Actually by run I mean run 3 miles down M, do 6 miles up Wisconsin and back down Foxhall and then 3 miles back. Way to anonymously attack someone on a blog… cool guy

A lot of hostility on this thread, guys — it’s just a pretzel stand.

By “run”, I assume you mean the Circulator.

You would live in Georgetown if you could afford to live there even without Metro. You can’t really compare Georgetown with Penn Quarter… 2 different worlds and incredible obbvious especially when you run from one to another.

I think Linda drank too many mocha lattes (from an independent coffee house, of course).

People in Penn Quarter can try to come across like they aren’t pretentious but po-lease. You (we) aren’t living here because we like life in H St. NE or Columbia Heights. We are living here because we make more money, like nicer things, and expect nicer things in our neighborhood. So yes, Linda, I’ll admit for you that I would prefer a Georgetown-ish boutique any day over a pretzel shop. And yes, if Georgetown had a METRO stop, I (along with many other PQ’ers) would be living there instead.

Linda, please remove your blinders. If you took away the franchise eateries in Penn Quarter, it would be a commercial ghost town.

Anonymous 11:21. What on earth are you talking about? Who here has made any suggestion even remotely like that?

I don’t see people on this blog talking about themselves or our neighborhood in a way that sounds like we think we’re better than anyone else or too “sophisticated” or “cool” for the businesses moving in here. I don’t think it makes you a snob to say that you’d like to see your neighborhood have something a little more interesting than franchise eateries.

Lighten up and take the chip off your shoulder. I don’t think the people commenting here are the jerks you seem to suggest they are. You, on the other hand…

Oh no, you mean Auntie Annies isn’t cool enough for the sophisticated Penn Quarter consumer. If only one of the kiosks would open to sell overpriced small plates, “street food” from a third world country that is nothing like the street food sold in such place, $15 cocktails that cost $2 to make, water infused with exotic herbs from Antarctica or ozone-friendly cleaning supplies laden with HCFCs.
