC area can I go to get "authentic" food? Very little of the ethnic foods in America are authentic. They are designed to appeal to the American palate."
In neighborhoods - often referred to as ethnic neighborhoods - where the demand for authenticity is high. Not where they cater to an 80% white American demographic. A tiny taste of Anita's salsa will confirm this. Of course, you may pay extra for dog, cat, frog, weird fungi or sea slugs..cause you look like you have an American Express ebony card....hahahaha.

like dc's little italy?
one of the few good italian restraunts i've been to in the dc area is in vienna. the name escapes me, though

Mmmm...authentic third world fare...where they feed you a bowl of rice and bacteria filled water...no thanks.
So you been to school for a year or two
And you know you've seen it all
In daddy's car thinkin' you'll go far
Back east your type don't crawl
Play ethnicky jazz to parade your snazz
On your five grand stereo
Braggin that you know how the niggers feel cold
And the slums got so much soul
It's time to taste what you most fear
Right Guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear
It's a holiday in Cambodia
It's tough kid, but it's life
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Don't forget to pack a wife
Your a star-belly sneech you suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch so you can get rich
But your boss gets richer on you
Well you'll work harder with a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers til you starve
Then your head skewered on a stake
Now you can go where people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need my son:
Is a holiday in Cambodia
Where people dress in black
A holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll kiss ass or crack
Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot

The simple fact is this......if you're saying that Fairfax County is not "ethnically diverse" or not as "diverse" as you would personally like it to be,then you have your head planted firmly up your ass and have no idea of the reality of the situation....have a pleasant day.....
-
The racial makeup of Fairfax County is 69.91% White, 8.57% Black or African American, 0.26% Native American, 13.00% Asian, 0.07% Pacific Islander, 4.54% from other races, and 3.65% from two or more races. 11.03% of the population are Hispanic or Latino of any race.

...altho it is certainly difficult typing in the position where my head is up my ass, at least my ass isn't totally clueless.
Vienna does NOT reflect the racial/ethnic mix of the county, Fairfax, where it is located - the point of this thread. In fact, it is an independently incorporated city - and has been for 100 years, and thus is self-governing. It has its own government/municipal center, elected officials, police department...etc.
Live where you want. Hold your own opinions. Put your head up any ass you choose, including your own. I personally choose NOT to live in Vienna because I find it annoyingly - if not frighteningly - close to becoming like the "gated communities" of ethnicly pasturized people - complete with THEIR own private "security police" - who live in MY neighborhood. Don't you wonder who the gates are keeping out (or in???). Have a nice day.

Yeah, I spent some time there. Not for me. Although, easy on the town, sheesh. The town may not be extremely ethinically diverse, but I don't think it's exactly as extreme as "ethnically pasteurized". At least no more than any other suburb or gated community in VA. It's been the way it has been for years.
-
You choose to live in Arlington. Home of Crate and Barrel, Pottery Barn, and Cheesecake Factory. And no affordable single family homes.
And if there weren't criminals roaming the streets, there wouldn't be gated communities.

This is bound to change. The Hispanic and Black people will mostly have 5-6 kids by the time they are 30, and the overeducated white people will wait until they are 40 to have 1.2 kids, and in many cases, none at all. At least that's what Reggie White told me.

Nope, I don't live in Arlington.
Gated communities are popping up all over the McLean/Great Falls area. One that made me laugh the most: About 1 l/2 mile outside the beltway on Georgetown Pike on the right called something like "Georgetown Falls..." Bands of roving criminals? Maybe bands of roving deer and racoons...At Tyson's the Rotunda complex of condos is locked down tighter than the Pentagon...try getting in there even when you're "cleared" by a resident...and we thought "elitist pricks" were exclusive to the 930 forum. :p
It might be worth pointing out that not ONE of our families "came" from here. Recent digs in the midwest found artifacts from earliest Indian settlements startlingly similar to objects: art, carvings, tools - found in Mexico, Central and South America...maybe the 'ole American Indians aren't so "USA American" either...
