Audioslave?

[JGatz]

Does anyone know why DC was passed up on their upcoming tour?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Because people in DC have good taste and don't want any part of that band.

When are you leaving this wretched city?

[Henry Dark]

Sometime after May, 2004. Or maybe never. Though a move out to the country or burbs seems imminent once a kid is in the picture.

[jadetree]

Don't you want a city kid so they can have their eyebrows done by a transvestite and won't think that the 9:30 club is in the slums?

[Henry Dark]

I would not encourage my kid to alter her/his eyebrows, nor would I allow them to attend shows at an adult nightclub.<P>   We could come into the city on select weekends to check out the cultural scene.

[jadetree]

Well lets not start the kids at the 9:30 discussion again.<P>But I think that a kid can get a lot out of living in a city, but I guess you can also say city kids miss out on a lot.  It would seem like cities lose when they become somewhere to visit and not to live, but I think the poor residents of a city who have always lived there are the ones who inevitably lose.

[jadetree]

I wasn't  saying everyone should live in the city, I was really just wondering aloud what is gained/loss by growing up in a rural/urban/suburban location.  It seems conventional thought is the burbs or rural are the best, and I am not sure that is correct.

[Henry Dark]

The city is a great place to live if your parents can affrod to send you to private school or can win some kind of lottery to get you into a good public school!

[jadetree]

If more of the families that move to the suburbs stayed in the city the schools would be better, but they won't stay in the city until the schools are better.

Man, Markie probably can't wait to read all of this.  Let me help this along....<P>Adams Morgan is an unsafe area.
