The Official-ish DC Thread

Wifey has gotten past being weirded out “you are meeting guys at a bar who you met online talking clothes?”

Frankly she mostly just wants me out of the house.

Tell me you have no friends without telling me you have no friends.

That's why we're all fambly here.

Edit- the people I've texted the most outside of my gf are @beargonefishing @edinatlanta and @Omega Male. I don't even text my real friends as much as I text them.

Not on my Rome bingo card.

Yeah I experienced this in my first jobs. All transplants, mostly insufferable. And this was true in normal office jobs, too, not just things related to politics and policy which by their nature draw people to DC.

For me, the tell is seeing Nationals gear. They didn’t exist until 2005 so locals were either Orioles fans or fans of some team they had a family connection to. Transplants have their cars and office spaces slathered with thr stuff lol.

I only moved back to DC because the nats came to town, otherwise I would have stayed in Boston or nyc. I gave up on the O’s when all the Baltimore people started whining about DC fans coming to the games. Somewhere around 1995. Made me realize that they’re very different cities.

I can't find a good reason to even go into DC anymore. Everything is better in NoVA.

Food in general? Unless you are looking for a specific genre of food, like Korean, which is far better in Annandale.

I can find great versions of any type of food in NoVa. Any type of cuisine you could want I can find a great version. The only thing DC has over NoVa is cocktail bars which only maybe Tyson's/Reston could compete with and I'm not even sure. Old Hat in Old Town is cool but that's only one. Casa Luna is actually pretty cool and has great drinks but tiny.

Anyone know where I can get a pair of Bresciani cotton socks (or other 100% cotton dress sock) in DC? Preferably downtown and not in Georgetown.

Paul Stuart in City Center has 100% cotton over-the-calf socks.

Life signs check. Some fits this week. Almost put a coat on today, but not quite there yet.

Everything you post is negative. Just lighten up, man. You're posting on a men's clothing forum. You ain't that cool.

Agreed. Always comes across as perpetually constipated.

No. Your insult makes no sense. Someone can easily have friends in NoVa and not DC (which based on people who live in DC I doubt I'd want to be around anyway).

Your attempt at a low blow failed miserably. Just like your social life.

Yet you care enough to view my posting history. Interesting. It seems you care a lot haha. I also notice you nicely left out some posts that didn't fit your little narrative.
